ClampDock (modular clamp-on system)
This is the core of my ClampDock system of modular accessories, which can be attached to a table, desk or shelf edge. It is adjustable to varying thicknesses of materials and can host an array of accessories. The clamping mechanism allows you to quickly attach and remove the device and adapt it to various installations.
The ClampDock is 100% printed and snaps together; no hardware, fasteners or adhesives are required.
This download contains the ClampDock host files only. You must download the snap-on ClampDock Accessories separately.
Print Settings
For the best results, I suggest the following: Material = PLA / PETG, use TPU95A for the grips. Nozzle = 0.4mm Layer Height = 0.2mm Line Width = 0.4mm Wall Count = 4 (1.6mm) Top and Bottom Layer Count = 5 Detect Thin Walls = ON Wall Generator = Arachne Infill = 40% (Cubic) Brim = Should not be needed Support = No Print orientation = As per the STL/3MF files.

Revisions and Updates I occasionally update and revise my designs. When I do, I’ll document the changes here. Check back periodically for the latest revision notes or if you’re experiencing any issues with a model.
2025-02-08: I have added a shortened lever (file "ClampDock 1v00a_103b short lever.stl") which is a substitute for the original lever. This new "short" lever allows you to position the ClampDock in a tighter space but at the expense of making the lever more difficult to feel and rotate. I suggest printing both and testing them for your applications.































Awesome. Thanks for posting and your comments.
By the way do you think one of the attachments for it can be a phone holder cool?
I will try to come up with one. Thank you.
I followed all the settings and it printed very well but the slider will no slide onto the main piece without getting stuck even before it gets down to the ribs. Any ideas what I can do different besides sanding on it?
I had a similar experience. The printing looked really great, but I wasn't able to get the Slider onto Main at all. I am using PLA with an Anycubic Kobra Go. I printed Benchy earlier in the day, and it came out very clean also.
Are you able to see where the interference is? I could send you a version to test with more clearance if you are interested. Please email me at pdb6251 gmail.com and I can send you a test file.
Sanding should work but should not be needed so I guess there is something else wrong. Perhaps some first layer squish or some lifting on the first layers which causes some distortion. Also, try a very small amount of lubricant. Can you see where it is binding or not fitting well? If you want to send me some photos by email to pdb6251 gmail.com I will try to help you.
Hi. It would be great if the lever wasn't longer than the slider. I want to attach it to a couch, and the lever prevent me to put it further in, as the couch arm goes down to the floor.
Hi, I just added a shortened lever to the posting. Please let me know how it works for you.
Oh. Ok. I will look into that tomorrow.
This is begging for a way to mount on top of doors or similar profiles, like the edges of big plastic boxes.
Similar to your spare toilet paper hanger, but compatible with all the accesories you built for this. :)
Thanks for sharing.
Great idea! I will add that to the list of expansion designs for this.
I just printed it and assembled is is good it is tight! So I this I can put some heavy stuff on it good try dude this is awesome
Would this be strong enough for a big/heavy water bottle?
This is the most useful and well made print series that is FREE too
Dude, I downloaded a bin with this concept, but there was only a bin. You did several things and this is AWESOME! Thank you very very much!
Thanks brah!
