Printable Hand Vise

thingiverse

When working with compact models, my fingers often feel too clumsy. So I created a fully printable hand vise that fits perfectly in my grasp. Print everything in PLA with a layer height of 0.2mm or finer for optimal results. Supports are not required, and the thread is conveniently located near M12, making it easy to use right out of the printer. To ensure smooth operation, lubricating the thread is recommended - I prefer candle wax for this purpose. If desired, you can re-cut the thread with an M12 tap, but this should be unnecessary. For the hinges, I designed hinge rivets that make installation a breeze. To attach the claws, simply insert them and the hinge rivets, heat up a screwdriver, and press it onto the small end of the rivet. The rivet will melt securely into place.
