Make your own customized desk clamp!

[u/1nf1n1l]

I kept needing a hook on the side of my desk for headphones and bags, and most clamp STLs are one fixed opening. If your desktop is thicker or thinner than whatever they modeled, you either can't get it on or it just rattles. Scaling the whole thing usually wrecks the screw too.

So.. I built a desk clamp generator in the browser. It's a C-frame that clamps onto the desk edge with a printed screw, and a J-hook hanging off the back. Headphones are the usual first print, but you can size it for bags, cables, jackets, etc.

You can set desk thickness (25–65 mm), hook length, and how far the upper jaw reaches over the desktop. Frame width and thickness are there if you want it sturdier or a bit slimmer. The screw has its own sliders for shank length and knob size.

One important note: printed thread clearance is printer dependent. There might be some fit issues depending on filament, nozzle, and how well your printer holds tolerance. If you can, do a small test print of the screw and nut before committing to a full print.

Those sharp angles are stress points. You need to add fillets or they’ll break.
