Hex Bit Tool Remix

The design was reprinted, but the initial hex hole proved to be several mm too small. Despite filing for an extended period, it remained stubbornly unfit, prompting the creation of a new design using OpenSCAD. Several resizing prototypes were eventually needed before achieving a final version where the bit fit firmly in place. Print Settings: Printer: 101hero Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: .2mm Infill: 20% Notes: PLA, 205 C Post-Printing: Minimal filing was necessary to complete the project. How I Designed This: OpenSCAD 2016.10.04 was utilized to create the design. The process began with the hex opening and main cylinder, printed in stages until a height of approximately 10mm was achieved, at which point the correct size was realized. The arm was then added using a union function, followed by the removal of the cylinder at the end of the handle through a difference function.
