Vise end for Fuller Vise Clamp

prusaprinters

I broke the end of my Fuller 2.5x6-in speed clamp with my Herculean strength…  I thought, about just tossing the clamp the then it occured to me that this would present a nice challenge for a 3D design as it would not be an easy design.Trying to figure out forces, shear strength (at layer lines), material strengths…  after 5 successively better attempts to make this clamp end, I can say this one is better than the one that originally came from the store.you will need two M5x25mm bolts and a couple of nuts.  If you want to use locking M5 nuts, you will likely need to lengthen the screws.I was able to reuse the padding on the clamp and one of the nuts, but I had to source the bolts and nuts (from my spares drawer), you may want to use washers as well.The pictured item was printed in ABS filament.5 walls, 5 top and bottom layers with 55% infill (Magic 5 settings :) I may also give a tuff PLA or CF filled filament a try in future.If you make this, and if it is not too much trouble, please leave me some feedback, details and a picture of  your makeCheers,Dan
