This is simple project with 3d printing. I found on thingiverse very well designed functional Machine vise. But it has something missed. Sticking to surface is a bit problem. Because it is vise it has to be rigid and stationary or you want to call "fixed". So I redesign the base part of vise and use some old apple peeler to make vacuum based holder. Now it can be used as a real vise :)
Supplies
- 3D Printing
- Something has vacuum holder( I used old apple peeler)
- 2 Nuts and bolts( Size is up to your own design)
Gathering Parts
