Summary

A tool to tighten/loosen pool caps.

Instructions

This is a tool to tighten/loosen the pool caps. One side is for the caps with square heads, the other for the O with the two lines on them.

There are stability tabs at the bottom which should be broken off once printed (they will prevent warping while printing). The model is 10cm tall, so it should be printable via a maker-bot. Also, ABS is recomended (I'm not sure what happens when PLA meets chlorine...).

DO NOT SCALE before printing - OK, you may want to scale it up 1% if you find the fitting to tight, but otherwise, the size of the tool matters, and scaling will make it not fit.

Edit: mine broke today, so I modified the design a bit -- made teeth a bit wider/stronger, and the edge of the teeth square to the surface. Also increased the diameter of teeth.
