Tube clamp

medium tier · create

The request

Make a one-piece tube clamp for a 20mm tube: a block with a 20.4mm horizontal bore through it, a 2mm slit from the top face down into the bore so it can pinch, and two 4mm vertical clamping-screw holes, one each side of the slit.

What the AI judge checks

  • A horizontal bore through the block sized for a 20 mm tube
  • A slit from the top face that reaches all the way into the bore
  • Two vertical screw holes, one on each side of the slit
  • The screw holes are placed so that tightening them would close the slit
  • A single block with no separate or floating parts

Measured checks

  • tube bore exists (some through-tunnel) (gate)
  • slit opened the top (bore not a closed tunnel alone)
