This video gave me the idea for making these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tRgONkbEdM

Dimensions can be altered to suit your needs. Use the Customizer app to alter the clamp dimensions.

Shown are two versions of the clamps. One version was printed to use 1/4"-20 threaded rod, while the 2nd version uses M3 screws.

Required hardware:

2x threaded rod pieces or screws
2x nuts to match threaded rod
Loctite to adhere nut to threaded rod
