Ukulele Capo

A ukulele capo based on the design by MarkBenson. Prints in two parts and uses a peg spring for tension.

**Update**: Now with Fusion 360 file!

Fits a ukulele with a neck up to 37mm wide and around 21mm deep (less if using padding).

I really liked the design of the ukulele capo by MarkBenson, but after printing it I realised that my peg springs don't fit, so I re-built the design in Fusion 360, changed the allowances for the spring, added some extra thickness around the spring to account for the larger spring, and boom - another version!

This new version takes a peg spring with a 7mm coil in the middle, arms approx 17mm long, and made from 2mm wire. Commonly found in NZ.

Spring arm length can be changed by bending the arms to shorten them, which allows the fit between the clamp and the trigger to be adjusted.

Adding soft self-adhesive velcro to the clamping surfaces works well and will help prevent the ukulele and strings from getting scratched.
