"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.

  1. 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.
  2. It's better for the screwdriver to be multi-sided rather than cylindrical for a better grip.
  3. The buttons should be centered for ease of use in both ways of holding the handle.
  4. Making the screwdriver in two threaded parts is not a good idea as it complicates things.
  5. It's best to make it in two longitudinal parts, like I did with the main body.
  6. The shaft connecting the motor and the tip can be made much smaller with a 3D printer.
  7. 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.
