A useful project vise, capable of holding work securely with minimal flex. The jaws are 75mm wide, 30mm tall, and max opening is 100mm.
Requires the following hardware:
- 1x 8mm, 2 start, 4mm pitch lead screw & matching brass nut
- 12x M4x25mm socket head cap screw
- 4x M4x16mm socket head cap screw
- 2x M4x10mm socket head cap screw
- 4x M3x10mm button head cap screw
The model is designed to print at 0.2mm layer height, with 4 perimeter walls and 35% triangle infill. I used brims and buildplate-touching tree supports at 85 degrees for the recess in the dynamic jaw. Print outer wall first to keep dimensions accurate; clearances are tight.
Jaw play can be fine tuned by sanding down or shimming the angle block where it attaches to the bottom of the dynamic jaw. I recommend checking the fit in 0.05mm increments.
The leadscrew should be cut down to around 170mm. I recommend grinding the end flat and putting a 45° bevel around the edge before trying to thread it into the plastic pieces.
