Screwdriver-, Veroboardcutter-, etc. Handle

thingiverse

I've made some adjustments to the automatic thumbnail rendering of my *.scad file. It seems that Thingiverse's implementation can't import STL files, so I had to take matters into my own hands. A quick modification to the handle design from OnShape did the trick. My motto is always "don't reinvent the wheel," so I simply took their existing design and tweaked it to suit my needs. This includes making room for other types of inserts, like drill bits or veroboard cutters. Included in this package is the Openscad script you'll need, along with the original STL file ("Screwdriver_Handle.stl") that serves as its foundation. I've also included a modified version with a 3mm hole, which came in handy for my veroboard cutter project (you can see the finished product in the attached picture). Feel free to customize the script to your liking by adjusting the following parameters: __scale_handle_diameter__ = 0.5; Determines the handle's diameter - I opted for a smaller size, so I halved it. __scale_handle_length__ = 1.0; Similar to above, but for the length instead. __hole_diameter__ = 3.0; The hole's diameter in millimeters. __hole_depth__ = 50; The hole's depth, also in millimeters. __$fn__ = 32; If you need a hexagonal shape, change this to 6 (or 3 for a triangle shape and so on).
