I couldn't find it here, so I'm resharing it. The original designer is TheGoofy, and full credit goes to them for their incredible work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have been using it for the past few years and it works flawlessly. You can't overtighten this vise and break it that way. The gears will skip before that happens but only when quite a bit of force is applied. Since it has two screws, it applies two points of pressure and you can firmly hold items at just the edge. Additionally, since each gear is independent of the other it will self-regulate the force applied at each screw and conform a bit to the item you are holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBesides the handle that I made longer and thus easier to use, it is the same vise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eassembly\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e please check the original designer's video below. He goes into the mechanics of the vise and force analysis in detail. As a mechanical engineer, I always like it when a mechanism has been thoroughly thought through and all the forces considered. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the clips will hold, I do recommend glueing the two base halves together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfigure class=\"media\"\u003e\u003coembed url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mziT7KV-fRI\u0026amp;feature=youtu.be\"\u003e\u003c\/oembed\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\u003cp\u003eI recommend printing the base and clips in \u003cstrong\u003ePLA \u003c\/strong\u003eas it is rigid and the rest in \u003cstrong\u003ePETG or ASA\/ABS\u003c\/strong\u003e.
