Description

Heavy duty desktop clamp vise with interchangeable grips. The vise can rotate for more convenience. The larger parts can all be printed at 0.2 just fine. The rest I highly recommend printing at a lower layer height especially the 2 bolts and screw. The pivot ball will need to be printed at 0.12 or lower. The following parts will need to be glued with epoxy (1 & 2, 4 & 8, 5 & 6). 7, 14 and 19 need to be made of Tpu. This design is guaranteed to work down to 50% size though the bottom plate bolt may be a bit tight.

Parts 1 & 2 are separated for a stronger print along the “grain" layers, to save on filament used for supports and for a cleaner overall print.

UPDATE 9/16/23
-Added a new grip design that incorporates both the previous designs into 1 and the pad to go with.

UPDATE 12/17/23
-Modified the main screw to have a notch in it for a retention washer so the vise will open and close as you rotate the main screw.
-Added a new grip for holding circuit boards

there is no retention washer in the stl. 1 and 2 is crap, have to put them together with a screw. 7 has to be tpu, but no information. to open you have to shift the 4 with the hand. 19 is to small, doesn´t fit. sorry this is a bad model.

Not sure what you mean by no retention washer. It's #18. 1 an 2 need to be epoxied together. I separated them for easier printing. 19 is to be made from tpu.

@shothebow

You cant epoxy them. The hole power goes on that, it had to be one or with a hole for a screw.

Printing right now. I think there is only one rod keeper in the build, rods have two ends ;) I haven't quite gotten everything printed, but it looks like there might need to be epoxy in a couple of other places: Between parts 6 and 5 and between 5 and 3 (numbers on the diagram). Also, the vise base pad is not on your diagram. (Not a problem, I figured out where it goes.) I am puzzled by both the vise base pad and the bottom plate pad. Why did they need printing separately? The bottom of both parts they attach to are on the build plate and guaranteed to be flat.

Epoxying 3 & 5 is optional as it has enough hold on its own. I only do 1 part per file so as to have the highest compatibitily for people.

Replying to @SYST3M_OVERIDE :

Thank you for the guidance. I'm going to add a TPU disk under the the vise to assist with grip. Maybe the epoxy and the PLA+ I printed with are sufficiently strong to cinch it down tight enough, but I'd rather avoid the risk.

@0r3g3N

am i missing something or is it that by looking at the parts, the front part is loose and must be opened manually?

@SYST3M_OVERIDE

What front part are you talking about? #4 End?

I really like the model and it is very functional! However, I think it is a little overcomplicated for a 3D printed tool. some parts are not very doing anything in the base. the vise itself is very good though! something that is not working for me is the way the two parts of the base are put together to form the table clamp. The more pressure it puts on the connection to break it. overall I think it is very good and could be simplified to better suit the 3D printing world.
