A hand clamp that can be 3d printed is pretty handy and a lot of the time, especially in craft situations you need something help but not with a lot of pressure. This print was perfect for my daughter who's just started hand crafted book making.
When printing at half size I found that the lever doesn't grab the same way and I experimented with it a little making the lever a little longer into the tab where it fits which helped a little but not great. I think the arc is a little too flexible at that size and does get the same bite it does at the larger size. Comment if anyone wants me to upload the remixed lever or if you've found a solution to a smaller size version.
