That Lazy Machinist V Block!

thingiverse

One of the things I've been eager to share for a while is the connection between classical machining and 3D printing, as they essentially do the same thing. Where CNC or classical machining is subtractive and 3D printing is additive, the workflows are still the same from CAD (Computer Aided Design) to CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture) and right through production. With this in mind, I stumbled upon That Lazy Machinist (check out more here: http://www.thatlazymachinist.com/) who made a series of blueprints available online (see more here: http://diy3dtech.com/thatlazymachinistblueprints to download them) so I decided to convert them to 3D prints to demonstrate the interrelations between these disciplines. So for my second project (the first being the Bench Block https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3398103), I chose the V-Block. I used Fusion 360 to design this block assembly and printed PLA (see more here:https://amzn.to/2SXcIzU), however, I would recommend PETG (see more here: https://amzn.to/2VRKxo1) for increased durability. I also utilized nylon thumb bolts (see below for list) to secure the two together.
