Hello friends,
These USA made Bondhus ball end wrenches are great quality and very competitively priced, however the supplied rubber holder which comes with them is a little loose for my liking and I had a near miss at work where a key slipped out unintentionally. Speaking to another friend, he had the same experience, so I thought I would throw together a tighter fitting jacket for the keys. Nothing too fancy, but it'll improve the usability quite a bit.
I've printed this model using Australian Made Aurarum TPU in blue, and for my machine (Prusa MK4) I ended up with a tolerance of 0.4 mm on each key in order to be a snug fit without being too tight. It was a bit of trial and error to get the right fitment as there is always a bit of shrinkage involved.
This model works really well and hope it's useful for a few people out there.
The full part number for this hex key set is “Bondhus 10999, Set 9 Balldriver L-Wrenches 1.5 - 10mm”, and they are distributed by Sutton Tools in Australia.
Cheers
