3d printed tools

[kram]

I'm intending to print things that will make my job easier. Open to any ideas, if you think of something useful I ca  try to print it. A lot of stuff has already been designed, along side plenty of useless tat.

 

First up was a brightly coloured climbing wedge. I've got cheap beech wedges but I'm always loosing them being wood coloured.

 

Climbing scrench. 13mm, 19mm, two hex bit slots for flat and torx. Cord hole for hanging, fuzzy texture for grip. Quite a bit smaller and hopefully less stabby than a metal scrench. I might alter design with some sliding caps over the hex bits as they are still a bit stabby.

 

Theres a hedge trimmer sharpening jig I might print. Requires disassembling the blades however, and mine dont need it yet, hopefully wont for some time.

Currently printing a chainsaw sharpening guide. I dont need one, but why not try it, might get in the way and annoy me, my angles are pretty good.

This attachment for the Dremel helps to maintain the correct angle when sharpening a chainsaw. A cylindrical 4mm whetstone is then used, which is...

 

Printed box to store the sharpener when its in car or on site.

Think you are onto a winner (from me anyway) with the tool box. Just a small modification for other tools as well... and make them all stackable? So perhaps standardised dimensions (could go half width or full width for thinner / thicker tools).

Some great ideas there Kram.

 

Remember to print ‘ARB’ on everything.

It automatically adds £50 to the value.

@Steven P I'm not sure what you mean by stackable? A climber is only going to carry one scrench, if at all.

Wedges perhaps, but how? Stacked ones wont fit in the trouser pocket. Small magnets or clips would get them to stick together but then hanging on harness.

 

I've had jobs where I really needed a  scrench in the tree, had to come down and then decided to come back the next day, knocking the next job back. A simple scrench and I could have finished it, or not. The job I'm thinking of, the chain had hit the catcher and the drive links all burred, took ages to file them back to a useable state.

 

@Marla brown sorry I have @'d you, this forum does t let me delete it?! 

If anyone knows how to delete unwanted @'s or quotes, please tell me.

 

@Mark Bolam would you like to buy some 😀

 

Tbh I dont care to sell them, arrange a postage with evri or whoever and I can drop some in a box. This thread is more to help me, I want some good ideas from the experienced climbers.

Sorry Kram - I should have said the box to store the sharpener in the car - that one to be stackable with other tools (handy for in the workshop too). 

[kram]

Ah well thats currently beyond my skills and I dont have anything else that it would stack with. I was intending to print a load of chain storage boxes that I want to stack, but still looking for a good design.

 

It came from here - if you click customise you can easily alter all of the dimensions

am i the only one thats never heard it called a scrench? 

Isnt that a combi tool? 

cant see how your one beside it ia used? if plastic would it be strong enough to undo the nuts? Im probably missing something here.

Often think some kind of box stacking system that could slide into the tool box compartment of the work vans. Make it simpler to load and unload at jobs as they are quick to slide out.

Kram you’re gonna need a bigger printer!

Yes it will undo them, hand will hurt before the plastic breaks, no problem unless they are done up stupidly tight - thats a bad idea as most modern, lightwieght professional grade saws, the studs are only threaded into plastic!

Heres a little tip.

Next time your topper throws a chain and the drive links get burred so it won’t fit into the guide bar.

Re fit the chain super loose, then hold it in its normal position (handle upright as if you were cross cutting a horizontal log)

Start the saw and rev it up for 4/5 seconds, the burrs will wear off and the chain will slot into the bar.

Stop the saw and tighten to normal tension.

Finish the job, collect the money, live happily ever after.
