Wrench for the plastic nut on a 2" toilet flush valve

thingiverse

The original socket is the only one I found in TV that fits the nut on my 2" flush valve. The nut itself measures 62mm flat to flat. I just added a handle so you don't need to get out the pipe wrench. These nuts don't need all that much torque anyway. I don't understand why the original socket part picks up those gaps in the imported and sliced finished product. Edit: this thing won't work as designed... unless you add some glue. The original socket that I remixed seems to have been designed in 2 parts, the part that goes onto the plastic nut and the part that you grab with pliers. But, when printed, these two pieces are attached very tenuously, mostly being a circumferential air gap. You can see that in the slicer and in the Thingiverse thing view above. So, any torque will break them apart. I did not mess with that design, just attached a handle, so that is how the original file was for some reason. I fixed my printed tool by filling in all the gaps with JB Weld plastic weld. If and when I get time, I'll try to cut the original socket design in two and move the two pieces together... or maybe just add a circumferential cylinder to firmly join the two socket components... so that it prints with sufficient strength to use without having to glue it up. Edit 2. I revised the tool to re-enforce the socket. Tool can now be used directly as printed.
