I was using a Harbor Freight vise as a cheap locksport stand, but it felt bulky and didn't fit some locks as well as I would have liked. Saw people online recommend the SmallRig Crab clamp, but wanted to save a few dollars by using my existing vise as a donor if possible. This replaced the metal hex piece inside the lower ball mount. I used the existing set screw to secure the new piece. The new piece is also shorter than the original one on the Harbor Freight vise. I felt it looked cleaner and allows for more of the adjustment to come from the SmallRig arm instead. 

Printed in PLA with 100% infill, brim enabled, and 4 walls to make it solid.

 You could probably get away with anything greater than 50%, but I like to go heavy on plastic threaded pieces. 

There are two STLs in case anyone wants to add a different thread pitch. I'd like to eventually redo it with heat set inserts so I may update this in the future to support those options.
