Easy-to-print Hex Bit Handle for standard, 1/4-inch hex bits and sockets. I've included the Fusion360 design file also.

There are a lot of great Hex Bit Handle models out there but I'm learning Fusion360 and decided to give designing my own a go (I have included the Fusion360 file in case you'd like to make any modifications).
I had a few things in mind during the design process:
- First, I wanted a contoured handle that wasn't too long but long enough to hold onto comfortably, so I went with a length of 60mm.
- Secondly, I wanted to ensure that the hole was deep enough to provide proper support for longer extensions, so I used a depth of 13mm which has worked great for standard bits and longer inserts.
- Lastly, I wanted the bits to fit snuggly but not so tight that pliers were needed to remove them. I made the hex hole 6.44mm across which seems to work just right.
IMPORTANT: The provided model works great for me, but things can vary from printer to printer, so I recommend starting with the original model then scaling it up or down in 1% increments as needed.
Printing:
- Supports: None
- Infill: I recommend at least 25% or higher.
- Layer Height: .2mm
- Material: PLA
