The file 'Mini Vise 3D Printer Model' is (3mf,stl) file type, size is 12.0MB.
**
How this came to be:**
I printed the "Nano Vise V2", despite being super cute, I was hoping to use it for some soldering jobs but turns out, Nano really means nano uh? Not even the esp8266 I had to solder to fit in the clamp so I did what any sane person would do, instead of using one of the plenty pcb holders you can find online I completely redesigned the nano clamp from scratch because I am not touching an stl file with a ten foot pole (seriously people include solid models, and at least use 3mf file if you really need to use a mesh file).
Print tips:
The screws aren't under a lot of stress as they are designed with a lot of tollerances, but I would still print them at an high density, I printed mines at 100% because the time increase was not that significant.
The rest of the print is fairly easy, I printed it with 15% infill and 3 walls
Everything should take you less than 9 hours the screws taking up most of that time, I would print them on their own so you don't waste your whole bed is one happens to fail, they should take 5ish hours on their own.
If you use cura (or any other slicer but I wouldn't know how the features are called) use a reduced overhanging wall speed, I am running at 60% at a 30° overhanging wall angle. This greatly improves threads quality
Some details if you need to tweek the design and don't want to download the whole file:
Both screws are Iso Metric Trapezoidal Thread TR12x3, they have a significant slack, I put a 0.2mm offset on the crest, roots and flanks of the thread.
Main body and the table clamp have the same offset applied to the thread
0.4mm sounds like a lot of tollerances, but remember you will be printing the main body thread and table clamp vertically
The ball join has a M14x2 thread with a 0.4 offest on the crest, roots and flanks of the thread.
I only applied the offset on the ball and not on the main body in the remote possibility you might want to screw and actual screw there.
The ball holder has a m22x3 thread with a 0.4 offset, the thread on the table clamp has none
Credit
The ball joint derives from this model, the ball holder is redesigned to allow some tollerance on the thread
The idea comes from this model but I ended up designing it from the ground up as you might have noticed my hate for stl-s in the introduction

Then enter your email address, Autodesk will send you a download link on the email with the file you requested
The link stays the same but every time you open it it will be the latest version, as of right now I am happy with the design, unless someone points out something is wrong it will stay as is
And ehy, I have one of these, might as well put it here
