Small Table Top Vice
Description
Update: Printed And Finished, Turned Out Awesome! Couple Notes To Guide Your Success: 1: The Bolts Are Scaled At 100% To Their Corresponding Holes In The .Stl File. I Did This Due To Differing Shrink Factors For Different Filaments And Printers. I Printed Mine In 3Dmars Plain White Pla. Bolts Were Printed Vertically With The Knobs On The Print Surface, .06 Layer Height, .08 Walls, 50% Fill, 50Mm/S Speed, 210C Extruder And 60C Bed Temp. I Also Used An Additional Cooling Fan (Desk Fan) Which Seemed To Help With Thread Definition. In Addition, I Scaled The Bolts At .95 On The X & Y Axis, With The Z At 100%, Which Required Very Minimal Fitting For A Tight, Smooth Threading. (Mostly Had To File The Openings On The Vice Body And Sliding Jaw, Bolts Were Fine) I Designed This Simple Table Top Vice In Tinkercad To Have A Useful Tool For Working With Small Objects. Mine Is Still Printing, So I Cannot Yet Comment On The Performance Of The Vice, But This Is My First Big Design, So I Wanted To Share It! (Assembly Instructions Below) Please Feel Free To Share Any Feedback Or Recommendations And Let Me Know How Yours Turned Out! I Will Be Uploading My Finished Pictures, Along With Any Updates (If Necessary) Thanks! To Assemble 1: Insert Drive Bolt Into Base 2:Thread Bushing Up Drive Bolt Until It Matches Up With Its Recess On The Body. Do Not Over-Tighten/Check To Make Sure The Drive Bolt Can Still Spin Freely. 3: Slide The Moving Jaw Onto The Track Recessed Into The Body And Turn Drive Bolt To Thread Into The Jaw. 4: Thread Clamp Screw/Bolt Into Clamp Portion Of Body. 5: Test Fit The Vice In Its Planned Location, Affix Optional Clamp "Gripper" If Necessary. 6: Once Fit And Function Tested, Glue Drive Bolt Bushing To Drive Bolt (Not The Body) 7: That Should About Do It! Let It Dry And Let Me Know How It Works.
