This is a buckle for making quick adjustable bungee cords from 3/16th in shock cord.
Two of these cords came with a bike rack, but I didn't want to pay the exorbitant price to buy more of them from the manufacturer so I (poorly) reverse engineered the OEM friction buckle.
The base model is designed for 3/16th in shock cord, but it works well for 1/8th in scaled down to 70 or 80%, depending on print settings. I don't have any to test, but I imagine it's also compatible with 4 or 5mm metric cord.
Before committing to reverse engineering, I spent a long time trying to find the original source of this buckle without success. Only as I went to post this model did I discover Black_Wolfie's version and the name Clamcleat, which led me to this commercial version of the bungee cord that is much more reasonably priced than the one I'm replicating. I hope that if someone else is going down the same rabbit hole, this will help you find what you're looking for a little more quickly than I did :)
