Print-in-Place Mini Vise

Print-in-Place Mini Vise 

This mini vise prints vertically as one part using no supports. There are small pads on the moving jaws that reduce the clearance required in order to print it in place. The risers under the vise allow the handwheel to be turned while sitting on a flat surface. The knob on the hand wheel swivels as well. The jaws are 64mm wide and open to 80mm. It has an overall printing height of 164mm.

Print Instructions The moving jaws form on top of the serrations of the stationary jaw and as a result it’s important that you use a .4mm nozzle x .45mm line width, and .2mm layer heights if printing at 100%. To free the jaws after printing I pried slightly with a screw driver on each side of the jaws before opening it with the screw.

Heavy Version The hardest thing about this print is probably the overhangs and bridging as a result of the weight saver holes. If these holes are a issue, I made a Heavy version, without them.

Printed on the Muldex rep-rap IDEX printer.
