Hex Bit Handle with M5-Nut for Strength

thingiverse

The handle of a cheap screwdriver split and with the hex bits still around I designed this compact handle. Includes 2 modes of usage, a magnet and Nuts for robustness. It has 2 positions for the hex bits: - In the thin end. For use like a screwdriver and only light jobs. - Between M5 Nuts in the upper part. For use like a wrench and with more force. ###Metal Inserts: The second position uses a **magnet** to hold the bit in place. The **M5 nuts** surround the bit and negate wear and tear of the plastic part. The metal parts are inserted mid print when the print pauses after a layer change. The example gcodes use **M601, M600 or M0** which did the trick for me (Marlin firmware). ###Dimensions: Fits a ~quarter inch hex bit (~6.35mm) There are 2 stl files depending on how well your printer is tuned in: - Small tolerance: 6.56 mm for both hex slots - Large tolerance: 7.2 mm for hex slot printed flat, 8.2 mm for hex slot printed standing Feel free to comment if you need a different bit size.
