Very simple PCB vise

thingiverse

The vise consists only from 3 different 3D printed parts and 2 M6 threaded rods with 6 nuts – it is very easy to make one. Four of the six nuts have additionally printed knobs that tightly fit on them. The vise has V-shaped grooves compatible with PCB,s up to 2.5 mm thick. PCB can be mounted in 4 planes (tilted, vertical, horizontal). In addition, there are holes for cylindrical neodymium magnets 10 x 4 mm at the bottom – also for “press-fit”. This vise was designed in that way to be relatively easy to print on a 3D printer. It is quite small – only 75 mm in width and 32 mm in height so it doesn’t take much valuable space in your workshop. You need to print: 1x PCB_holder_-_jaw.stl 1x PCB_holder_-_jaw_base.stl 4x PCB_holder_-_thumb_screw.stl Recommended printing settings: Layer height: 0.2 mm Printing speed: 40-60 mm/s Filament: ABS/ASA Infill: Honeycomb 30% or more Outlines: 2 or more Top/Bottom 100% layers: 3 or more Support: Yes - Inside the nut pockets Nozzle: 0.4 mm Description of this project on my web page: https://bytechlab.com/2018/02/very-simple-pcb-vise/ Some images and renders:
