Machine Vise with M5 Mount Nuts

thingiverse

Thanks to TheGoofy for this vise (2064269)! I improved it a little from HeyVey's version 4614461 by splitting the center gear into two pieces since my printer had problems with the diverging cone overhang and it also broke free from the bed during print. I can now print it w/o supports and I used super glue to bond the center spline at assembly. For this center gear knob and the small extra knob, I decreased the internal hex sizes so they have a closer fit with the hex rod. Also, I increased the center and main gear teeth diameter by 4% since my first printed vise revealed a problem of skipping gear teeth even with a small vise clamping load. See the videos by TheGoofy for how he designed this and how to assemble the vise.
