A QUICK to use Clamping System for CNC T-tracks 

Nice work. You could use a different colour filament for a different lenght of a screw. In that case You could quickly visualy see all possibilities even if they are mixed in one box.

Your creative problem solving never ceases to amaze me! The cross grain, the tiny magnets to hold the washer. Great ideas all! I don't know what your plans are, but you'd kill it in mechanical engineering. A little statics, and strength of materials class and you're off to the races. Or you could kill in in the trades/maker space as well. You're funny w/o knowing you're funny. You're great at explaining your thinking, and you're edits are spot on. You could be the young-Diresta! :)

So glad you are back to uploading regularly for a while. Love your videos and appreciate all the hard work you put in!

thats great ! one soloution i thought of the spoil board is to glue a 6mm mdf top to 12mm ply that way you have the best of both worlds strong ply t tracks and a surface you can flatten

Thanks. Love the ideas. I'm so happy to see your current videos back online.

I always appreciate your content! You're skills at solving problems are impressive!

Great engineering and top notch results as always! And such a nice young man too. Your folks must be so proud.

Great video. It’s nice to see someone who has the tools has the ability to use them as well as you do. Thanks for sharing.

This 3D idea it's amazing man congratulations nice work

Marius is one of very few people on RU-vid who actually makes 3D printed objects that are useful. Very clever and useful

Fantastic problem solving - I love it

🔥 Nothing else to say. Mr. Hornberger, yet again, expanding the old game, by bringing in the new game, to make a better game for all. Bravo.

Fantastic stuff! I do enjoy your methodical approach and your ability to find solutions! Also I would use color to easily identify the length.

This is the true power of home 3D printing. Nice work Marius.

Marius, It’s great to see you developing your skills in CNC and 3D printing, because I’m sure they will be valuable skill sets for your Engineering Career!

your Engineering Education (along with your natural talents) is really shining through.... Congratulations!

If you have problems with the MDF wearing out, you could make them stronger with some cheap aluminium flat profile. My guess is that 2-3 mm will really spread the load. You may have to recut the pieces of mdf tho...

I am late to the party here, but you can use a 50/50 mix of polyurethane and a thinner and then wipe on multiple coats to the slot area on the underside and you will greatly increase its strength and durability with minimal increase in size. Great work as always.

I so enjoy watching you, you and my son are alike. You both have a mind that will take you far. Keep up the good work.

Nice to have more content from you again, great solutions!

This clamping setup is definitely a well thought out solution that should cover a broad range of needs. Well done!

I think those are the best clamps ive ever seen.

I love watching your videos. Great job! A neighbour from France.

Oh, my goodness, this is fantastic! I will keep this in mind when I finally spend the money on a CNC machine. Marius, you have such a bright future in product design!

Wow. Awesome work Marius!

Your work holding strategies are incredible!

great stuff Marius! thanks for sharing all these awesome ideas.

So neat and beautiful at the same time! Great job!

I am really impressed. Amazing.

German ingenuity at its best, well done marius, good job ty

You're a really generous, excellent maker-dude!

Very creative ideas and well executed. Good video. Thank you. Cheers, David

Twisted minds think alike! I wanted to make a few this weekend anyway for my new X-Y table.

Marius, I used very similar techniques on an Excellon circuit board router about 40years ago.We would often use tooling pins to relocate parts back on the machine for further processing. We also were able to ‘step’ larger pieces to allow accurate drilling & routing on work that was larger than the capacity of the machine.

Absolutely fantastic mechanical mind. You Sir, are an Inspiration, a master of the magnificent! Good on you....!

Dude. That's awesome. You're smart af I'd buy those for sure.

I love your use of 3D printing to problem solve

This deserves a patent. Smart solutions.

Great job! Already saved in my to-do list :)

Like the quality of your prints. You are a talented designer.

Nice designs and well thought out. Thanks for sharing!

Brilliant solutions. Well done.

To reduce wear on your flat surface you can use the trick I use for mine, I just use printing paper. It's very consistent on its thickness, so I just place a few sheets under the wood so the bit eats the paper surface instead of the flat surface. If I have a very large project, I have a roll of butcher paper that I fold over a few times to make the thickness I want.

wow! This idea is really cool! Thanks for teaching me.

Simply brilliant. Don't let the tool companies Rob you of your idea.

Well thought out Marius, a pleasure to watch

If anyone can make a Corona-Cure it's Marius! We believe in you Marius! There is no problem complex enough if you put your mind on it!

Your magnet idea and demo is fantastic!

Your content is excellent Marius. Seems to me I subscribed to you when you had less than 10K subs. It is easy to see why your channel has grown so much and is so popular. Your creativity is awesome.

