Attached are PNG's of the components of a 3D printed record clamp, and a photo of a completed unit. If there is any interest I will be happy to post the the Freecad files (better, because then it is easy to make your own modifications) and the .STL files. I am making these available under the CC-BY-SA license (that is the sharing license). The design was inspired by several designs that I have seen on thingiverse (for example Ghostly Record Clamp by Feroto - Thingiverse ). None that I saw included the knurling (which helps to twist the knob), the locking wings (which helps with tightening the knob) or the strobe pattern (yes that's a strobe pattern that really works with a 60 hz light).
I made this on an inexpensive DaVinci Pro 1.0 Jr. printer) using 3D Fuel Pro PLA. It seems to work well on my ancient, but still serviceable Thorens TD-160 with home made record mat.
Thanks for looking.
