Small Electric Screwdriver.
"Don't make the project 1:1 as it may only serve as an idea, and you can purchase the same hardware. The hardware works perfectly fine.
This is my first attempt at 3D printing. I have some experience as a student with 3D Studio Autodesk, which is why I turned to Fusion 360. After a few attempts and starting from scratch, I created something that works. It's easy to work with and there are enough videos online.
The screwdriver works great, but I'm not satisfied with the result at all.
When I have more free time, I will make version 2.
- When printing with a 3D printer, it's best to provide some larger clearances for easier assembly. Otherwise, if everything is too precise, it will require filing.
- It's better for the screwdriver to be multi-sided rather than cylindrical for a better grip.
- The buttons should be centered for ease of use in both ways of holding the handle.
- Making the screwdriver in two threaded parts is not a good idea as it complicates things.
- It's best to make it in two longitudinal parts, like I did with the main body.
- The shaft connecting the motor and the tip can be made much smaller with a 3D printer.
- The smaller standard for the 4mm tip is best.

*It costed me a few beers to 3d print. My friend who owns a 3d priner printed out the parts for me, which they claim are under $5.
