About this model

If you print this thing and find it useful, please consider hitting that "Tip Designer" button and help support more designs. While building an AM8 frame for my Anet A8, I needed something to hold the M5 tap tool. This is a small handle that the hex bit fits quite snugly into (don't want it moving) and worked really quite well even under quite a bit of pressure. Hope you find it of use!
