Snap-On screwdrivers. They certainly are great, but I hate how much I've spent on them

I've definitely seen that thread before but completely forgot about it when I made this post...

Let me just start off by saying, I know this is dumb and looked down upon. I did this more as a project with my new micro lathe than anything else. I've never used a 1/4" breaker bar before. No clue why you would ever need one, but I had a Mastercraft one from a kit I got for Christmas 6 years...

Yeah it was a lot for someone to pay someone (library in his case) to print them off. For me that was like $20 in material, mainly due to it being 100% infill. EDIT: The guy was using his local library that charged $0.15/gram, so it worked out to $70 to print the thing. Not really worth it, as...

Thanks! I thought the design was pretty neat too. I'm running out of room in my top drawer, so saving space is always in consideration. Thank you! It's surprisingly not that hard once you have the CAD model built. First you export a .stl from you CAD program, than open the .stl in Cura (other...

I have a Prusa i3 style printer made by Hictop, that they don't seem to sell anymore. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N7I1ZVU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Prusa is brand, but is 'open-source,' such that many Chinese companies come in an make their own kits and sell them...

For sure. The one I have I picked up for $330 CDN on amazon about 18 months ago. I see now gearbest.com has them for like $170 CDN, not sure what that is in US dollars, but they are really cheap if you wanted one.

If I was a little better with a welder I might try. I have no doubt any of us could make one, but making one look good might be a little tough haha True. Still not as nice as having the size above the socket.

I honestly didn't notice until now, but your right, the pegs are almost 5mm taller than the Hansen Global trays. Damn

I love ratcheting wrenches. I use my flex had ratcheting wrenches probably 90% of the time. I have four different sets of Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches in my metric drawer alone. Really like them.

Thanks!! These are values for 0.2mm layer height. If you decrease layer height (for more accuracy) you would need more material. 0.2mm is fine for this application. Left Piece: 158 grams (53m of material) Middle Piece: 123 grams (41m of material) Right Piece: 181 grams (61m of material)...

Not enough interfacing material to **** join them together. You'd have to add another layer across the bottom

Just left them as 3 pieces. I had planned to take some aluminum in the break to form a shallow channel and use some PL Premium to join them all together, but I didn't really see a reason to join them after I had them all printed.

Thanks! I'm an engineering student, so I find having the printer fairly useful for projects and prototyping for university. But I mostly make random toys and **** with it. Some guy on Thingiverse designs scale model engines that all the pistons and valves move, so I'm working on printing off...
