<p><strong>This is a quick remix of Sneaks cool looking Metric screw measuring tool (</strong><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/3408-quickly-measure-sort-m2-m3-m4-m5-metric-screws-up-"><strong>https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/3408-quickly-measure-sort-m2-m3-m4-m5-metric-screws-up-</strong></a><strong>).</strong> The only difference is that this is designed to use nuts which can be heat set into the tool, instead of inserts. Otherwise it is identical.</p><p>I printed and tested this, seems to work well with the nuts.</p><p>To heat set these, I screwed the nuts on the end a long bolt, and then used a jet butane lighter to heat them up, before seating them. This method has worked well in the past and is simpler (for me) than using a soldering iron, but as always use caution since it is easy to burn things or yourself. I held the parts with pliers to give some distance between my fingers and the torch.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Update 12/28/2021 (2) </strong>- Thanks to the suggestion (and helpful explanation) by Justin, I added a 2nd version which uses several small partial bridges in the pockets, which are only 0.2mm thick and intended to help with printing this without supports. &nbsp;</p><p><strong>The model which can be printed without supports is named “screw-tool-remix-1E-NOSUPPORTS.stl”.</strong></p><p>Category: Hand Tools</p>
