To test these out, I started making these fellas that slide on to my existing Panavise jaws. I really like the four bar design of V1-V4, but I haven't yet found a way to get them compliant enough and with enough range of motion. V5 is the best so far at conforming to a range of shapes (it's the one shown in the little short above.) But it also has a bit too much torsional compliance, which seems suboptimal for a vise :) <a href="https://jfs-agri.com/index.php/bubsbuilds-projects/just-playin-and-concept-demo-projects/flexure-fun/63-flexure-fractal-vise-jaws">I've got more details on all of the designs here, and I'll also keep updating it as I continue to tinker</a>
