Adding rubber and metal capped hammer/tapper to a RAT II folder
on: November 23, 2015, 07:04:12 PM
I previously 3D printed a metal cap that I attached to a piece of rubber on my Skeletool to make a little hammer...calling it a "tapper" is probably more accurate, as it's not driving nails. http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,57172.0.html

Lately I've been carrying a PSTII (with the blade swapped out for a SOG saw) and a dedicated folder but I've missed the tapper capabilities. Looked in to folders with glass breakers to see if they could be tweaked to fill the role, but was unsuccessful.

Figured I'd try the same shaped rubber & 3D printed cap approach that I used with the Skeletool. I shaped the rubber and added it to a RAT II this weekend...the screw that supports the bottom of the frame and the lanyard hole provided two good points for locking the rubber in place. Now just need to put together an image file for the cap, wait for it to print, and then adhere it to the rubber.

Got the metal cap from Shapeways today. It has a gold tint to it even though I specified stainless steel, but they have a disclaimer about tints in the metal. Not thrilled about it, but oh well.

Trimmed the rubber down so that it fit snugly...I made the cap so that it would sit flush with the front and back of the rubber and overlap the sides. Roughed up the top of the rubber with a drill. Coated the inside of the cap with impact resistant gorilla glue and pressed it on.
