i hate to take out or in racknuts. i'm very happy for this. i'm looking forward to use these. i print them for my colleagues, too. i had problem to print lever from ASA so i print them from petg. I think they are strong enough for this kind of job. thank you for sharing 🤗

Impeccable profile! Made with PETG, we'll see if it does the job. Thank you.

This is going to save my fingers from a lot of cuts!! :D Set it up to 5 walls just go get rid of the small gap in clamping part of the print. Not sure its necessary, but negligible time and filament cost. Super design, works great in PLA and PETG.

@benwilks81

great design, can i ask what the 2nd nut is for? i don't see it in your photos

The designer has replied

@Fabrion365

It's to tighten the first nut, which is recessed in the tool, so it doesn't come loose. You could also use a nyloc nut instead.

Replying to @Fabrion365 :

this mechanism is called a jam nut
