Design modification

[Matthew Barry]

Dear group,

There needs to be two adjustments to the design.

The first is that the clamp pads should be thermally insulated to
withstand high temperatures of around say 150 degree-C. You should be
able to find a good enough thermal insulator to use as the pad
material to protect the clamp system if it is SLA-ed.

Secondly, we would like to have an interchangeable pad design. In your
original design, there is a circular pad used to secure the TE element
within the clamp jaws. It would also be good to have a pad designed to
be rectangular, but with the thin edge of the rectangle protruding
from the ball-joint. Imagine a thin rectangular sheet with a thickness
of say 5[mm] and a width of 20[mm]. The depth of the rectangle can be
anywhere from 5-20[mm]. we want the thickness-width edge making
contact with the TE element. This modified interchangeable design came
about from the soldering placement of the lead wires - some of the
joints extend into our original clamping planes.

Regards,

Matt
