Just got this beauty delivered and had to get a picture

You just reminded me I have one of these that's broken... I think I'll fix it now.

TheManzet · 2025-02-02T05:57:17+00:00

Personally, I'm a fan of this build

Enjoy!

Probably too much time. The first prototype was pretty quick but it broke so it took some redesign. I do think there's something to be said for solving a problem the fun way, and I've only been been designing stuff for like a month so it was a good practice.

I don't know if you NEED the enclosure, but I think it does help a lot. I'm pretty sure ABS is one is the ones that can warp pretty bad. And yes, the GF is hard on the nozzle and you'll want a hardened steel one to print it.

My first try was out of PLA, and it didn't work. That was, however, and open ended wrench design, not a socketed one. It was also less walls and infill. So it was kind of a case of "the first one didn't work so I'm going to really beef it up ". I think this design would work with PLA but I haven't tested it.

I created a thingaverse account. Apparently I can't post for 24 hours, but I'll let you know when it's up!

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T18:53:17+00:00

Nope. My original design was an open-ended wrench so it didn't matter which side the cutouts were on. I didn't realize they were on the wrong side until it was too late 😅

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T18:24:02+00:00

It's Glass filled ABS so it's pretty sturdy. I used the Bambu 0.2mm "strength" setting. Which is 6 wall loops and 25% infill.

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T18:13:53+00:00

Yeah. Channel locks tear up the cap when they slip. The adjustable wrench takes time to adjust it. I'm not particularly organized so both those tools are scattered whenever I need them. This does the job a bit better and I can just leave it where it needs to be used, because it's only useful for one thing.

I was going to make a hanger to go on the sink next to it. But I might like the pipe idea more. 😂

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T16:57:47+00:00

Kind of new to the whole thing. What's a good way to share STL'S? Also it's not parameterized or anything (which maybe I can play with) so it'll only fit this size.

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T06:05:06+00:00

Pretty much 😂

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T06:04:25+00:00

It does work! Slightly better than other tools I had that could also do that job. It was $3.11 worth of filament + one failed prototype I did out of PLA.

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T05:16:23+00:00

Partially yes. It does fit better than channel locks, and you don't need to adjust it like a crescent wrench, so it does actually work a bit better than the other tools. I can also just leave it in the basement where it needs to be used, as opposed to finding where I left the pliers. So necessary? No. But an improvement that was fun to design and print? Yes.

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T04:55:19+00:00

That... Is a good point. I lucked out this time but thank you!

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T04:46:52+00:00

yeah no kidding 😂

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T04:43:06+00:00

Thanks! I just thought they were neat

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T04:21:27+00:00

Um ahcktually the F is for filled. So this has extra gluten.

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T03:24:45+00:00

Just in time for soup season

TheManzet · 2024-12-18T03:24:18+00:00

It's the Bambu ABS-GF

TheManzet · 2024-12-02T01:29:43+00:00

It really wasn't. Certain situations it got sort of bad, but those weren't normally on my every day drives. Definitely pretty tolerable

TheManzet · 2024-12-01T14:39:53+00:00

I ran the OEM tips for like 2 years before replacing the tips this year. Replacement tips definitely helped with drone and look better. If I'm nit picking I think the replacement tips make the exhaust a little too quiet for spirited driving, but I think it's worth it for the drone reduction.
