designed a parametric clamp stabilizer plate so my cat perch stops shifting around [OpenSCAD]

Have a cat perch that clamps to my desk and the clamp disk kept creeping and rotating over time. Designed a plate to fix it mechanically:

  • It mounts to the underside of the desk and the clamp disk drops into a deep recessed pocket, so the disk is fully captured and can't shift or spin

  • Small clearance on the pocket so it seats easily but stays put

  • 4 countersunk screw holes in the corners to attach it to the underside of the desk

  • Fully parametric, just plug in your clamp's disk diameter and thickness and it builds around it

Currently tuned for a 35mm disk on a 120x120mm plate but the whole thing regenerates from a handful of numbers at the top.

Would this be useful for other desk clamps too? Mic arms, monitor mounts, etc. Happy to share the file once I've done a proper test fit.
