I liked this model but wanted a bit of a different mechanism to hold it together so I reworked it with a threaded shaft and nut. I also merged the shaft+ratchet+handle together into one single part. I printed it on an mk3s with a 0.6mm nozzle @ 0.20mm and the thread/nut works great. I also included another (untested) shaft that should have looser threads. Please let me know if you happen to try it.
thread tips:
- post print, make sure you clean up the part with a stiff brush or heat gun before screwing on the nut to ensure no debris
- thread the nut on and off a bunch of times to make the threads move freely
- a TINY, TINY amount of lubricant (ie: bearing lube) can make the nut buttery smooth if need be
