These tools are designed to help in assembling the Rook 3D printer by @rolohaun. The bearings need to have shims on the outside and they are small and difficult for me to position.
- The fork can hold a shim in place while tightening the M5 shaft/bolt. It's .9mm thick in the model so you may want to scale it in Z depending on your needs.
- The spoon can hold two F695 bearings with edge lips to hold shims in place while tightening the M5 shaft/bolt. This is oriented to print on the bottom of the spoon and handle for strength and printability. I printed with .15mm layers to get the details, .7mm walls w/.6mm nozzle.
- The shim is 10mm OD x 5.2mm ID x 1mm. I scale it in the slicer if I need thinner or thicker. I figured I'd include it too..
I had already made and used the fork to assemble the idlers and was thinking about something to hold the stack when Hedgehog Makes wondered out loud about a “spoon" to hold them in his assembly video :D A few minutes later I had this spoon, and saved an hour of frustration and cursing, excellent idea, thanks!
