Top/bottom anchor models

for those of us looking at non-standard routers, there are two issues.

  1. padding the router out so the arms fit well, but have a nice sliding fit.
  2. holding on to the router at the top and bottom.

the second can be done with tape or similar, but it would be better if we could grab the model of the 4-arm clamp and adjust the hole size, then print it ourselves.

@bar, please post the model for this. I’ll import it into onshape and make it so that people not logged in can configure the hole size and export it.

I think that this is a fantastic idea!

Router Clamp.step (3.2 MB)

I didn’t realize that OhShape could do that. Super cool!

Ok, please check this onshape doc, it should let you enter a router diameter (between 20 and 69mm) and then let you export a file. It should let you do this without creating an onshape account or logging in if you have one.

I’m going to go back and do more with it to make it 3d printable, but this should work as a 1st draft, trying to print will produce a lot of support due to the honeycomb on the bottom, but that shouldn’t hurt anything.

the one possible problem is if there ends up being so much material that it’s hard to flex to clamp

Can confirm that did work for me without a login. I could customize the size and I was able to export an STL. Router body size setting is under the “Configurations” section.
