Tough Pliers

thingiverse

This is a modified version of Jap's High Quality Nose Pliers, designed for light duty use with fragile materials like plastic or wood in mind. I made several improvements to the original design, including shrinking the snap slightly for a better fit, increasing the size of the central joint, and adding a truss structure to the handles for added strength. Additionally, the jaws have been braced and given a wider gripping area for larger objects. While not as tough as steel pliers, these modifications should enhance their performance for delicate tasks. The model can be scaled using Tinkercad or Blender and printed at 150% on an Afinia printer. Check out the modified design here: https://tinkercad.com/things/liwmEolxJyJ-workspace/edit