Well done and well thought out designs.

Pure genius, yet again 👍🏻

You’re a smart cookie. Good ideas and good video.

Brilliant work sir. Very very helpful...

gotta say.. at 10:17, when you tilted the ramp up, I got emotional. What a great idea that you came up with! so many nice improvements!

Very well done. Great ingenuity.

Totally going to make this for my shop! I also use nylon bolts for the hold downs in case I crash the router. That doesn't happen very often anymore, but I run a shop at a school, so it does still happen with students' tool paths. I definitely recommend nylon bolts! They save end mills

So many options on fasteners and clamps, I like variety. I'm a fan of nylon and brass bolts/hardware when the job has small parts. I have a bad habit of running the expensive end mills into the steel ones on really tight jobs. These are always the last tool in that size that I have on hand for a job that needs to be done right at that moment.

You have a wonderful problem solving ability. The company that hires you when you graduate will be lucky -- and I expect several companies have thought of that already. If you use a knob with a long internally threaded shaft to go over a bolt that links into the table, it might allow a large enough adjustment range without tool path interference with short workpieces.

Very cool design 👍

Very good. Will try this on my 3018 cnc machine

Mega idee Da hatte jemand schon öfter Probleme mit der Befestigung wenn du so kreativ werden durftest Klasse Video wie gewohnt von dir Bist n Bomben Typ

Very clever design

Brilliant and great use for 3d printer

Thank you so much! Those parts are awesome.

great improvements, thanks for the video!

I hope you're planning to manufacture and sell these. These are a great idea, and I'm sure some company will snatch up your idea and start selling them.

You need to patent all of that!! Brilliant!! 👍👍

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. It's so refreshing to see a young man using his brain to the fullest. I know your parents are very proud! PS everytime you say sh** it makes me laugh. It's my go to word also! Thanks again!

Great ideas Marius. I'm going to pinch that ramp slot idea for my milling machine clamps :-)

I always enjoy your videos, without question, BUT... you do make my brain overload as I take in what you've done, and try to fit it into what I would like to do! :o) Keep it up.

genius - as always 😁👍🏼 great problem solving!

Very interesting video, keep them coming. Earl Connecticut, USA

Great project!

Nice job Marius.

lit! just finished watching, these look really useful.. those clamping speeds are insane :O nice work What do you think about (diy) vaccum holddown tables? :)

Excellent upgrade. Well thought out! I also see a business opportunity ;o) Thanks for sharing.

Those are beautiful tools. I even like the color choices you made - the orange and yellow goes well together. Now you just need to machine the clamps out of aluminum and anodize them a similar bright color. Maybe for the surface you could glue thin plywood on top of thicker MDF. That would give you plywood at the top of the track to take the clamping pressure, but the MDF would keep it flat.

For the different screw lengths you could use different filament colors. That way you can know by sight which ones you need. Great video.

Amazingly good.... (as always)

T-slot head bolts are available from e.g., Rockler. They're easier to use and, since the nut (knob) is now on the top, one bolt length is (usually) all you need.

Amazing problem solving. I am always impressed. The first think I thought was to: Put in a bolt, head first, shaved on two sides and use a wing nut. Then no issues with length. Another thought... use all thread (instead of bolts) and you can tighten from both ends.

I can imagine someone like Matthias W being impressed by *this* video :) Nice!!

Awesome stuff Marius, great clamping system! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ..... perhaps in addition to labeled bins for storing the bolts, if you had also printed different colored T-track nuts for the different thickness ranges they would be more quickly identifiable if for some reason you have multiple sizes out of the bins at the same time.

The technical term for the "spokes" is "knubbel". Awwesone Job.

Nice problem solving 👍

Sehr coole Lösungen, Marius ✅👏🏻👍🏻

Men, I love your work.

nice idea, thanks.

Very nice job

you're pretty awesome dude!

It is always exciting to see your ideas and creativity! Good job. BTW how is the school going?

You are a genius !

Great work! Regards

Outstanding!

Marius Dude... That was awesome. TFS, G :)

This design is both simple and very effective. It just automatically works without the user having to try anything. Proper engineering. You could get the benefits of a plywood base if you just glue MDF on top without losing too much Z-travel and still get the easy machining of MDF.

Turn the bolt over make a 3d printed holder/knob for the nut. Use a grinder to shape the bolt head like the drop in nuts. Then use the metal t-slot as intended. You made great 3d designs.

Awesome stuff! A link to the correct T-nuts would be great

Awesome design! As you were doing so much manual work on the little wood pieces I was wondering why you didn't simply 3D print all of it... watched 1 min more and you came to the same conclusion ^^ Feels like I am watching myself working ;)

good job!
