Tap Handles with Wood Insert Nuts

A basic tap handle can likely be found for about $20 and will genuinely be more durable than this one. Nevertheless, these handles function extremely well as long as you don't overtighten them! I created this set mainly to experiment with a different technique of inserting threads into 3D printed components. As evident from the design, I employed a wood insert nut instead of a standard nut. This type of nut offers additional threads and distributes the applied stress in a manner that differs from a standard nut. The insert nut will also never unintentionally fall out! To enable a direct comparison between different types of nuts, I provided an STL file for each type.
