I liked franklima260 "Handle for 2.5 mm Allen Key / Hex Key," but I didn't want to permanently lock in the Allen key. So I tweaked the slot so that the key can lock in place when in use, but is easily removed if necessary. This has the added benefit of not requiring a zip tie.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

RepRap

Printer:

Folgertech 2020 Prusia i3

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

.2mm

Infill:

50%

Notes:

I used cura line supports at 25% density "touching everwhere" to support the overhang in the slot; These supports were easily removed with a thin craft knife. The 50% infill is probably overkill, but creates a nice, solid tool.

Custom Section

To use, slot the hex key in, turn it to the side and then push up, to seat it in the tip of the J-shaped slot. When using the screwdriver, the downward force keeps the key slotted in place, but the hex key can easily be removed otherwise.
