🛠️ MFT Bench Hold-Down Clamps (M6 & M8 Versions)

Optimize your workflow on the Festool MFT/3 (or any workbench with 20mm dog holes) with these 3D printable hold-down clamps. Designed to provide a solid and quick grip without scratching your workpieces, they are a budget-friendly and customizable alternative to original accessories.

✨ Key Features:

• Dual Versions: The package includes files for both M6 (ideal for precision) and M8 bolts (for those requiring maximum clamping force).
• Universal Compatibility: Designed specifically for standard 20mm holes.
• Ergonomic Design: The top knob allows for a secure grip and smooth rotation, locking the workpiece in seconds.
• Workpiece Protection: The arm's geometry distributes pressure evenly, preventing unwanted marks on delicate surfaces.

⚙️ Printing Advice (Important!)

For this type of mechanical accessory, which is subject to constant stress and tension, I do not recommend using PLA, as it would be too rigid and brittle over time.

• Recommended Material: PETG. PETG offers the right structural flexibility and excellent impact and mechanical fatigue resistance. It won't snap under load and will maintain its shape even after heavy use.
• Infill: Minimum 30-50% (Gyroid or Grid for maximum internal strength).
• Walls/Perimeters: At least 3-5 perimeters to ensure the bolt hole and knob areas are solid.

🔩 Required Hardware:

• 1x Hex head bolt (M6 or M8 depending on the chosen version).
• For a 19mm thick bench, you will need a 90mm long bolt to hold a 10mm thick piece in place,
  so choose a bolt based on your bench and the piece you want to work on.
• 1x Nut or under-bench clamping element (compatible with the MFT system).
