3D Printed Coin Vice Blocks…

What is a 3D Printed Coin Block…

3D-Blocks or Coin Cleaning Vices, & are made from durable plastic…

Not a vice to be ashamed of, these Coin Cleaning vices help you to clean coins, for those of you that already know, coin cleaning can be fraught with many challenges, not least of all when you are cleaning coins, your hands tend to get in the way, due to the size of the coins, with gloves being the ideal choice, but when the coin size is so small and the glove partially obscures the coin, this and other factors make this impractical, you end up abandoning the gloves and using your bare hands, which in turn leaves you with fibreglass splinters, in your hands, fingers, and everywhere it shouldn’t be, also chemicals create a mess everywhere on your workstation or tray, I’m looking at these blocks as an answer not only to minimise the time spent clearing up afterwards, but making a neater job of the cleaning process, with a clear view always being of substantial benefit…

All of this because an ex-veteran was looking to make his life easier when cleaning coins, this idea stems from suffering hand cramps and finger cramps whilst cleaning his coins, and after a successful trial, these “coin vices” are now offered for sale to the hobbyist, through a Facebook page, with a great name 3-D-Tecting…

These 3D Printed Coin Blocks are printed out on a 3D Printer to hold assorted sizes of coins, the design of these clever little coin vices is not new, but caught the eye of an ex-veteran looking to make his life easier whilst cleaning his own coins, so after the purchase of a 3D-Printer, the next step was to purchase the legal right to use & print out (- as a 3-D-File -) these useful Coin Vices…

Like so many things, after a successful trial, the thought turned to printing out other useful bits and pieces, for the metal-detecting community, and before long after some research, the next step quickly turned to creating a Facebook page to pass on the hobby-related items that have printed out, which is where the birth of the 3-D-Tecting was developed, to offer these and other useful bits, to metal detectorists…

They are sold as a set of three, with sizes ranging from as small as 12mm up to 35mm, these are available in various colours and could be the perfect answer for when your clean your coins, each block has the coin size quite clearly stamped beside the respective size, & as the observant amongst you will note there are two sizes per hole thus allowing twenty-four coins sizes to be cleaned…

Each block as a set takes about twelve hours to print with various colours available, apart from my orange set there are white, fuchsia and black filaments also available, if ordering do not expect an instant delivery as your colour might not be available and you might have to wait for it to be printed, but that’s a short wait considering, what you are actually getting, as an example mine was out of stock on Wednesday it was ordered, it was printed on Thursday, then it was cleaned assembled and posted on Friday, with a very neat and tidy package arriving on Saturday morning, it was opened to reveal a very well packaged and secure coin cubes, so now, i was the proud owner of a set of coin cleaning blocks, and the first thing i did was to see if a rather battered saxon sceat which was more oval than round could be held in place, and i was not disappointed, by design or dint one of the blocks has oval shaped seats in preference to the standard round…

I think my orange one is the best, as i can see the condition of the coin, as it’s being cleaned, and it contrasts better with the colours of the coins, also there must be another use for them, but as yet i haven’t found it yet…
