This is a fully functional set of pliers that prints in only one piece. They work pretty well and cannot be disassembled unless they are broken.
One cool thing about the design is that it used only 10 boolean operations to make the entire model.
I was going through a box of old prints and I came across a pair of pliers. It was one of my first prints, and it didn't work very well. It was not the design, just my settings at the time. Nevertheless, rather than printing a new pair of the same pliers I decided to revamp them by making them print in place. It's more of a novelty than anything useful, but it was a fun design challenge :) I was inspired by the printed pliers (designed by russrobot) and all of emmett's print in place designs.
