Small Drill Press vice

thingiverse

This is a small machine mice that I made to use in my workshop. Its only light duty, mainly so I can hold work whilst I drill it, and possible glue parts together. Print Settings Printer: Mini Kossel Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 10% on main body, 20% on handle Post-Printing Assembly You will need a short length of 8mm studding. Glue a nut into the machine vice body. Run the legth of studding through the (now captive) nut and add another nut at the end - dont forget to put the plate on before the next step!. You need to make the nut not turn, so either glue it to the end, or "distress" the thread so that it binds when you try to remove it. I used a couple of small wood screws to hold the plate which also traps the end nut. I managed to get the handle to be an interference fit on the rod, but you may need to use a bit of glue to help.
