Winter has just started, and you're dreaming of first chair and itching to scan your Ikon or Epic pass. But wait, you dismounted your bindings, your edges are dull, and you need a fresh wax! You don't want to shell out $300 to get them hot waxed and tuned at REI, and Swix sells a tuning kit for HOW MUCH?
Print out a set of these for ~$12 worth of material and steal some hand clamps from your roommate/friend/dad/uncle's garage instead!* Adds an elevated surface for easy binding mounting, has a slot to drop your board into for edge tuning, and includes an optional lateral clamp design to hold your board steady while scraping wax.
*These parts are designed to be used with Harbor Freight hand clamps and Harbor Freight pads, YMMV on clamp compatibility. Print a sample first to check.

The .3mf should be plug and play.
The small and medium pads will fit the parts, so you'll need 2 sets.
I would recommend using an adhesive of some sort to keep the pads attached to the part. You may also be inclined to print your own pads with TPU if you have your TPU settings dialed in.
To assemble, just take the end of the clamp off, salvage the nut, bolt, and pad and install as shown in the reference images.
Highly recommend 4 wall loops, 40% triangle infill. Printed in Elegoo PLA+, works fine for me!
