Nozzle Torque Wrench - remixed turbine

thingiverse

I became frustrated with many of the torque wrench models on thingiverse never seemimg to give the torque values I wanted. I don't like printing this type of model with PLA, but prefer PETG (or PC) which tends to be more flexible than PLA. This usually results in printed models with less than 1.5 Nm of torque. Thing 4738816 (which I credited by remixing from) had the handle shape I preferred, and the author was kind enough to include a .step file. However, modifying the blade thickness from the .step file isn't easy. Therefore, I re-created that author's work in Fusion360, using parameters for several aspects such as blade thickness, the angles of the blades, etc, and uploaded the Fusion360 archive of that work. After importing this Fusion360 archive, a person can easily adjust the blade thickness (or other parameters), export to STL and print in a trial and error process until they get the torque that they desire. While there is an .STL file attached to this thing, it's only an export of the parameters as they are set in the uploaded Fusion360 archive file (.f3d.) This happens to work out well for the filament I'm using and gives me approx 2.1 Nm. Of course, to use this, you'll still need to print a handle and lid from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4738816 As with most anything I upload to thingiverse, this is completely unsupported. You'll need a copy of Fusion360 (it's free for personal use) and just a bit of ability to use the program in order to change the parameters, export the model as STL, etc. The 'v3' files fix an error where the blades were backwards. Sorry about that... You might need to flip the updated model 180 degrees on the X or Y axis in your slicer before printing it. You could also rotate it 180 degrees in Fusion360.
