Parametric Spanner Holder (Imperial and Metric)

thingiverse

Not Had Chance to print yet but will print. More a remake form the ground up but sharing Similar sizing. I was asked for an Imperial version, but after making lots of individual metric I decided to get into this Parametric lark. Best thing ever. I wanted to change this one to be able to print the numbering a different colour easily on my single colour printer rather than colouring with a pen in on version 1. Also 4 screws was over kill. Program used fusion 360 Hobby. on which “change Text Parameters” needs to be installed and running. https://apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=2114937992453312456&appLang=en&os=Mac 1: Smallest size 1/4 inch imperial. 6mm Metric 2:The Numbering "does" change automatically on top. 3: SpannerSize is the Only item that needs to be changed all other things change automatically, (well nearly)Their appears to be a bug changing the font size automatically with the changing Spanner Size. This then requires the changing of the font size manually. My estimate is half E.G. metric Spanner Size 10mm, font size 5mm and it should fit nicely on top. About a third imperial. 3/4 Spanner size 1/4 Font. I have not found the coding to remove ( " ) after the imperial numbering. These items are in the in the Favourites area spreadsheet. 4: Screw holes set to 3mm but you can update your self using the spread sheet. Not in the know, The Spread sheet can be found under "MODIFY" -- "Change Parameters" Also if new to 3d printing, when using Prusa slicer you will need to split the object, button on top row. Then use the Place on Face, left hand side, to get them all to lie flat prior to printing Have added an STL and gcode, will be printing using PLA+ UPDATE 15/07/22: Ok changed size in Fusion, exported to Prusa, separated and flattened both to bed, set height for colour change, sent to printer. 1 hour 25mins later great result. photos added. Big difference to first design is the obvious thicker base as this creates the angle rather than the attachment of shaft to base.. I always try to avoid supports etc in design and printing.
