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

- 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.

As a Mechanical engineer student and a 3d printer owner, this video is just clear as glass. Great Work.
I second that Lucas. I've been looking for a while for some information about maximising build strength and this covered everything relating to design strength in just 11 minutes with perfect clarity.
There are other considerations like material(s), printing temp and post processing (like epoxy or acetone vapour etc.) but this is really the entire remaining area that no-one else seems to have covered though.
Excellent! :-)
Tempering a print in the oven is another post processing trick to be aware of, although you have to plan for the shrinkage. Thomas Sanladerer touches on this in one of his strength testing vids...
May I suggest replacing the guiding hole with a protruding ball or a line? I hate places that germs can hide.
HI Christoph, This is hands down the best and most useful tutorial on mechanical design and 3D printing I have ever seen. I believe this should be a template on how to teach in every area. Kudos....
I like the modular approach taken in designing the mechanism in this tutorial -- easy to swap components, for either upgrading or repairing purposes. Thanks for sharing!
I love this video! It's great how you talk about the theory and then build an actual vice. Nice design!
Not only is this a very nice project, your piece on the strength properties of 3D-printed objects is very well done and I'm glad I found this video.
Beautiful design and very good video. I LOVE the "click" when your pieces push together!
I'm currently printing this vise out and thought I should share my experience so far. I first printed the sliding piece with the two screws. The bottom (face) of it had some layers that warped slightly. I probably could have done the first few layers at a lower temperature but with a little sanding, it'll work perfectly fine. Also had some messy parts on the screws but they were easy to clean up.
I printed the gears second and I'm amazed how well they came out. They mesh together perfectly straight off the printer. Only needed to clean up the threads very slightly.
The two halves of the base are printing now (60% so far) but they look absolutely fantastic.
That's as far as I've gotten but I don't forsee any problems in finishing a working vise.
Anyway, thanks for uploading the files to this! It's going to come in extremely handy.
That is absolutely beautiful work! This is a very useful clamp that is a real reflection of the craftsmanship you have displayed. Well done!
Fantastic! I love that you explain the thinking behind your design, instead of just showing us the design. That is the best teaching -- now, I can follow you into other domains and apply this knowledge on other projects, because you've taught me the "why" behind your design. I wish this style was common among maker videos. But, alas, it is not. Thank you for being such a wonderful outlier.
Technical, video production, voice over,... Absolutly brilliant. I am blown away and humbled. Was a pleasure to watch and obviously subscribed.
Hi Christoph,
I want you know that I am having a Snapmaker 2.0 A350 delivered Monday, and your vise is the first thing I'll print. The reason is, beyond its usefulness, you are a very intelligent, giving, and admirable person. I really appreciate what you're doing. Thank you. Best, Tim.
really great design, fantastic work! thanks for talking us through it.
Great design and excellent explanation, Christoph! Very often, the "why" is more important than the "what".. you've really nailed it :) Thanks for making the STLs openly available!!
A drawing is worth a thousand words! Nice analysis of the forces in the vice.
love the design and the thought thats gone behind it. nice work Chris.
AWESOME video. You were so thorough, it blew me away! By the end, I was thinking, "Huh. I feel like this is the best possible design for this sort of tool!" Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to explain your thoughts on designing this. Super informative!
Amazing example of designing for 3D printing
Fantastic video! Really like your style of breaking down and analyzing the problem.
All the parts in your videos are very nicely designed and thought through. Thumbs up!
This is a great explanation, and gets me jazzed to make this, and other mechanical tools this way!
I especially appreciate you showing the tests.
Great video. You are the first one i see that actually did some tests on the stability with pressure. Very nice.
Thank you so much for this video. I learned a lot from this video. Never thought about printing vertically vs horizontally.
Really good explanation not only for 3d printing but also Strength of Materials. Thank you.
A fantastic project and a very good mini class on thoughtful design.
Thanks for the excellent video.
This video made me realise why my last print had a failed clip joint.
It was a complicated LED Strip Light design in 5 parts with rotating joints and wall bracket.
The clips I designed that 'should have' slipped into place and locked, just broke as they didn't have enough strength, while the small test part I printed first worked well.
They were aligned differently during printing, so had different weak points!
Thanks for providing your vice design as well, as it will be very useful.
:)
Thank you for covering lateral loading of the bar. Great explanation and application of beam theory.
A very concise and informative video. I love it, and thank you for the design!
Outstanding work, outstanding design. I'm printing this now! I do a lot of PCB soldering, and this awesome vice is precisely what I need, I'm tired of having to use blue painters tape to tape my work to the bench to hold it steady! Great work man, subbed!
Very good tutorial. The production quality of this video is great!
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.
Great Video about the features and constraints of FDM-Printing and also an awesome Design. Thanks!
