Great design. It may be two years late, but it's now my Thing of the Week on 3DGeni.us - read why I like it here:

Mine snapped as well, but I was planning on beefing this thing up just a bit anyway. I have plenty of ABS glue. I also added a bolt+nut+washers around the center shaft to make them killer good. Thanks to the already sturdy design, they are quite useful!

I printed them, but the center clip snapped when I was trying to clip the two parts together. I'll give it another try.

Very cool design!

I can't get the right plier to lay flat on the platform. Even tried making a new STL from the SoldWorks file.

The enemy always seems to be me, but can someone help?

thanx . . . syl

Rotate the pliers so they go across the build platform from left to right if you want a decent bottom fill. Skeinforge will make lots of short fill movements rather than trying to do a long one that goes down the handles of the pliers.

Scaled and rotated in ReplicatorG, printed beautifully.

thanks for the solidworks files!!!

The STL file is tiny when you open it up. I had to scale it up 18x to make it reasonable to print.
