Mini Mallet Hammer - Part Removal Tool

This is a very simple realistic mallet that can be used as a prop, tool or fidget toy. One of the known ways of getting parts of a PEI build sheet is with a small but swift blow with a mallet and this works a treat for this. It requires no glue or even any real assembly.

Although this awesome tool has some functionality it also has a really satisfying fitment and I found myself playing with it all day. (maybe at the expense of my co-works sanity.)

This isn’t designed for your next woodworking project it is for lightweight low stress tasks. It is NOT like your solid oak mallet so please don’t use it like that. If your looking for a little extra strength just add a few more shells in the slicer both to the handle and the head of the mallet. It is extremely important that you do not use this mallet on nails or other metal objects. It's plastic: it can deform, crack, shatter, or snap.

Don't forget to like this model! If you print one, please share a make!

Quick Warning

Please be sensible if your going around smashing things up with this mallet maybe consider wearing some eye protection.

PLASTIC SHATTERS especially pla so just be weary that a rouge piece of plastic could be flying your way.

Print Settings

• Nozzle Size: 0.4mm
• Layer height: 0.2mm
• Vertical Shells: 4 for `head`, 3 for `grip`
• Top/Bottom Layers: 8 for `head`, 6 for `grip`
• Infill: >50%
• Supports: No Thank You!

Print one `head` and one `handle`. The parts are already oriented correctly in the STL files.

Be sure to calibrate your e-steps and flow rate before printing!

The tolerance between each piece is 0.2mm, so you may also need to reduce your flow rate (mine was set to 97.5% and everything fits perfectly). This tolerance makes each fit very tight, but it also makes the mallet extremely difficult to disassemble (you don't want it flying apart, do you?).

I printed mine in PETG and worked a charm tested in PLA with no issue. (most materials will work
