<p>my openSCAD fractal vise! no hardware store needed! just a 3dprinter, some small pliers, and some grease. based on teaching tech's design.</p><p>very large!!! need at least 200x200mm build plate on printer.</p><p><i>like what I'm doing? tip some crypto! details in my profile.</i></p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Creality</p><p> </p><p><strong>Printer: </strong></p><p>CR-10S</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p> </p><p>Yes</p><p> </p><p><strong>Supports: </strong></p><p>Yes</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p> </p><p>0.2mm</p><p> </p><p><strong>Infill: </strong></p><p>5%</p><p><br/><strong>Filament:</strong><br/>sunlu/esun pla/pla+ silk grey,any solid color <br/> </p><p><strong>Notes: </strong></p><p>raft for bolts and other small parts.</p><p>supports for base_front and thread_mount 80 degrees.</p><p> </p><p>all printed with 3 walls and 4 top and bottom layers.</p><p>grease top rails of base front and back, threads of t_rod, gears, shaft holes, and arc pieces where they slot together.</p><p>thread lib is modded.</p><h3>Assembly</h3><p><strong>print the parts (tips etc.)...</strong></p><p>all parts are in correct orientation.</p><p>raft for bolts and other small parts.</p><p>supports for base_front and thread_mount 80 degrees.</p><p>all printed with 3 walls and 4 top and bottom layers.</p><p>make sure the parts do not warp. reprint if needed.</p><p>remove all suports from parts that need them.</p><p>8x 0<br/>8x b0<br/>4x1<br/>4x b1<br/>2x 2<br/>2x b2<br/>2x jaw_block<br/>1x thread_mount<br/>10x block_bolts<br/>2x t_rod<br/>1x shaft<br/>1x shaft_clip<br/>1x handle<br/>3x vise_gear<br/>3x gear_pin<br/>2x base_bracket<br/>16x base_bolts<br/>1x base_back<br/>1x base front</p><p><strong>the arcs...</strong></p><p>every arc is split in half. use the bolts for that arc to assemble. every bolt for arcs is of different lengths.<br/>organizing the parts is very helpful!!!<br/>start with the jaw blocks and largest arcs (2.stl).<br/>slide the half with threads on to jaw block. and bolt on the other half with b2.stl bolts<br/>repeat for 1.stl and b1.stl but twice as many times and on to the 2.stl arc's smaller toungs.<br/>as for 0.stl and b0.stl make sure the bolt heads are on the same side as the bolt heads of jaw block.<br/>also remove the sacrificial bridges on those.</p><p><strong>the base part 1...</strong></p><p>using block bolts:<br/>attach one jaw block to base front.<br/>attach the other jaw block to thread mount.<br/>take a gear pin and insert it into a gear such that it does not stick out.<br/>align gear to center hole for shaft so that the large hole of gear faces the 2 large holes where the shaft and handle goes.<br/>insert shaft. the clip slots should be close to flush with inner wall.<br/>slip on the clip.</p><p>thread the t_rods on to the thread mount (which has the other jaw block) about half way. make sure they are equally threaded on (even to each other and rotated the same).</p><p><strong>the base part 2...</strong></p><p>temporarily put a gear on each t_rod. mark the tooth that's facing down with a permanent marker.</p><p>remove the gears and insert a gear pin in each.</p><p>put a gear next to the middle gear with mark facing you and fix in place using the end of the handle.</p><p>do the same for the other but be sure the marks line up the same way before fixing in place.</p><p>put the t_rods into the holes where the gears are.<br/>then add the base back to the t_rods.</p><p>using base brackets and base bolts, bolt the 2 base pieces together from the outside.</p><p><strong>finishing touches...</strong></p><p>grease all the moving parts.</p><p>add handle and you are ready to grip some weird shapes!</p>
