I designed this Trim Potentiometer adjustment tool for adjusting a variety of different trimpot models, and it should fit most trimpot barrels.
While there is nothing wrong with this model, there is a second version here that is a little larger and includes a larger knurled knob to help with precise adjustments.
It is intended for use at a nuclear power plant, where Foreign Material Exclusion is a major concern, so it is also intended to float for easy retrieval should it be dropped into water.
Features:
Inset flathead tweaker
Floats
Lanyard loop
Indexing points on the top and near the tip to help align the flathead with the recess in the pot.
Printing Recommendations:
Do not use supports. This will fill the internal hollow space meant to keep it floating. Necessary supports are designed into the file.
Filament: This should be printable with just about any filament other than TPU.
Walls: 2+
Infill: Doesn't matter, it will be all walls anyway.
USE ARACHNE WALL GENERATOR SETTINGS. "Detect Thin Walls tends to some structures not printing well.
Layer Height: 0.12mm to .2mm, but smaller layer heights will work better.
Post Processing:
The designed in support fin below the tip should snap off, but may be on a little more tightly and need to be cut off.
