Printing

This variant uses the standard PitClamp Mini print settings with an additional wall on the Ring component.
SettingValue
Walls6 (Ring: 7 walls)
Infill typeCross Hatch or Gyroid
Infill percentage10%
SupportsNormal (Snug) with 3° threshold angle
Support placementAllow supports on part
SeamNearest (or your preference)
Recommended filament: PLA+ for optimal strength and durability.
All parts must print in the default file orientation. Printing Base components in other orientations causes structural weakness that may lead to failure under load.
If your printer is well calibrated and your material has optimal layer adhesion, you can use the print-in-place Upper+Handle variant. Find this in the /Non-Standard folder—it’s included in the Generic 3MF file by default.

Critical area reinforcement

For maximum strength, use a cube modifier to force 100% infill at the critical stress area shown below.
Adding 100% infill at high-stress areas significantly increases the load capacity and longevity of your mount.
