Design Hints for 3d printed mechanical Objects: How to create a Machine Vise
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- 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.
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!
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 love this video! It's great how you talk about the theory and then build an actual vice. Nice design!
Beautiful design and very good video. I LOVE the "click" when your pieces push together!
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.
That is absolutely beautiful work! This is a very useful clamp that is a real reflection of the craftsmanship you have displayed. Well done!
A drawing is worth a thousand words! Nice analysis of the forces in the vice.
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.
Amazing example of designing for 3D printing
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.
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.
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!!
really great design, fantastic work! thanks for talking us through it.
love the design and the thought thats gone behind it. nice work Chris.
Great video. You are the first one i see that actually did some tests on the stability with pressure. Very nice.
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.
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!
All the parts in your videos are very nicely designed and thought through. Thumbs up!
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to explain your thoughts on designing this. Super informative!
Fanastic work Christoph!
Fantastic video! Really like your style of breaking down and analyzing the problem.
A fantastic project and a very good mini class on thoughtful design.
Really good explanation not only for 3d printing but also Strength of Materials. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. I learned a lot from this video. Never thought about printing vertically vs horizontally.
this is so cool.
Thank you for covering lateral loading of the bar. Great explanation and application of beam theory.
Very good tutorial. The production quality of this video is great!
Great Video about the features and constraints of FDM-Printing and also an awesome Design. Thanks!
Great design!
Smart and beautiful design. Congratulations!
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.
:)
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!
Magnificient video, thank you from Iceland!
Wow .. kudos for a solid design and great planning process :)
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.
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!
Thanks so much for your work on this project, I know I'm going to be using this for a long long time! :)
Thank you for this awesome design and video!
Well thought out and presented. Thanks!
Very well done, nice explanation and graphics!!!
SUPERB presentation - excellent work, clearly described, generously shared; KUDOS!!!
Masterful. Thank you for sharing your research! This is brilliant. :-)
Very informative video, thanks! Great engineering advice too. Love the design!
Absolutely brilliant tutorial ... impressed.
This is very nice with a great explanation, well done 👍
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
Excellent design and video.
Great work, Christoph. Great channel too.
Isn't it strange, you instinctively know when someone is on the right track. I was hooked the moment the video started.
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....
thanks for sharing it ! great explanation as well ! I'll try to print it and using it...
Great Design and Very Good video! Thanks!
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.
Exceptional tutorial, well done!
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.
This is an incredibly useful lesson. Thank you.
this is very nice! explained like a teacher!!! lovely
Spruce Wood (Not printed)
Awesome work. I want to print your vise just because it's beautiful.
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
Nice design. Simple and Useful. Thanks.
incredible ! great work , thanks !
Wow! Very very nice job!! And great idea! Alles gute!
Beautiful work!
Thank you for this comprehensive and educational video ... that's an example why I love online videoa !!!
wow that is a really good design I really like it. Good Job
Loved the video. Thanks for making it.
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.
This is a very nice design!
Amazing! Thanks for models!
Awesome. So much insight.
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!
this is amazing! thanks for sharing with us!
Great video, I learned a lot! Thank you very much.
Wow great design
This is a neat and informative video.
awesome build.
What a smart design!
More videos like this please!! Thank you for this excellent walkthrough. I just started working for a 3D printing shop and often run into technical issues on the best way to design and print mechanical objects.
I see in the comments that you've addressed questions about tolerances. Is there a method you've used to test tolerances in different settings and materials? Also, how did you determine what dimensions to design the threads and gears with? Thanks!
that is awesome mate. thanks for sharing
very nice design. I am going to print this in PETG.
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!
Excellent taken!
Awesome work!
Thank you! Good design
gutes video mein lieber :) super erklärt ;)
solltest sowas öfter machen !!!
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 :)
you are genius. I watched your videos and you are using very genius technichs.
Herausragende Arbeit. Weiter so!
Compliment! Great work and thank you
Nice Work.
Thank you very much for this information!
I managed to explode your vise with some of my abusive use, and god damn it went out with a bang :P
Surprisingly it was one of the base halves that went first - It was just torn apart right across the middle section, where it should be really strong.
I imagine there was quite a lot of force involved in this failure, but I'm very surprised the screws didn't fail first.
Vielen Dank, ich freue mich schon auf die nächsten Videos.
Great Video, thank you. It would be great to see how you build the device in Fusion360.
