Wooster Sherlock GT Paint Pole Attachment Adapter

This adapter mimics the design of the original Sherlock adapter so you can attach tools that use the standard paint pole (ACME 3/4 - 5) threading and get the benefit of the quick release system of the sherlock.

Printing:
This can be printed vertically without supports but there will be some sagging near the bottom hex shape around the circle inside. I narrowed the design of the top of the inside cylinder to eliminate the need for supports there. 


Better method is in Prusa Slicer (2.6.0 beta1 as of this posting) use paint on supports and place dots around the bottom of the hex to provide a little help. See photo for better understanding of what I mean. Also I set the support 'style' to "snug" and it came right off the bed without any issues leaving most of the supports still on the bed to be scraped off.
The threads printed perfectly without any supports in Prusa Slicer 2.6.0 beta1 at 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4 nozzle on my Elegoo Neptune 2. 

Keep in mind that if printing in the vertical orientation, you do run the risk of the print breaking along a layer line. So you may desire higher infill for some use cases. And anything that has a significant level of force being applied, you would have to print the adapter horizontally with supports. 

A note on the threads: I tried my best to match the ACME ¾ -5 standard and the threads came out fairly well. But one of my tools did not thread on perfectly while others were fine. So mileage may very. 

I've included the Fusion 360 and Step file so others can remix the design.
