YANC yet another nutcracker

thingiverse

I was eager to craft a nutcracker for the upcoming season, so I quickly settled on the screw type as my preferred design - its resistance to "overcracking" the nut made it an attractive choice. My target object of focus would be walnuts, and I envisioned a cup with one closed end to efficiently capture finer debris. Additionally, I opted for a trapezoidal thread on the screw for added functionality. Since no suitable design existed on Thingiverse, I created my own, choosing the "Hex" style as a foundation. It's possible that I may even print some spanners to complement the cracker, allowing it to be used by my kids with ease. If you plan to produce the nutcracker in two colors, I recommend printing one set per color and then mixing them after breaking in the threads for optimal performance.
