Nano Vise

That's a really cool device that was created by HyMech, but I wanted to make it even more compact and downsized. To do this, I reduced the file size significantly. After scaling down the jaw depth, I realized it wasn't deep enough for my taste, so I made some modifications to give it a 5mm jaw-depth. As the screw itself shrunk in size, I didn't need a handle anymore since there was no need for heavy clamping force on such small parts. I took Johann517's helpful G-Clamp and just used its knurled knob, attaching it directly to the screw – and it fit perfectly! Another modification I made was adding slightly larger slots on both sides. The maximum clamping width is approximately 20mm. Here are my print settings: * Printer: Rapide Lite 200 * Supports: Doesn't matter * Resolution: 0.1mm Some notes to keep in mind: For the base and slider, I used a 15-20% infill with two shells at a slow print speed. The screw itself had a 100% infill with two shells at a slow print speed. Depending on how you position the part on the bed, some support might be necessary during printing. Here's a picture of the knurled screw in mid-print.
