Description

I have several 4.8mm (3/16in) straight files that I use to sharpen a Stihl MS261 chainsaw.  I prefer to use the files in the 2-in-1 file kit, but also want to use my files on other projects.  To save my hands from the pointy ends, I designed a push fit handle for the 4.8mm files.

 

The file is fitted to the handle by a firm tap with a hammer the upright file into the handle that's resting on a hard surface, though, not too firmly as to crack the plastic.

 

My print is made in eSUN PLA+ Red and White 1.75mm filaments, with 0.2mm layer height on a Bambu X1 Carbon printer.  Print supports are not required.

 

To help identify the file size easily, I've embeded text into the handle butt with the size "4.8mm".  An multi-coloured print capability will be required to benefit from this text.

 

Both a print profile and the individual STL file is included.

 

I hope that you can find this print useful, too. If so, you can support my work by buying me a coffee …

Excellent! This worked very well for some old files we have. One had a six sided handle insert, and the other had an eight sided handle insert. both secured well. I knew that one of our files could have used a larger handle, but it still secured the file well. Very good design, comfortable handle. Light but sturdy and secure.
