I created this piece to help snap large OpenGrid panels together.  It's designed to work specifically with the opengrid panels with a multiboard-style threaded hole.

I designed this to be used with some kind of vice (several 3D print-in-place designs are available) and they install to the 2nd row, which is thicker and helps distribute the force.  The clamp faces sit 80mm apart, so you will need a clamp or vice with at least that clearance.  I found that large panels require a high amount of force to snap together, but I'm also using PETG for everything. 

Use OpenGrid print settings, but increase to 4 or 5 walls for extra durability.  Print as shown, no supports should be needed.
