1/4 ‘’ Hex Screwdriver Handle

Are you looking for a very cheap set of hex screwdrivers?  Are you looking for a handle for 1/4’’ hex bits?  Here you are! 

IMPORTANT: “HexScrewdriverTEST.stl”, one of the 2 files outside the folders, can be used to check the tolerance between the key and your print. If you find it too tight or too loose, scale this model in x and y in your slicer and repeat until you achieve the desired fit before applying the same scale to the desired handle and printing it. This test only takes 10 minutes and 3g of materials, saving you time and trouble.

All the handles are equipped with a grip pattern specifically designed to have the least effect on print time, in fact, mostly thanks to the Arachne slicing engine, the outer shell is printed with a constant thickness of 4 walls.

You can also download “HexScrewdriver_MinimalCompleteTEST.stl”, which is the smallest full model you can print to test the feeling of the grip pattern.

Print settings:

Wall line count: 4 or more

Infill density: 30-100%

No need of supports (maximum overhang angle in 45°)

EDIT:

I included a 4mm Hex Bit adapter requested in the comments. It is experimental and untested, so I don't guarantee it will work.  I also included the f3d and a STEP file if you want to modify it.  If you want to try it PUT A HEX NUT BEFORE THE ADAPTER or it may never come out.

If it getts stuck and you didn't put the nut, you can use an M5 tap and an m5 screw to try to remove it, but only as a last resort

This project took me a long time to design and optimize.
