These tweezers will grab onto a small screw by the head and hold them in alignment so the screw can be turned into the hole slightly to get it started. You will still need a screwdriver to finish the job but there will be less fumbling.
After printing, slide the ring over the tip of the tweezers and onto the shaft where it will remain captive. It will be a tight fit, and you can try to squeeze the ring slightly into an oval to make it go on. My printer is well-calibrated so it just goes on exactly, if yours does not work, i recommend calibrating your extrusion.
To lock the tweezers, slide the ring down towards the tip.
Recommended material is PETG for its elasticity.
It is optimized for a 1.3mm diameter screw with a 2mm diameter head.
