I printed one normal size and then one at 167% to fit M5 bolts.

Perfect use for those spare nylock mod nuts. (edited)

Great model! Works great.

Very nicely engineered to make it almost 100% FDM compatable. Just need to get rid of the fasteners and perhaps work on improving the spring mechanism.

Looks good. Easy to print and assemble. It is necessary to grind the contact surfaces of the spring and jaws. Apply Vaseline to all moving contact surfaces. More force is needed to get the jaws to click into the end position. PETG

It took little bit of sanding for smooth operation, then it wroks great.

Printed with 0.6 nozzle and 0.3 layer height.
I did several of the "original" ones before and this one is way easier to assemble. Initially it was quite hard to open/close but after some PTFE lube it almost works as good as the "spring-version". (edited)

Prusa orange Petg , works perfect.
