3D model description

A normal tap handle will probably run you about $20 and will honestly be a much more durable tool than this one. That said these handles do work very well, just don't over tighten them!

I made this set mostly to experiment with a different method of inserting threads into 3D printed parts. As you can see I used a wood insert nut instead of a standard nut. This type of nut provides more threads and distributes the applied stress differently than a standard nut. The insert nut will also never accidentally fall out! I provided an stl file that can fit each type of nut so you can print one each to compare them directly.

3D printing settings

These parts need to be stiff, I printed at 75% infill.

The holes are sized for #10-24 bolts 1-1/2" long.

Before installing the 'insert nuts' you will probably want to drill out the holes to at least the minor diameter of the insert nut.

I used wing nuts locked into place with a standard nut so that I could clamp the tool without having to use another tool to lock it down.
