Da Tul - GoPro Thumb Screw Wrench, Micro SD Card Holder, and Bottle Opener

Background

Da Tul is a 3D printable version of The Tool, a product made by GoPro to tighten the thumbscrews used on GoPro mounts and accessories. I was able to add a compartment to the design to house an extra micro SD card - a feature that the original product doesn't have while still maintaining a similar form factor.

STLs

I've made 2 versions of Da Tul available:

• SD Card Version (2 STLs)
  • Da_Tul_SD_card_faceplate
  • Da_Tul_SD_card_wrench
• Single Piece Version (1 STL)
  • Da_Tul_wrench_single_piece

Print Instructions

Print the parts face down without supports with the following settings:

• Infill: 30% (or more)
• Layer Height: 0.15mm (or less)

I used PLA, but PETG will hold up better longterm. These cost roughly $0.25 to print, so you can always print off another one when you need it.

The Latching Mechanism

Please review the end of the YouTube video (see below) for a demonstration on how to make revealing the SD card easier. You need to apply downward pressure towards the back of the piece so that it will release more easily. 

YouTube

I documented my design process on YouTube. I went through over 10 different iterations before arriving at this design. I'm providing these files for free rather than placing them behind a paywall - all that I ask in return is for you to consider subscribing to my YouTube channel to help us grow!
