I wanted a shorter something to hold on to my hex bits when turning the screws on my MK3S heatbed for levelling.
I'm using this guide as a reference: https://github.com/PrusaOwners/prusaowners/wiki/Bed_Leveling_without_Wave_Springs
I also wanted some sort of indicator to know approximately how far I'd turned the screw between each levelling pass, so there's a compass style indicator on the top, thicker line for 0° to 180° to keep track of how far I've turned the bit.
This simple solution holds a for my purpose 4 mm hex bit as well as a more generic 62 mm bit.
Both sizes are here, as well as the Fusion 360 file :)
