The Normcore Palm Tamper Mod
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This model is for those who like their Normcore V4 tamper, but would like to make it more ergonomic and mimic the feel of a palm style tamper.
This is achieved by simply swapping out the handle to one which sits lower and has a big flat surface on the top to press down on.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Handle is made with threads which the base and stem screws directly into.
This might pose a challenge depending on how well your printer is tuned and how coarse layer height you use.
I have personally printed it in layer height 0.2 in Nobufil PETG without any issues, but the tolerances are tight as the thread pitch is rather fine, meaning that the finer layer height you print in, the better the threads will turn out.

There are 3 Files included
The Infill modifier is used to modify the amount of infill around the part where the threads are and piston rides into, to 100% to make it more sturdy and be able to stand up to the abuse.

If you like this model and have difficulties printing it, struggling with quality or simply would like to support the designer who came up with the idea, I would highly suggest to buy it directly from FusedVisions on Etsy
The original design idea came from him (FusedVisions) and I have simply modeled it how I saw fit, without even owning one of his handles.
