This is a stepping stone to a different model and it was intended just to demonstrate how a screw would normally work before diving into the mind blowing super fine adjustment version from two coarse screws (gotcha wondering now don't I?). During design I decided to make it functional for myself, and possibly others, as a handheld clamp for items which need to be clamped and held onto.
This model uses printed threads and the hex headed screw is identical to a standard fastener, except plastic. So, it would use a standard size socket to turn it or simply an adjustable wrench or pliers, but it does turn well and function using just your hands to tighten the clamp.
If you're interested in the super fine adjustment version of this contraption, I've posted that model here as well. It's pretty cool, from a ½-13 screw and a ¾-10 screw an equivalent motion to a 44 threads per inch fastener can be achieved!
If you don't believe me, check out the other model here:

Also, there is a video on YouTube explaining everything and comparing the two here:
All parts for this one are Qty (1) Except for the pin which requires (2). I used PLA to print mine.
Thanks for checking it out, and most of all ENJOY!
