Miniature vise - M4 threaded feet

If you are looking for the complete miniature vise, you are welcome to pick it up here: https://www.printables.com/model/53471

When I had originally released the vise, I was not so profound with printed threads. Therefore the feet for the vise required thread-cutting after printing. I figured now that printing a M4 thread is no problem at all, with a good printer and a 0.1mm layer height. So here is the upgrade for the feet to save you from the hassle of cutting a thread into these tiny parts.

Alternative usage

Feel free to do whatever you want with this part or remix it to any other crazy application.

Printing

Printing these parts is very simple. Just print 4 of them at the same time (to give the top layer time to cool down before the next layer is added). I recommend 4 perimeters, which results in a solid infill, no matter what infill you chose. If you are patient enough to go for a 0.1mm layer height, you will be rewarded with a very nice M4 thread that does not even need a wear-in.

Assembly

To assemble the feet to the miniature vise, you need 4 screws M4x10. They should go into the feed without troubles and can be tightened surprisingly strong, considering that the thread depth of a M4 thread is only 0.5mm. (Don't overdo it though.)

I recommend to glue some adhesive rubber feed on the bottom side of the feet, that gives the vise a very good hold on your table top. With 25g of adhesive weights on the bottom plate of the vise, it works even better.
