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.

    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!

  • @usafa1987
    @usafa1987 3 роки тому +1

    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.

    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.

  • @davidl6599
    @davidl6599 6 років тому

    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.
    :)

    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!

    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

    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!

  • @cdl1701
    @cdl1701 7 років тому

    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.

    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 :)

  • @RobyGladio

    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
