Hey everyone,

Here are three zip files.  The 3-25 high temp ...... is a folder with the assembly that we had priced out at fineline prototyping with their high temperature SLA.  The high temp sla isn't quite as flexible as the regular, so I did some reworking on the pads, both to ensure that they would press fit without cracking, and also to make the ball joint a bit stiffer so that it might be a bit easier to load elements into the clamp. I also changed the design slightly to make the jaws and the ball studs one piece in this design.

The file Dwayne Blank SLA is the file that I had originally sent to Andy Holmes to get printed.  However he expressed some concern that the pads might crack when press fit onto the balls so he printed one extra pad thats not in this file.

The file working prototype contains Solidworks drawings of all the pieces printed and used in our current clamp.  If you need any other files from me let me know.
