3D Printed Sprocket Shaft Seal Installer

[airbozo]

A friend printed this out for me yesterday and I used it last night to install the seal on my S3T. Needs a little bit of tweaking, but worked perfectly for me. The lip is a little thick, and slightly rough, but a little sanding and cleanup and it will be perfect.

OK, here is the finished part without any sort of cleanup. I am going to try it as is before determining if I need to clean it up at all. There are a few "rough" spots that are really not that rough, just a section where the printer stopped that sticks out a little more and then a couple of spots where the filament did not stick to the platen.

Once the part is published I will post a link.

Here is a link to the 3d model and some pictures of it in use;

We are thinking of making it larger so you don't need a 1" piece of pipe to seat it, just the nut. It will also allow a larger surface area to grab onto to remove it once the seal is seated.

Thoughts?
