And for those without a 3D printer, you can get plastic pellets that are made for molding. I've made several hub tools, or as I like to call them, "Hub Turds".

If my wife asks what I am printing, this will definitely be my answer. And I will likely laugh again at this every single time I use it.

And now is the time a picture is worth a 1000 words....



As far as the custom shape.....it could be more helpful to a person that is suffering from severe arthritis, is possibly missing some fingers or can not grip the one with the different shape edges that is shorter.

And for you high speed low drag 3D printer guys, ever though about this? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1228456...=hp_rv-2&sts=1

AND in Blue.

I've made a couple out of 3/4" plywood and some..3/8"(?) dowel. Trace out a 4-6" circle, use a hole boring bit to drill around the circle for the finger grooves, then cut the circle out, drill a couple holes one size under the dowel in the middle that are spaced to fit the hub groove and pound the dowel in with some glue. Throw a couple heavy coats of paint,sealer,oil,etc. on it and it'll last forever. And if it does get lost/broke/whatever..it didn't cost much and takes 15 minutes to duplicate.
