Feel free to PM me if you have any feedback or questions. -CK ==============================================Made this for my splicer costume for PAX East 2017! ..and emblazoned with Ryan Industries right on the handle! UPDATE: The newest revision is posted here for your benefit. It includes all the new features from lessons I learned while sanding, painting, and assembling: mating features for glue-up alignment coarse-fit threads for easy adjustment better knurling on the nut correctly mirrored text (oops!) Originally modeled after an image of a RIGID-brand monkey wrench - the body of which is 14" long! And no, splicers don't actually use wrenches.. until now :-) Printing Layers thicker than 0.2mm are a sanding nightmare. Don't do it. On my printer, total print time can be less than 21 hours and all parts fit on the bed. Avoid printing with support - I learned this the hard way, as removal of strongly adhered support material in the wrench's neck is super awkward and cosmetically unnecessary. Assembly Notice the diagram (photo #2) - the components have mating features for easy alignment when gluing! lightly sand every surface which will be glued (I use 100-grit sandpaper) 2 holes are included in the wrench handle for 1/4" dowels (I used steel, but wood or plastic should work) Painting Sand everything, then spray. Prime it dark! Like black. I did the main body with red and some "rust"-colored highlights. Masking tape is your friend. Leveling: Maximize your print quality by leveling first! I use my 3 square print:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1776032 Go forth and make! :-D Print Settings Printer: FlashForge Creator Pro Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.200 mm Infill: 40% Notes: 4 bottom solid layers 4 top solid layers 4 shells
