Minature vice upgrade: moving block with tighter fit

prusaprinters

<p>This part is an upgrade to my popular miniature vice system, which can be used as stand-alone part (e.g. as third hand for soldering work) and with the also available table clamp.</p> <p>Please note that this upgrade was intended for the first version of the miniature vice, which can be found here:<br/> <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/50151">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/50151</a></p> <p>If you have not printed the vice yet, I recommend to go for the new version right away, which features a reworked moving block anyway, which gives much more consistent print results. You can find it here: <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/53471">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/53471</a></p> <p>Now this part is an optional upgrade, for those that want a tight fit of the moving block with a bit of friction, so that it does not move by itself when the main screw is not tightened. Frankly, I personally prefer parts that are rather slightly too loose, rather than facing the risk that I need to sand it down for a perfect fit. But I understand the request in the comments, so here it is, a moving block that still slides ok on the dove tail rail, but with a bit of friction.</p> <p>Happy printing everyone! Enjoy the little vice for your hobby projects while you try to kill some time during the lock-down. Stay safe and take care for yourself and for others!</p>
