17mm Hollow Socket / Spanner

thingiverse

A versatile 17mm socket designed to fit a 17mm x 5mm nut with an outer diameter of 24mm and a hollow internal bore measuring 11mm in diameter. The socket features a 16mm x 2mm bore recess, allowing for easy removal of a 1/4 turn ceramic tap valve while clearing a locking clip. Due to the recessed nut's difficult access, this socket boasts an extremely thin wall, making it impossible to fit with a standard socket set or box spanner. This remarkably strong tool was printed in PLA material, showcasing its impressive durability despite its slender design. Key printing parameters include: Printer: Anycubic Kossel Linear Rafts: No rafts were used in this print. Supports: None were required for this project. Resolution: The print features a 0.2mm layer height and a 0.8mm shell thickness, resulting in a smooth finish. Infill: The socket has 100% infill density, ensuring its structural integrity is not compromised.
