Shapeoko 2 Modular Table Vice 3"

thingiverse

Table vice for a Shapeoko 2 that has a 1-inch grid drilled into its bed, mounting points spaced 3 inches center-to-center, accommodating #6-32 screws for use in pairs with adjustable length jaws offering up to three-fourths of an inch on each jaw. The adjustable span allows over an inch total, making the 1-inch grid essential for maximum usability. The key advantage of this vice system is that it provides empty space for through cuts, allowing the blade to make contact with the material without risking damage to the bed. A significant drawback exists, however, when parts measuring less than one inch in width require a clamp with shimmed jaws due to insufficient space between the fixed points. Companion pieces available: 1-inch vice (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:478459), and V-Block (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:489254). **Instructions for printing the table vise** Recommend printing at 60% infill or higher to ensure optimal structural integrity, as recent high humidity levels have led to noticeable warping and print removal from the bed with our standard setup. Attempting alternative methods is advisable. For better performance, utilize the DIA helper discs provided (.stl) if necessary due to your environment. Apply a strip of foam tape to create an efficient work surface following print completion.
