Hobby Vice

thingiverse

Here is a small hobby vice. I use the vice to hold wire, small printed circuit board, etc while soldering. The vice has a 36mm jaw that opens to 38mm. My design is simple. It has three printed parts. Should a jaw get damaged, it's a simple matter to reprint that part, alone. I've reused a M10 bolt from another old vice. To adjust the vice jaw gap, instead of the original 6mm steel bar, I replaced the bar with a M6 bolt that holds the knob in-place. An M6 thread is inserted on the M10 bolt head hole. My print is made in PLA 1.75mm Aurarum Gold filament, with 0.2mm layer height and 15% infill on a PRUSA I3 MK3S printer. No print supports required. I hope you can find this print useful, too.
