Description

After playing around with the customizable vise soft jaws here I realized that I wanted a few changes. I also wanted to get a better handle on OpenSCAD and between those two things I decided to write my own parameteric vise jaws.

This allows for custom jaw width, jaw face width, and overall wall width. You can also change the angle of the lines across the face as well as the position and size of the round stock holder. The "grip" lines cover the full face and you can specify odd wall sizes without getting gaps in the model.

There is also an option for just printing one jaw in case your printer doesn't have the space for two. If you do that you might need to fiddle around with the round stock groove to get it to line up. If you put it at 20% the first time you'll want to put it at 80% the next time and so forth. It should be reasonably straightforward.

I've included jaws for my 4.5" vise since everyone seems to publish either 4" or 5". Clearly I've purchased the oddball vise that everyone else shuns. It's ok vise, I still like you.

EDIT - Re-uploaded a new version that will properly skip the magnets if the number of magnet holes is set to zero. Thanks to VTXRider1 for finding the bug!

EDIT - Added the ability to make the round stock holder wider without making it deeper. Use the Round Stock Holder Width Scale parameter.

EDIT - Also added the ability to have multiple round stock holders. You can specify the starting location of the first one and the distance each other one is from there.

Wish there was an option to have the magnets in the front towards the face instead of the top. Also setting roundStockHolderCount to 0 does not remove it, it still generates as 1 Important to note for others; There's no built in tolerance, and the magnet holes are octagonal with the diameter entered being the measurement corner to corner. So add a bit of tolerance to the measurement to account for both it not being actually round and material shrinkage. The screenshot shows the generated octagon compared to a circle with the diameter i entered.

Very useful! Can you add an option to print smooth faces (no grip) and explain how grooves can be omitted please?

If you set roundStockHolderGrooveSize to 0 and gripSpacing to 0 it'll make the faces completely smooth.
