I made a snooker cue tip clamp many years ago and using this as a model I decided it would be a good project for 3D printing. I have seen one more example but felt it was probably made for pool cues which tend to be fatter. There are 3 parts to the design. The main body has a tapered exterior and 4 slots allowing it to slide over the tapered cue and be squeezed to grip it. The top piece is a push fit onto the body and has a central tip locator recess. You can adjust its position on the body to suit your cue and either glue it on once you are happy or leave it as a push fit. The clamp ring goes over the body and locks the body to the cue. I left tiny bridging pieces in the slots to keep the shape when printing. I printed the body laying down and with support but it will probably print vertically without support.
