Description

PDF

A remix (my very first remix!) of the original STL file created by @cmh_13634 for the SR Suntour fork top cap to accommodate a smaller ¼ inch socket wrench. 

Remixed the design in Tinkercad, which is why some surfaces are not as smooth as the original STL, but it should not have any structural effects.

It's not an exact ¼ inch (6.35mm) socket but rather 6.75mm, as it was previously too tight for the wrench and disengaging will cause noticeable blemishing, markings and damage.

Print Notes:

Printed with 5 wall loops and 20% gyroid, but I believe it could be printed with even lower specs and still work as intended. 

I did this to provide the print with extra rigidity and strength as it was meant for a friend and to provide a peace of mind for the unpredictable amount of physical beating it will take.

No supports used, printed in place as is.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

  • Shrunk the square socket hole of the SR Suntour fork topcap to adapt to a ¼ inch socket.
  • Made the indent more spherical, this might however make it a bit too tight to disengage, YMMV.
