Published description
17 mm Impact Socket Handle for RC Car Wheels
Purpose
This model is designed to serve as a handle for a 17 mm impact socket, specifically intended for tightening 1:8 scale RC car wheels. The design aims to provide a rigid, weighted feel for improved handling during use.
Practical Uses
It is used as a custom tool to facilitate the tightening of RC car wheels using a standard impact socket. The handle is designed to be robust and includes a cover to improve tactile feel and provide protection if dropped.
Included Parts
- body.stl
- cover.stl
- cover_0.2mm_FLEX_MK3_48m.gcode
- body_0.2mm_PLA_MK3_1h32m.gcode
Printing and Assembly Guidance
The body is intended to be printed in PLA with 4 wall lines for robustness. The cover can be printed in TPU for a better touch and impact protection, though PLA or ABS may also be used if TPU is unavailable.
Assembly requires the following hardware:
- M5 x 50mm Bolt
- M5 Nut
- 17mm Impact Socket (the designer used a "Geodore" brand socket)
- Threadlock (optional)
