oring stud tool

thingiverse

This is a tool initially designed to install orings on cylinder studs of Ducati Testastretta engines. It allows you to safely slide the oring over the stud's thread, preventing wear and tear. And this is also my very first design for 3D printing, created using FreeCAD software. There's a radius on the FreeCAD file that seems not to be exported to the STL file; I'll have to fix it. Feel free to improve the design - I'll test it as soon as I receive my printer. The tool was originally designed to install toroidal joints onto cylinder stud threads of Ducati Testastretta engines. It enables you to slide the joint safely over the stud thread, preventing damage and potential leaks. This is actually my very first 3D printing design, made using FreeCAD software. I've included a radius on the FreeCAD file, but it doesn't seem to be exporting correctly to STL - I'll investigate further. Don't hesitate to improve the design; I'll test it as soon as my printer arrives.
