got the idea about this from anutter post... here are a few of my 3d printed tools . the hand vice i admit i dont use much but the rest i use all the time. i printed everything with ender 3 and either 60 infill or 100 for strength . the vice works great also the push drill works very well now that its broke in and the c clamp thing is another tool i use often. and dont for get the squeeze clamp (green one ) i have two and need to print two more as well as one more c clamp. they do come in handy and they dont take long to print... all found on thingyverse. there are many tools out there.. there not for heavy duty work but they do work great... so what 3d printed tools do you have...????????????
Nice prints. I don't think I have anything I'd consider a tool per se... I have some jigs I made for keeping certain (long/thin) 3D printed parts from warping while drying and curing, and I printed a pair of tweezers that I elongated so I could pull resin parts from tall jars of alcohol. Pretty mundane stuff actually and purpose built. I always did like the vice designs out there and will definitely print one when I need one! Mike
I only have the resin printer, not particularly good for tools! I think the only tool I printed was Sumner's wheel spreader wedge. No picture, but I just know Sumner just hasn't seen this thread yet and he'll fill it right up with all the prints he makes (seriously, where does he find the time! I'm jealous!)
I kind of hesitated to put this list together but finally figured it would be a good list to have on my site since all of the following are also mixed with buildings and other items one could use on their railroad ( HERE ) and on thingiverse.com ( HERE ).
