Description
Todays little project, fix my RC Yacht Transmitter. The nut holding the antenna connection has come loose.
Tried to get a socket in there - Wont fit
Tried to get pointy nose pliers in there – Wont Fit
Tweezers fit but - not strong enough
How do I overcome this problem, lucky I got a 3d Printer and Fusion 360.
Open Fusion 360
Draw a 11mm Circle
Draw a polygon 8mm across the flats
Extrude
Draw a circle on top of the extrusion
Extrude
Draw wings for the wing nut
Extrude down add a chamfer
Save as an STL file
Open the Stl file with Prusa Slicer
Export to G-code and print. Have a cup of coffee with the wife while it prints(34 minutes)
5 minutes drawing and 35min printing
Tighten the nut with the new tool – Job finished
Scale the item in your slicer to make any size required
