Just a skirt was used. It's a fairly fast print, as they're so small.</p><p>After cleaning the worst gunk on the threads they fit just fine.</p><p>Be careful threading it straight the first time, as it will grind off any imperfections when first tightened. It's pretty small, so threads won't be perfect.</p></div>

How I Designed This

Quick measurements, quick model

            <div><p>The hole was about 6.8mm, and both handles together roughly 8.6mm.</p><p>I sketched the head with a hex of 12mm with a 6mm shaft.</p><p>The head was extruded 2mm thick, the shaft extruded threadless for 8mm. An additional 3mm was extruded, and I added a modeled M6x1 thread on it. These were all combined together.</p><p>Then I extruded another 2mm section for the nut, leaving the hole for the thread, and added a matching thread to the inside.</p></div>
