Tips are appreciated and go towards creating new designs

I got a good deal on a used Manfrotto 175 Spring Clamp, but half of the rubber pads (part R175,05) were missing, and the other half was badly worn. With official replacements being either nigh-unavailable or crazy expensive to get I was looking for an alternative solution. As I had been wanting to experiment with TPU / flexible filament for a while I figured this was a nice, simple project to give TPU a try.

The print is super simple and should be done in 15-25 minutes, depending on what printing speed you're using. And while I haven't put the replacements through their paces yet, the shore 94A TPU filament I've used grips a piece of paper pretty tightly and you need to use quite a bit of force to get it out of the clamps' jaws. They fit great, too.
 

Print Notes:

Place the part with the bigger side on the build plate.

Unless your printer or filament requires it there is no need for rafts or supports, it should print as is.

Obviously do adjust your print settings to whatever type of TPU / flex filament you're using, such as minimizing your feed gear pressure, slow printing speed, no retractions and whatnot else you need to do for your particular type of flexible filament.
