[Tool] Friction pin connector/cutout

thingiverse

One of the things I've admired about the Ozo 123 Puzzle bear, apart from the genius of it all, is the connector pin. It's simple, it works, and best of all, it's easy to print (compared to for example the lego technic/mindstorms connector). So I've tried to extract the necessary holing to be able to use the pin in other designs. I have done a few tests and it looks fine, but there should be a way to make it a bit shorter - in that case I'll update it. Or maybe someone else has a good idea? Before someone accuses me of trying to pad my list of things - I agree this isn't a great invention, since I basically copied what someone else did and measured a few cylinders around it. But it's a useful tool I think, and since it's not in the original design, I thought why not make it public. Maybe someone can use it. I know I do. How I Designed This Tinkercad link https://tinkercad.com/things/9CO0n6pPnYQ It's public, so you can make a copy and use it in your own designs. Custom Section How to use, and what for. Obviously it's a connector. The dumbbell part isn't meant to be printed - it's used to cut something away, to make the hole for the pin. You may need the dumbbell twice, once for each half you want to connect (or not, depending on program). Make sure that the smaller, inner, section is actually at the edge of the object, it should create a "lip" - this is what will keep the pin secured.
