Mini Print-in-Place Vise
Print-in-Place Mini Vise This mini vise prints vertically as one piece using no supports. There are small pads on the moving jaws that reduce the clearance required in order to print it in place. The risers under the vise allow the handwheel to be turned while sitting on a flat surface. The knob on the hand wheel should swivel as well. The jaws are 64mm wide and open to 80mm. It has an overall printing height of 164mm.
Print Instructions The moving jaws form on top of the serrations of the stationary jaw and as a result it’s important that you use a .4mm nozzle x .45mm line width, and .2mm layer heights if printing at 100%. To free the jaws after printing I pried slightly with a screw driver on each side of the jaws before opening it with the screw.
Heavy Version The hardest thing about this print is probably the overhangs and bridging as a result of the weight saver holes. If these holes are a issue, I made a Heavy Version, without them.
Printed on the Muldex rep-rap IDEX printer.
Printed with 3D Fuel Silver PLA

Realmente Excelentes trabajos y diseños!!!!!!
Does it hold alright?
I think it holds well for a plastic vise, no replacement for a metal vise though...
Printed using PLA+, and it came out well. The only issue is the knob on the front broke off immediately. Maybe reconfigure without the spinner knob?
Yeah, the knob is the weakest part but it still functions without it... I don't think I would remove it but just make it solid, and not rotate. Although I just got a idea, I think I'll put a hole in the center to force the slicer to add to more perimeters. Its a trick I've been using with shafts lately. I will work on a easy print version where I'll remove the weight savers and make this nob solid.
Just did a test print with normal PLA and this is an awesome design. I think a version with a solid frame and jaws would be great to make it more robust! I'm planning on printing it in a CF HTPLA and putting a brass weight in the base instead of using the holes.
Glad you like it! I'll work on a version without the holes. I just pulled a version CF Nylon version of the printer!
