This is a simple clamp that can be used to cinch up a cord on a ceiling-mounted hanging lamp. The parametric FreeCAD file is included if you need to size it differently for your purposes; just change the values as necessary within the VarSet.
This was designed to keep the lamp hanging straight, as the lamp cord remains co-linear after installation. Installation can be a bit annoying and you have to keep the cord held within the channels, but I found that getting them in place and then sliding the other half over top (to keep pressure on the cords) and then inserting the screw worked well.
Requires the following hardware:
M3x8mm cap head screw
M3x3mm threaded insert
Meant to be printed with the inner surfaces facing the print bed, mostly because I was too lazy to make the cap head screw inset printable from the other orientation. You could change it to a countersunk screw or fix it to be bridgeable if you wanted, but the provided orientation works fine for the size of cord I required and the bridges are short.
I printed this in PLA as I didn't really want it to flex at all.
