This is a socket to test media for strength while using a torque-wrench.

[I just added a 21mm that works on my lug nuts. I use a low impact driver until it breaks, and then measure the removal torque]

To test, print the part (with the square-side down and no support), and record the peak torque attained before failure by using this digital torque adapter:

Use a bolt with a 3/4 inch head. If you are metric, 12mm bolts often have 19mm heads, which are 0.748 inches, so within the same tolerance range and acceptable to use.

Please spread this to various 3D printer forums so that we can crowd-source a comparison table of methods to achieve stronger parts.