Thank you. I bought a Creality Ender 3v2 a feww days ago and it is currently making this vice for my pillar drill. It is a lovely piece of work, and should be finnished in a day or so.
Great Chris, really nice tutorial and a good explanation of how prints fail. I like your approach to the design as well, I tried to design a vice, it was OK but suffers from the twisted jaw issue and your method of using two parts for the frame is brilliant!
Wow .. kudos for a solid design and great planning process :)
Thanks so much for your work on this project, I know I'm going to be using this for a long long time! :)
Smart and beautiful design. Congratulations!
Fanastic work Christoph!
Very informative video, thanks! Great engineering advice too. Love the design!
Magnificient video, thank you from Iceland!
Thank you for this awesome design and video!
very well thought and good told video. i really enjoyed it. the coloring does make it look like a toy, but a vice like this really helpful in the shop.
Masterful. Thank you for sharing your research! This is brilliant. :-)
Absolutely brilliant tutorial ... impressed.
Very well done, nice explanation and graphics!!!
SUPERB presentation - excellent work, clearly described, generously shared; KUDOS!!!
I very much liked your explanation of the forces acting upon the print layers, and the correct way to orientate the part on the print bed. A square thread would make the rods much stronger (although probably not needed to hold a pcb)😊 Thank you for sharing
Isn't it strange, you instinctively know when someone is on the right track. I was hooked the moment the video started.
Well thought out and presented. Thanks!
This is very nice with a great explanation, well done 👍
You are a great man. All that effort designing and making, an let us download the files for free, kudos for you. Brillant design. You are the best.
This is an incredibly useful lesson. Thank you.
this is so cool.
Please upload some more videos! Your designs are fabulous
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....
this is very nice! explained like a teacher!!! lovely
Awesome work. I want to print your vise just because it's beautiful.
Exceptional tutorial, well done!
thanks for sharing it ! great explanation as well ! I'll try to print it and using it...
Thank you Christ. One of the finest tutorial on 3D printing design. And sick vise too, I'll try it asap.
Hope to see more from you - One more subcription from me :D
Great work, Christoph. Great channel too.
Great Design and Very Good video! Thanks!
Thank you for this comprehensive and educational video ... that's an example why I love online videoa !!!
Excellent design and video.
Nice design. Simple and Useful. Thanks.
wow that is a really good design I really like it. Good Job
Loved the video. Thanks for making it.
Beautiful work!
Wow! Very very nice job!! And great idea! Alles gute!
Great design!
this is amazing! thanks for sharing with us!
This is a neat and informative video.
Great video, I learned a lot! Thank you very much.
This is a very nice design!
you are genius. I watched your videos and you are using very genius technichs.
incredible ! great work , thanks !
Amazing! Thanks for models!
Thank you for this wonderful video, this is exactly what I and many others need! Could you make a video about your ideas/experience with joining two printed parts? For example with bolts or printed screws. And maybe general design of printed screws would be insightful!
Well done. One thing that I did on the screw on a bench vise that I did was to leave the center hollow so that after printing I could insert a threaded rod. One end has an embedded nut to thread into and the other I use a nylock nut. Once tightened down I can apply considerable force without damaging the printed threads.
that is awesome mate. thanks for sharing
I'm seeing this video just as I'm printing a mechanical part... and realized that the layers are in fact not orientated correctly in order to have optimal strength! Thankfully the part won't suffer any great strain, though. Thanks for the well-made tutorial!
Awesome work!
What a smart design!
Compliment! Great work and thank you
Sehr interessant - vielen Dank für das Video!
gutes video mein lieber :) super erklärt ;)
solltest sowas öfter machen !!!
Vielen Dank, ich freue mich schon auf die nächsten Videos.
Excellent taken!
Herausragende Arbeit. Weiter so!
Awesome. So much insight.
Very good information here!
awesome build.
very nice design. I am going to print this in PETG.
Very good video! Good explanations and a nicely designed vice! i am very interested in "upgrades" like annealing the base for even better layer-adhesion, jaws printed from flexible material and reinforcement with screws (even though the last might be overkill as your all-3d-printed design seems more than strong enough for the application!)
Thanks for uploading the STL-files to thingiverse :)
I agree, Christoph if you are not a Teacher please think to become it!! This is the right way for any Engineer to think and explain. Straight to important things, use a simple language so anybody can understand, don't rush, don't waste time for unimportant though, be precise as much as you can but always remember the final scope of the object you are making. PLease make more videos like this and open a school! Roberto
Glad I found this video. thanks C.
Awesome, let me share your great work!
Big like and new subscriber.
really nice video man :)
Exellent video, thank you so much!
SUPER VIDEO und danke für den Physikunterricht :)
