Hex key T handle

thingiverse

This is my first design! So that's why it might be a bit overengineered, but hey, it's fun so who cares? I had some hex type keys for automatic yard gate engine disabling and that plastic handle which got broken over time. I figured out that this fix could be a good practice to learn Fusion and make my own handle design. Some design decisions and conclusions if they have worked out or not: * Hex key should be fixed to the handle by tightening a nut and bolt. That worked out pretty well. * I decided to split the handle horizontally for two reasons: a) it's super easy to print both parts from a flat surface without any supports, and b) I can select different infill: 100% for the bottom part that holds the hex key and has to be strong enough, and I can select something like 10% for the top part that is basically a decorative part. * I will use two pins to join the top and bottom parts. That did not work very well: the pins got broken on assembly (I forgot to make them 100% infill), and instead of just drilling them out, I just glued the top and bottom parts together.
