Prusa Bits Kit

parts required 2x 1/4" washers (0.6mm high),  7mm hex socket for 1/4" square connector I designed this kits to hold all the left over parts from the Prusa built, along with some materials/tools for maintaining the printer.  It's a great kit for those starting out and don't have a cupboard full of tools; or someone who wants a compact grab and go kit.  This kit offers many great features for the printing enthusiast.Good Amount of Storage Space.  I lengthen the storage, so it accommodates the longer ball head allen key.  The ball head allen key was a great help to me when building my printer.The cable ties provided with the Prusa kit were a bit long. You will need to trim it down to size before it will fit in the kit (you never need the full length for the printer anyway).  Durable High Torque Driver Bits.  Accepts standard ¼ inch hex bit tools.  The metal reinforced hex socket, means you can apply more torque before it breaks.  Large handle allows you to easily to provide more torque.Built in Nozzle Cleaning and Removal Tool.  The cap accepts a 7mm hex socket, so you can use it to remove the nozzle from the printer.  It is recommended that you put an extra hex nut into the socket when removing the hot nozzle; this is to stop the hot nozzle dropping directly onto the plastic needle guide.It is difficult to thread the acupuncture needle into the printer's nozzle.  The cap also have a needle guide, so that it lines up the acupuncture needle perfectly with the nozzle hole.  Just move the cap with the socket over the nozzle, then push the needle through.Separate Storage for Acupuncture Needles.  So they don't get bend out of shape by all the other bits. I intend to design more compatible tools with this kit later on (tweezers, screw measuring …).  You are welcome to add tools to this kit too; just add it to the remix section. Printing NotesWhen printing the body upright, you might like to add a bream to reduce the chance of the print falling over.The hole for the acupuncture needle may become block up in the print.  I have included cap with different hole size for you to try.  The 1.0mm one worked on my Prusa MK3S.I tried printing in single color and then coloring it in with the sharpie (orange and black model in picture).  I found that the black ink bleeds through the printed layers, so you might want to avoid that.If the bit is too loose and falls out, you can try to magnetize the reinforcing washers.Model in pictures printed in ABS. You can check out my other prints at https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/76585-highrise-workshop/prints.  And don't forget to click the “Like” button.
