Slocum glider Hull separation tool

thingiverse

this is a specialist tool for working on Slocum underwater gliders. the half moon shape is a kind of cam used to exert force on hull section to separate them. this part is printed on 45 deg so as avoid the sheer acting across the printed layers. it is designed to be used in conjunction with a 13mm socket. print with 100% infill . i used PLA 220deg ( for good layer adhesion) i found a brim was required for good bed adhesion or the model could sometimes detach during printing ruining the print.
