Socket Sleeve scratch protector

thingiverse

A protective sleeve for socketed nuts and bolts can be created with ease using a simple design. The concept revolves around adding a 1mm thick barrier that will shield the surrounding area from potential damage caused by scratching or wear. This barrier should ideally fit snugly over a socket that is two sizes larger than the original nut or bolt in question. To achieve this, we recommend utilizing 100% infill settings to ensure maximum coverage and protection. As for layer height, it can be set to any value, making this design highly adaptable to various printing scenarios. When it comes to customizing the size of the sleeve, OpenSCAD provides a convenient option to create any desired dimension. The addition of a 1mm wall thickness has proven to be effective in real-world applications, making it an excellent choice for those seeking optimal protection.
