Allen key handle with optional support.
I wanted a fast, simple and strong print. 

My choice of printing parameters were: 4 walls, 60% infill, 4 bottom layers, 3 top layers, 0.2mm layer height.
But, from my tests, for smaller allen keys (e.g. 1.2mm), it worked fine also with 2 walls, 15% infill. The print is so small and fast, it doesn't matter. I even did it with 100% infill for the 3mm one. 


Features:

  • 2 small parts per handle.
  • This design uses no threads, no hard to print parts, no support needed.
  • The shape gives perfect grip for power.
  • Contains a set of 5 handles with size from 1.2mm to 3mm.
  • Support for these 5 handles that can be used horizontally or vertically ( with double tape )
  • support has a small tray included, to not loose small screws.
  • all 5 handles with 4 walls and 60% infill takes 1h:6min (total time) on Bambu printer.
  • optional support for the handles takes 27min (total time).
  • 44gr. of filament for 5 handles and support.
