PCB-Vise motorization
thingiverse
Because the M6 threaded rod is a real nuisance to screw in and out, I've devised a motorization solution to simplify the use of the vise, and I hope you'll appreciate it. Check out this video for more details: https://youtu.be/H1LDRPikjJ0 This motorization was designed specifically for project: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2663801 To get started, you will need a few essential components: A double pole, double throw switch to reverse the motor polarity. (Keep in mind that my button required a 20x22mm hole.) A DC motor (I used one from an old VHS with sufficient torque - diameter 26mm and 2mm shaft). A 9V battery. Some wire for connectivity. Four small screws (with a hole diameter of 2.5mm). Two M6 nuts. And a bearing (with an inside diameter of 7mm and an outside diameter of 12mm). Note: I've uploaded two STL files, one featuring my design and the other with a center hole to accommodate buttons of varying dimensions. You can find these designs at: (PCB-vise-controller-box-centered-hole-v2.stl) Special thanks go out to: The creators of the sprockets found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:172514 And the designers of the 9V battery holder, available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2144462
