Compact and high strength Y-Driver that holds up to four ¼" hex bits.
Easily fits in your pocket and can hold your most used drivers, no fiddling around to pull out other stored bits. 

 


 

Magnetic bit retention 

With 6x2mm magnets. 

Insert 6x2mm magnet during pause at layer 15. (Optional)

Other magnets are easy to insert and remove with built in slot and hole. 

Magnets are optional and the bit retention is quite strong without them. The magnets an effective way to stop the bit holder getting sloppy with use.

Easy to insert magnets - non permanent.

 

Easy to remove magnets - Use a pin or pick if you're having trouble.
Up to 4 magnets can be used in this design. One for each bit holder.

 

Ultra strong design

Torque rated to 3Nm WITHOUT the caps installed (most 3D printed designs will break around this point due to the direction of the layer lines). 

WITH caps installed this driver can withstand 6 Nm before breaking. The center bit holder is rated to 7Nm.

Side bit holder breaks at around 3Nm in ABS without cap installed.
Center bit holder failed at 7Nm
Side bit holder broke at 6Nm with caps installed.

 

No Supports Required

There are no bridges or unsupported elements in the design. No post print cleanup required.

No support or bridging required - Perfect prints every time.

Cap Installation 

The caps are a tight fit by design, this is because they provide structural support to the bit holder.
If you are having issues twisting the cap on, I recommend installing them like you would tap a hole - two twists forward and one twist back. Repeat until the cap is fully installed. Wearing grippy gloves is also helpful. 

Install caps by rotating 2 twists forward and 1 back, then repeat.
