Basic vise used for clamping pcbs while soldering is versatile and can be employed in various other applications as well. A threaded rod should be 3D printed upright with the knob positioned at the bottom to ensure proper functionality. The SLED component should be printed with a tapped hole installed upright on the shorter side of the part. The frame element can be printed without any modifications, utilizing the support structure generated by the printer software. However, holes and clip slots must be carefully drilled out and sanded after the printing process is complete to achieve the desired smoothness. For optimal results when printing with PLA material on a Kossel delta 3D printer, consider using the following settings: A nozzle diameter of 0.2mm A layer height of 0.1mm A shell thickness of 1mm An infill percentage of 35% A print speed of 20mm/s A temperature setting of 197°C A flow rate of 95% It is essential to retap the threads after printing if lower settings are used, as this will ensure proper thread engagement and prevent any potential issues.
