Hexagon Bone Wrench

Description

This Is Just A Quick Test Cad Model I Decided To Do Today. I Modeled It After The Bone Wrench We Had Here At Home. It Was Partially Inspired By The Openscad Logo / Example001 File. There Is Probably A Way To Create This In Openscad Itself, But I'M Not That Mathematically Inclined So I Just Did This One In Solidworks. I Like To Use The Openscad Example001 File Like One Would A Calibration Cube Just Because It Looks Cool. This First Two Models Are Probably In English Units, So Sorry Probably Not Metric. But A Metric Version Could Be Made Easily If You Could Figure Out The Id Of The Hexagon Edges. Bone Wrench 2 Was Also Modeled In Solidworks As An Assembly As It Was Easier To Do That Than As One Solid Piece. The Odd Thing With Solidworks Assemblies And Saving Them To Stl Format Is That Often There Is Weird Geometry Issues With Faces And When Going To Print Certain Features Will Be Missing From The Item Completely. In Cura This Can Often Be Fixed Using Your Advanced Settings And Playing With The Options For "Fix Horrible". In The Long Run It Is Just Better To Have A Good Stl File To Begin With. The Only Good Way I Know How To Do This Is To Upload My Files To 3Dcontentcentral And Then To Redownload Them In Stl Format. 3Dcontentcentral Seems To Fix It. I Have Provided A Bad Stl Version Of This So You Can See For Yourself. Just Go Into Your Slicer Settings And Click "Layer View", And "X-Ray View". If You See Gaps And/Or Red Faces These Indicate You Will Have Printing Problems. I Also Did A Post About These Issues On My Blog Awhile Back. (Https://Keen101.Wordpress.Com/2015/11/20/Fixing-Mesh-Issues-Layer-Gaps-In-3D-Printing/) I Have Not Printed One Of These Yet, So I Have No Idea If The Hexagon Dimensions Need To Be Adjusted So They Print Out So They Can Be Used Immediately With No Modification. Most Likely They Do Depending On Your Nozzle Size. My 3D Printer Uses A .5Mm Nozzle Diameter.
