Channel lock pliers I modified for compression fittings

thingiverse

Just a quick and dirty modification to jsteuben's 'Adjustable Groove-Joint Pliers'. I made the arms a bit thicker, a hole for an m4 screw and made it so the jaws will grip onto rounded objects better. The clearances are fairly tight so mind your slicer settings and make sure everything is tuned or these pliers won't work. I made it for m4x14 screws with nuts, you may need a soldering iron to push in the nut, and you may need to drill the hole slightly bigger depending on your printer/slicer/settings/filament quality. Also I made a bridge to support the hole for the m4 screw, it is .2mm, I may remove the bridge and the provision for an m4 nut and make the hole a bit smaller so you can just thread an m4 nut into the hole rather than using a nut. Specifically made for Bitspower 1/2 ID 3/4 OD compression fittings doesn't need to be super strong, I just needed something to get into tight spots and not scratch the fittings, plus they tend to be hard on your fingers after you have tightened a dozen or so of them. I made a version with the original scaling (35mm) and a scaled down version(26mm) specifically for my compression fittings.
