The RDA Gripper V3

thingiverse

This device simulates a pair of pliers, vice grips, etc. used specifically for the removal of 22mm RDA's, Tanks, RTA's and the like from a device they might be stuck on. Simply put it takes the hassle and destructive behavior of a pair of pliers out of the equation (rips, burs, dents, creases), if something is stuck on your mod. Use is pretty intuitive, Put your pointer finger in the ring hole, then your thumb on the round edge opposite the ring hole then place the open hole over an RDA near the base, squeeze the two sides together and rotate in the direction to loosen it and the RDA or tank or whatever should come off fairly easily. NOTE The original pictures taken are of Version 1, please see the models for the current versions Update: V2 - Finger handle upgraded with a beefier stem increasing load tolerance V3 - Entire structure was made beefier, Vertek Logo added, thickness increased 1mm V3 Smooth - Version simply with smooth edges to make it more comfortable in the hand No Printer?

Use ABS instead of PLA if your going to use one of these all the time, ABS has much more flex giving you the ability to really crank if the RDA is rust locked. Print time at those setting is usually about 30-37 Minutes.
