Hex Key Universal T-Handle

Description

This is an attempt at a universal T-handle for hex keys (also known as Allen wrenches). This handle accommodates every size in common sets, from SAE 0.05in to 3/8in and Metric 1.5mm to 10mm.

Note that the fit must be somewhat loose to meet the goal of universal fit. If you want a tight fit, there are a lot of well-made T-handle options for each individual wrench size available, but a quick search didn't reveal any universal ones. Since I don't use hex keys very often, I opted for one efficient size to save space in my tool cabinet.

The first version of this incorporates 6 intermediate-sized holes spaced out, which provides a somewhat better fit at the cost of being asymmetrical. A second version uses only one center hole.

Print Settings

Rafts: No

Supports: No

Resolution: 200

Infill: 100

Filament: Hatchbox PLA Black 
 

Notes: 

I printed at 100% infill for strength because it could be subjected to a lot of torque, but less infill might be fine.
