I needed a 4mm hex driver for a set of M2.5 standoffs so I made this tool.  Standoffs can be tightened slightly more than finger tight by hand which it about right for stacking up PCB boards.  The small size allows the tool to fit in the box with the standoffs so it does not get misplaced.

I included two versions (4mm and 5mm) which are what I needed for the M2.5 parts I have.  If there is interest I can adjust the model for other sizes.  The model was made in Fusion 360 with parametric adjustments for the dimensions.

Printing

  • Material: PLA (or better)
  • Layer Height: 0.2mm
  • Perimeters: 4 (to eliminate infill)
  • Infill: 100% (but shouldn't be needed)
  • Supports: None
  • Bed Adhesion: Brim
  • Printing Orientation:  Handle end down

 

[Update] Added 4.5mm size version.
