Pliers Soft Grip

Last crawled date: 2 years, 9 months ago

As many people do, I tighten or loosen objects with pliers. There are times when I don't want the object to show marks from the pliers grip or "teeth". To soften the pliers grip, I have custom designed removal soft grips that fit over the pliers jaws.

I understand that you can buy pliers with soft grips fitted to the jaw. Here is a way to add that functionality to an existing pair of pliers.

The pliers grip needs to be flex and be soft, so I chose and recommend to print the grip in TPU filament, or similar.

My print is made in TPU 1.75mm Aurarum black filament, with 0.2mm layer height and 100% infill on a PRUSA I3 MK3S printer. No printing rafts nor supports required.

I hope you can find this print useful, too.

Remember to leave me some feedback or even a tip to keep me enthused to make more of these drawings.
