Nozzle Wrench for 1/4 Inch socket

I had these sockets for MK8 and V6 nozzles laying around that I had been using and wanted to give them more grip and be easier to use. The fit is tight in the “snug” version as I had no intention of removing the socket once installed. I just printed another for my other nozzles. 

The ¼" sockets I have around the house are about 12mm in diameter. The “snug” version is 12.1 mm on the inside and is a snug fit and requires pre-alignment before pressing into place. The “looser” version is 12.3 mm and should be significantly easier to install. 

In-lieu of printing the looser version you can use X-Y Contour compensation (ie “-0.12” to “-0.17”) to open the print up (Orca/Bamboo slicer) or use Horizontal expansion in Cura with the same values as well.

I suggest using higher temp plastics (ABS, PC, Nylon, etc) as you will (should!) be installing your nozzles when they're hot and use 6+ walls to ensure the center peg is solid along with gyroid or cubic for strength.

Enjoy!
