I created this for a project to eliminate needing to purchase and use multiple socket adapters. My use for this was to attach a low scale inch pound torque wrench with 1/4" square drive to a large socket needed for a yoke nut. This will allow me to set bearing preload (less than 10 in/lbs) with a more convienent tool setup than a stack of adapters. I stress tested one, it stripped the 1/4" square hole at 50 in/lbs. Definately not for use with any solid torque. For setting resistance of a moving part, it should be adequate. Instructions I used: ABS 100% infill .20mm layer height Active cooling fan on part entire build. No raft No support STL is in inches, will need to be re-scaled. You may have to adjust scale slightly depending on accuracy of your printer.
