3D model description

This was nearly the perfect clamp I needed for my hang glider's control bar to keep the wheels from moving side to side. I only made a few changes to MWT's design. 

• I didn’t want the ribs on the outside since I didn’t feel it was needed and the pointy edges are a safety risk for this application
• I wanted the knob to hold an M5 bolt without it falling out, so I put a nut trap on the inside. I also redesigned the outer grip to be smoother.
• I wanted a left and right so the knobs are facing the same way on the control bar. I also gave them a bigger nut trap to better hold the M5 nut.

You can probably get away with not using any supports since the knob would only need a small bridge that’ll be covered by the bolt head anyway. Also the nut trap on the clamp was rotated to not need them.
