Description
"Inspired by a pair of locking pliers at home, I attempted to design and 3D print my own version. As a first-time designer, I discovered that the torque and pivot points require precise calculations. However, I stuck to a trial-and-error approach, reprinting parts until the fit was right. The final result is surprisingly functional. Although the strength of PETG is limited, it works perfectly as a secondary tool for holding parts together during gluing."
