Steam Engine tank tool

Updated,new version: TheSteam Engine tank tool.Inspired by the Kayfun 4, this tool gives you a grip on your 22 or 23 mm atomizer.Never have a stuck atty again.Never unscrew the wrong part.An older version of this design was copied and sold by multiple companies, both in the USA and in China, who claimed it to be their own design. At least the various Chinese manufacturers showed some collective creativity by adding some tweezer (twizer) thingys to the ends of the wrench handles.Well, let them all have their inferior product. The elegant version 4.5 surpasses the old version by a mile.It grips the atomizer better.It is more ergonomic.It is stronger.It is lighter.It is easier to print.It looks better.I could go on (or could I?), but you get the point.Download this thing. Print at least two. If you print two hundred, be sure to give away a bunch for free.And never feel the urge to curse at your atty again (or cry in the shower for that matter).Print SettingsPrinter Brand:UltimakerPrinter: Ultimaker OriginalRafts:YesSupports: NoInfill:100% Notes: Print with somewhat thick walls for maximum strength.ABS is probably better for durability, but I only ever printed mine in PLA.Other tank sizesPrinting tools for atomizers with different diametersFor 25 mm atomizers, scale all axes to 1.13 (113%).For 30 mm atomizers, scale all axes to 1.36 (136%) (warning: the tool becomes yooge - but also awesome).For atomizers that are smaller than 22 mm, this design does not work that well, because the tool becomes too small to grip. If you have strong fingers you can of course give it a try, but in order to keep the tool from becoming too fragile, you should probably avoid downscaling the Z axis.  Category: Hand Tools
