Introduction: Pin Vice/Drill With Storage
A small manual hand tool for twist drilling requiring precision or when used on delicate parts.
I previously made a pin vice/drill which was a combination of 3D printing and nuts and threaded rod which worked well.
However, the additional hardware may have reduced its wider appeal particularly the additional requirement for hardware that may not be conveniently to hand.
As a result I have produced a design that is 100% 3D printed requiring no additional hardware although it will require assembly.
The default chuck will accomodate drill sizes to ~1.5 mm and the handle doubles as storage with an internal length of 75mm.
Size: 130(L) x 23(H) x 20.1(W) mm
Weight: 29g
Supplies
3D Printer Filament PLA Brown or any filament that suits personal choice.
Tools
3D Printer
Needle files
Sanding paper
Craft knife
Plastic Adhesive
Step 1: CAD Design
The model was designed using TinkerCAD 3D and consists of five parts.
1) Handle 89.7(L) x 22.6(H) x 19.7(W) mm
2) Chuck Head 27(L) x 23(W) x 20.1(D) mm
3) Collet 28(L) x 14.1(dia max) mm
4) Shank 33.1(L) x 15.85(dia) mm
5) Storage handle cap 20.1(L) x 22(dia) mm

Step 2: Printing
The parts were sliced using Cura 4.5.0 and printed on a Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro.
Filament: PLA (Brown), but any colour as suits personal choice.
Layer Height: 0.15mm
Infill: 100%
Bed Adhesion: Raft
No supports
All parts are correctly orientated within the files for printing directly.
All the parts with the exception of the handle are printed vertically.
The handle if orientated vertically would have a small contact area on the bed which would become more unstable due to bed movement and nozzle drag the taller it became.
Step 3: Post Processing
Some post processing may be required to remove aberrations in the cavities and around the edges.
This can be accomplished using sanding paper & needle files.
Step 4: Fitting the Shank
This is the only step that requires adhesive.
The shank fits into one end of the handle.
Identify the end with the shallow cavity (13mm depth).
Apply a little adhesive into the cavity and insert the shank and allow the adhesive to set before use.
Step 5: Assembly
Push the collet with the non splined end inserted into the open end of the shank.
Fit the chuck head over the collet and screw onto the shank
Screw the cap onto the end of the handle.
Step 6: Operation
Turn the chuck head to loosen the grip on the collet.
Select a suitable drill bit and insert the shank of the drill bit into the collet.
Retighten the chuck head to hold the drill bit in place.
The drill storage compartment can be accessed by removing the screw cap at the end of the handle.
You can now use the pin vice/drill on your next project particularly on delicate areas were the slip of a powered drill could ruin your hard work.
Step 7: The End
That's all for now
