Workstation MFT style top and clamps

|

Updated Mon Oct 16 2023

Since i needed to clamp small pieces to the Workstation but got tired of using double sided tape i made this top for my workstation, inspired by other designs here on the Hub and MFT tables. Made 3 different sizes and some clamps and end stops. Feel free to modify as needed. I think it would be possible to go down to 5-6mm in height for the clamps and for the stops with the right material, but that will be a later test. All drawn in Studio and there are depth encoding in the files.
