Multi-Tool Screwdriver

We made a very useful tool of a Multi-Screwdriver that would help you give more leverage over what you are screwing in so you can use more efficient movements in screwing. This is the next multi-tool that would be used everywhere in homes, construction sites, work places, woodshops, and bunch more projects. This is the standard prototype and is not the fully finished product, but will still work the same way as intended. This tool is the way people will screw things into wood or any other kind of materials.

Some of the materials we used screw bits, magnets, and 3d printer.

• Neodymium Magnets
• Ender Pro 3D Printer
• Screw-bits

First we brainstormed the ideas in our heads, which then we translated it onto paper making the ideas a little bit more prominent. The first concept we came up with was the automatic screwdriver, but it turned out that we didn't have enough materials to add a motor in the back of a screwdriver. The second concept was more of a t-shaped screwdriver that had a front attachable chuck, to change out the screw-bits. The third concept was a screwdriver that had a swiss army knife at the base and would be a more of a multi-functional tool. The second concept was the best option for us, but we did change some of the ideas to a more simpler idea. This then led us to the next phase the Fusion 360 design.

The Fusion 360 design is an easy part in the step-to-step process by making this design you would need to make two rectangles on the bottom of the graph to make the main base of the design. Then, you would extrude the two rectangles making the prominent base and joining these bases together. Next, you would round the top of the t-shaped screwdriver and add the hexagon shaped holes that are .15 inch in diameter. After that, take the final design and make it into a drawing on Fusion 360, and add the dimensions onto the design after you have the drawing. Then you can use the 3D printer, CNC Router, and the other materials to make your prototype.

When we were done with the Fusion 360 process then we took the design and started to upload the design in Adobe Illustrator, which then went to the Files and we attached to a USB drive. Next, we took the small SD card out of the USB drive and put it into the 3D printer. Then, we Preheated the PLA for the 3D printer to be ready to print and once the PLA was preheated we started to print the prototype. The first picture here is the first product we got from the 3D printer and it did get warped by the base of the printer. This was the first test run to see if it actually would work and then the second picture is of the final product that we managed to put together after multiple attempts 3D printing the prototype.

That was our Instructable of making the Multi-tool Screwdriver that would make screwing screws in way faster than before. This process is easy to do and could be a very useful tool in the long run. The idea of this product would spread across work places and construction sites year-round.
