Hub tool

Few of the wrench flat ones

Put both hub patterns on the same tool, one at each end, whatever side isn't used can be utilized as a leverage point.

Those look good. I ended up picking up a broach for an Allen key for another idea. I still need to get one for a 3/8 ratchet. Most people seem to like wrench flats though for a 3/4 in wrench as well.

How do you get the material to hold together and be strong enough? I got a knob for my tube bender for the release from a buddy and the first day it chipped and broke apart.

It's all about the filament choice and printer settings. It takes a long time to tune a printer for good prints. That orange material is PETG. My printer is tuned great for it, except when supports come in to play. Still strong, but from the second pic above, you can see the surface finish results.


If it's strong enough for a noisemaker, it's surely strong enough for turning a hub.

And now I need a 3D printer.

There's a thread in the appropriate section of the forum.

Still making these. Sold quite a few. Have a bunch made and ready to ship. Fit ford hubs and Yukon. Also made a few that fit warn hubs (test hub was off a Dana 44).

60 on the regular ones shipped

80 on the warn ones shipped

Get a star to pimp your shit

I paid for my star last year and this year. Not sure why it’s not there.


And considering this has been more of a discussion and I haven’t sold a single one here, I’m not to worried.

There's a 3D printing forum now?

No, but there's a sports and outdoors section where bangy things are discussed.
