This is a fully printable, self centering, table mountable, vise. As you rotate the screw, the 2 jaws move at the same rate. The lead screw can be rotated from either side with a 5mm Allen wrench (5mm hex). The screw and jaws should be printed out of PETG for strength and the lead screw is 100% infill. There are supports for the lead screw to make sure it doesn't tip during printing. Don't forget to use glue for extra bed adhesion! The base of the vise needs support for the guide plates, I recommend using the PLA interface material so it can be as precise as possible. Assembly requires the following hardware:3mm Flat Head Screw x 8mm long - Quantity of 103mm Flat Head Screw x 12mm long - Quantity of 44mm Cup Point Set Screw x 4mm long - Quantity of 1There is a left hand thread and a right hand thread on the lead screw, thread the corresponding jaw on to the correct thread and make sure each jaw is the same distance from center before you do the rest of the assembly.
