Parallel Jaw Pliers #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Parallel jaw pliers: open the handles and the jaws move apart while the gripping surfaces remain parallel to each other.
Print two jaws and one each of handle A and B. Print the parts in the orientation shown. You may want to use support for the counter-bored holes on the handles.
You will also need one M3x8mm socket head screw for the central pivot, and four M3x6mm socket head screws to attach the jaws to the handles. Each screw is a clearance fit on one part and self-taps into the other.
I printed the jaws in black PETG and the handles in orange PLA, both from AMZ3D.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
