MAJOR UPDATE: Long reach Pliers V3
This update makes the pliers print more easy then ever! No more fettling... However you now need a small M3 countersunk bolt and a normal or nylock nut.

Game with these forceps:

updates:

Better tolerances (just slides together)
Turned the V-grove upside down.
More material around the hinge for the jaw
one sided scissor hinge
MINOR UPDATE: Long reach Pliers V3.1
This update only changes the top slider. It was extended slightly to increase clamping for thin items.

Print instructions

Infill
I printed with 20% infill. The only part that needs 100% infill is the moving handle (with cam) up past the hinge hole. (I had the cam snap off on one of the pliers.)

Supports
I used the option to add support material on buildplate only. This should ensure that the holes stay open

Orientation
The models are not correctly oriented for printing.

Best Orientation of the top part for printing is to have the v-grove pointing up

Best orientation for the base is flat on it’s side with the logo pointing up

Best orientation for the jaw is with the cam and teeth pointing up

Best orientation for the separate handle is flat on its side, with the little cam pointing up. The other way around would require a lot of extra support material.

All the parts should fit on a 200x200mm printbed.
