This multi-jaw vise consists of a base plate and 3 or 4 rack & worm jaw units. Pins in the bottom of each rack slip into keyhole slots in the base for quick reconfiguration. Each jaw slides onto grooves in the rack, trapping a worm/knob between the jaw and the rack teeth. Rotating the worm/knob pushes the jaw along the rack.The pins in the bottom of the rack are arranged asymmetrically, and the jaw/worm can be assembled pointing in either direction. Flipping the rack one way will allow the jaw tips to touch for holding very small parts. Flipping the racks around will allow you to hold larger parts. (As shown in the 2nd and 3rd photos.)PrintingAll parts are printed in PLA and without supports. I would recommend PLA over other filaments as it is harder and stiffer, and less likely to deform under loads. After printing work all of the mating parts together until they slide smoothly. I used 0.2mm layers for my prints, but a finer layer height may reduce the amount of "breaking-in".Assembly
