ultimate screwdriver

thingiverse

Ever since I spotted a titanium screwdriver, I craved one - there's something about them that drew me in, even though they're notoriously pricey! That's when I stumbled upon this beauty: https://urbanedcsupply.com/products/rain-z-hex-bit-screwdriver-anodized-titanium. As a maker with access to a 3D printer and an arsenal of parts, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create one myself. This screwdriver is the ultimate tool, boasting a length of almost 91mm without the hex bits. The end cap serves as both a fidget toy and a stand, complete with a 608 bearing that adds a touch of weight to the handle. I designed the cap to fit snugly around the bearing, securing it in place with a retaining screw. When attached to the drive shaft, the bearing is incredibly tight, yet still removable if needed. The entire design is a testament to careful consideration and attention to detail. Now, let's get down to business. To bring this masterpiece to life, you'll need to print the driver with supports, ensuring it's securely attached to the build surface. A brim set at zero with nine outlines will give it an extra boost of stability. The cap and retaining screw can be printed without any issues. All you'll need to provide are a few essential components: a 608 bearing and a 1/4-Inch Socket Drill Bit Holder. I made this a requirement because plastic hex bit holders would be too soft for the torque applied during screwing, and I love the added weight it provides. In the future, I may release a non-essential 1/4 bit holder for the main body. For now, happy printing, makers!
