Remix of a Losmandy clamp model from Onshape by Alex Douglas. I see a lot of variations of it floating around, not sure who the originator is.

This model passed fit checks, clamps well, and worked flawlessly for its first night of use. Requires supports, which should be in the 3MF file. I used an M5 heat insert in the body, and an M5x16 socket-head screw for the clamp. The holes in the Synta shoe are sized to cut your own M5 threads with a screw.
