3D Printed Vise V-Block
This v-block is 3D printed out of highly durable PETG-CF (carbon-fiber infused PETG). Designed with band instrument repair in mind, this offers a reliable and cost-effective alternative to the class all-metal versions that are no longer made.
Built to replicate the trusted design many repair technicians are already familiar with, this v-block features two sets of angled cutouts that allow you to secure dent rods and other tools at different angles for better working positions. The four integrated magnets hold the block firmly to the vise jaws, enabling quick tool changes while preventing the block from slipping or dropping -- a small but important safety feature in a busy repair shop.
Though 3D printed in durable PETG-CF, these blocks have been extensively tested through a full season of repair work. They may show some minor surface scarring or slight deformation in the angled slots, but they have proven to be tough, functional, and free from cracking or breaking under regular shop use.
If you're looking for a practical, budget-friendly replacement for the tried and true metal v-blocks, this version is a dependable solution that will integrate seamlessly into your workflow.
