While the original Ball vise is fine for those with a selection of hardware on hand, that's not me. So instead of buying a bunch of bolts and such, I modified the files so everything can be printed, except, of course, the silicon tubing. 

I filled mine with plaster of Paris and some steel ball bearings for weight. 

I also wanted a printable turntable/lazy susan, so I made one that fits on the top of the Ball Vise. Find it here: https://www.printables.com/model/836707-lockable-lazy-susanturntable-with-plates-for-mount

The turntable uses many parts from the Bench Mountable Vise but is also compatible with the original vises and tools from the Open Ball Vise.

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Same dimensions and detals as the original Open Ball Vise but edited to merge some parts and replace others so no metal fasteners are needed.
