Remixed to use a metal clamp I located on Amazon. Here is the link:

WALI C-Clamp Base Stand Mounting Accessory for WALI Monitor Mount Workstation System (C-CLAMP), Black
My remix completely reworks the original to use the above beefy clamp and to combined the T and Main into one object. I also added a spine to the bottom for extra rigidity.
Printing the set burns a 1kg spool of filament - easy. Start with a fresh spool! If your printer can handle the height, print from the clamp side resting on the bed and use rectilinear infill of about 20%. This makes it very sturdy. From the clamp to the tip of the base is 281.5mm. My SeeMeCNC Rostock can handle 400mm high so its why I went this route. Sorry if this exceeds your print size. Use it as an excuse to upgrade your printer! Print time was about 17 hours and 39 minutes.
I have made two sets of these now and both are perfect for what my friend and I needed. The clamp I chose is the same used to mount monitor arms to your desk. Its overkill, but the stick and throttle are very secure. As a bonus you can mount something to the top of the clamp. I plan on working on a custom USB button panel...
I ditched the plastic 3D printed bolts and purchased 4 M6-1.00x60 bolts to secure the base. You will also need to get 2 M6 bolts to secure the bracket. As of writing this I forget exactly the specific size. I will verify and update this text as soon as possible or you can pop down to the hardware store and pick what works for you.
UPDATE: Replaced the .stl and .f3d on 4/2/2021 20:34 ET. Wrong version was uploaded yesterday.
