Needed a desk holder/stand for my HoldPeak HP-990 tweezer multimeter when using plugged external wires and came across this lovely model. Maybe someone out there who has the same multimeter will find it useful as well as the other new features.

All changes:

  1. Increased the hight of the jaws.
  2. Added a 2mm groove for PCB's on the jaws.
  3. “Flattened” the top of the threads for a more reliable print.
  4. Added 4xM3 holes for better mounting versatility.
  5. Changed the round turn handle to an elongated hex knob for better grip.    

I've used the two M3 holes for mounting standoff screws for there to be a better viewing angle when having the multimeter on rather than printing a dedicated stand.  

Printed this with a 2 wall setting, 0.2mm layer height, and 10% infill using eSUN Matt Black PLA+ after doing a fresh calibration of the 3D printer. The vise works smoothly although the side brackets are bit fragile.

Thanks to Adam Cook's for sharing the 3D Step file of this amazing model, I would have to remix a different clamp if it wasn't for that.
