This tool is used to temporarily replace the fork steerer tube before installing a fork back to the headset.
Anyone who has done service on a headset that has internal cable routing knows that you need three things when installing the fork: 1) the finger-dexterity of a lockpicker 2) zen-like calm of mind 3) a third arm.
With this tool you can assembly everything before pushing in the heavy fork, and not be worried of the fork dropping on garage floor. Assembly everything one part at a time, push cables to the right places, and at last screw the fork to the assembly tube, and carefully pull the steerer tube trough your now assemblied headset+spacers+stem. (the pictures will hopefully make sense of this explanation...)
Alternatively you can install this tool to the fork tube and pull it trough so the printed tube will stay in place while you service your fork.
The tube is 28.6mm, with a tapered end that has ISO 6mm threads. Install a 6mm grub screw and you can attach the fork steerer tube via the star nut.
!! Be sure to have enough solid layers on top (mine has 7), so the grub screw wont crush the end of threading when you install !! Mine is printed in 0.20mm prusaslicer balanced on a core one+, 7mm brim, default settings otherwise.
