Nutcracker

I saw this in an antique store and I thought I can do this.
3x 3mm x 45mm screws and 6 3mm nuts are needed
use the two nuts on each screw to lock them in place you could use thread lock or ny-lock nuts as well.

rotate the pieces for best printing to avoid supports. the hammer print with the round depression down. I just left the strings it left. I used 50% infill for strength if you want to try less it may break easier.
Print 2 of each part that has an x2 in the name.

assembly
place the ram in the frame and place the anvil at the end i used a hammer to tap the ram into the square anvil hole. rotate the anvil so that the top piece is flush with the top of the frame where it presses against.
the throw is adjustable left the handle up and move the anvil to touch the nut press the handle into the gears then rotate the handle to crack the nut.
you have multiple holed to adjust for the size of the nut in the ram.
