Customizable V-Block

Customizable V-Block for holding cylindrical parts. I designed this assembly using OpenSCAD as I wanted to try making parametric assemblies.

Disclaimer: Do not use this part for heavy machining. There's a reason these are made out of steel!

EDIT: I have now added an option called clampAngle. This will allow you to specify the angle of the clamping nut and bolt. By specifying clampAngle = 0 this will allow you to clamp round stock. Specifying clampAngle = 45 will allow for clamping of rectangular materials.

Using the customizer app you can easily change the dimensions of the v-block, the clamp to hold parts and adjust the nut and bolt used to clamp your parts.

For this model I used a 5/16-18UNC bolt and nut for the V-Block Clamp. The bolt that I used is 50mm long. Initially only 25mm of the bolt was threaded so I used a 5/16-18 die to thread the entire bolt shank.

Below are the dimensions used to create the show parts:
