Moxon Vise assembly kit

thingiverse

This is a simple old skool Moxon vise kit for metric M16 threaded rods and nuts. I printed the parts with the following Cura settings on my Ender 3: - Layer height: 0.2 - Shell: Wall line count: 4 (important!, these parts need to be sturdy) - Infill density: 65% - Build plate adhesion: Brim - Supports: YES - Material: PLA - When printing the washers you don't need a brim and you should set the infill to 100% You need: - Two M16 metric threaded rods. Approx 20-30 cm long. - Six M16 metric nuts - Two identical wooden blocks (one front and one backing block) for you vise. Preferably some kind of hardwood. Instructions: - Glue one M16 nut to to each of the Vise Handles. I prefer epoxy glue for this task. - Drill two 16mm holes (left and right) through both blocks while perfectly aligned. Approx 30 mm from each side perfectly centered. - Enlarge the holes on the front block in the horisontal direction, you are gonna need the wiggle room. Do not enlarge it in the vertical direction. - Insert one M16 rod into each hole of the back block - Insert a M16 nut in to each of the fixtures and screw them on the M16 rods on the backside of the backing block - Fasten the fixtures with four screws to the backside of the back block. Do nut use tapered screws since you will crack the plastic. - Fasten one nut and one washer to each of the rods against the fixture and tighten them carefully, do not overdo this since its plastic after all. - Fasten the backing block to your bench using your prefered method. - Insert the front block through the two fixed M16 rods - Screw one handle and one washer to each of the M16 rods - Screw one end cap to each of the M16 rods. - Done
