Fractal Vice Version 2

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

New improved version here - https://grabcad.com/library/fractal-vice-version-4-1

This is (should be) an improved version over the earlier one. Instead of the dovetail connections between the pieces I've drawn it with simple 90° & flat surfaces that'll print more cleanly & the supports will (should) also be removed easier.
To give enough space to make it all fit together I've made the sliding connections between the pieces stick proud of the outer radius of the semicircular parts. It's not as tidy as doing it with the dovetail sliding connections draw inverse to that, but it'll work better on a 3D printer.

On the mounting bracket I've added a couple of 10 mm holes in case anyone actually builds one and wants to bolt it down onto a bench. I will be drawing a sliding frame that'll finish off making it into a complete & otherwise conventional vice. That'll happen hopefully soon.

I've included the Solidworks files in case you want to modify any parts. They're reasonably neat, but I didn't bother labelling every action in each part sorry.

As per the previous version, if you want a real metal one, please buy one from the link below.
