Design Hints for 3d printed mechanical Objects: How to create a Machine Vise



This is a quite robust 3d-printable machine vise. It's 100% 3d-printed (no hardware needed). In this video I'm exploring properties of 3d-printed material. I'm also telling how the design of the vise was developed, how it is printed and assembled. STL-Files: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2064269 Designed with Fusion 360: http://a360.co/2juhSUG

  1. Are you using pla or abs?
  2. Hi ! it's pretty cool !
    What software do you use for modeling ?

    Thank you for reply :)
  3. This is the most functional vise I ever seen on thingiverse, and so far the only robust one. The explanation is very clear. Can't understand what are those thumbs down....if don't understand the mechanics..don't vote....
  4. so german
  5. Compliment! Great work and thank you
  6. Wonderful video by the way! I'm REALLY looking forward to have a 3D printer... Do you recommend the PRUSA? Is it better, worse or same quality as this one? (In terms of printing quality)
  7. Oh wait, you are from Switzerland... oh well, close enough. Neighbors basically
  8. das ist gut, ja

    jk, nice video, my gf is german from berlin so no worries, we do this type of jokes every time haha
  9. thanks for sharing it ! great explanation as well ! I'll try to print it and using it...
  10. this video is great !
  11. Great video. You are the first one i see that actually did some tests on the stability with pressure. Very nice.
  12. Awesome video but if you want to increase the strength of those gears increase the length of the teeth in the Z axis with about a 60° draft. Most printers can do 60° overhang with ease. Check out Thomas Sanladerer video series #Filaween. He does tests over different materials and manufactures to gauge strength and deformation and shows the print quality of overhangs. The type and brand of material makes a huge difference in strength.

    Also I'm a greensand pattern maker that designs tooling for aluminum casting. I'll be doing videos on how to turn 3D prints into metal on my channel if that's your thing. My Prusa I3 Mk2 is 6 weeks out. Nice video
  13. awesome !!! which 3d printer do you use ?
  14. Very very nice, thank you.
  15. freekin cool...nice build!
  16. Awesome work!
  17. You are right - he is amazing. You can also see his work here: http://www.makesea.com/web/claimer
  18. finde schwizer wo englisch rede immer so mega geil has nid gmau gwüst ka aber meh merkz mega :) wa hesch de für e printer weni frage darf
  19. absolutely fantastic video. I've been looking for means of securing 3D printed parts together and hadn't thought of cliips. I've resorted to using dowel pins and screws.
  20. SUPERB presentation - excellent work, clearly described, generously shared; KUDOS!!!
