This miniature vice with remarkable strength and modular mounting system is made for those of us, that want to do a little hobbyist work on our clean desks. It does not have any sharp edges, so the risk to scratch furniture is minimal.

UPDATE 24.01.2021: There is now a version 2.0 of this very popular design. It is much easier to assemble, as it does not require thread cutting. Additionally all parts have been carefully optimized further, to make them fit even better together and eliminate the need for sanding or other post-print tuning on them. Click here to get the new version 2.0: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/53471

For those that want to stick to version 1.0 for whatever reason, it is still available at the link shown below.

If you are looking for a tough vice for the rough work in your basement, this is not for you. Just go on Amazon or Ebay and get a metal vice and then bolt it down securely on your workbench.

The specs for this little guy are:

40mm jaw opening 20mm jaw width throat depth 12mm Thanks to a metal screw (M6x60) and an M6 metal nut as inlay, it is possible to achieve a significant clamping force, definitely enough for model builders to hold a little wooden strip to saw it down, to file into form or for holding a little electronics boards for soldering.

All parts are available for free download at my main publishing page at prusaprinters.org. The parts that are for download here on Thingiverse, are only the hand-knob parts for the main screw.

All other parts are available in .stl and .3mf format here: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/50151-modular-miniature-vice

If you like this part, please share a photo with the rest of all. It would be great to see your application and how you use it.

Take care everyone, protect yourself and others until we have this pandemic behind us!
