Thank you for sharing...just need to find a 3D printer now.

This is great!
if you ever made it happen we would all need to find ourselves a 3d printer soon

Yeah, probably not going to happen mate. The tiny teeth on a Rolex opener need to be alloy rather than plastic; you would need to have the file printed by an on line 3d print shop who can print in metal. They also need to be very precise so you would need to scan a caseback with a high end 3d scanner in order to make the file.

I've never run into one a rubber case back ball can't handle.

I'd be happy to try, maybe an excuse to buy a blue dial noob YM :balloon:

The caseback tool doesn't have to be that strong, it's more important that it applies pressure equally around the caseback.

This is not a question for this thread

Well, if you can 3D print a building, I guess you can also do it for a caseback opener.

The problem is, you need to push down really hard on stubborn Rolex caseback to force it to spin. I had the misfortune of screwing up the threads of one, no pun intended.

stxtf awesome!!! I was trying to scan and print a caseback opener on Thursday but it always came out just a little too big or too small. I also tried to just print out a dodecagan but again, just a little too tight or too loose. I was going to go back to the drawing board this thurday but instead, I’ll just print up the ones I need.

Fucking righteous, brother.

No problem. You may have to make small size adjustments either way. I haven't figured out a way to avoid it. I have 4 different 3D printers and the size tolerance between them is not even close, in some cases. I think the filament has something to do with it. PLA shrinks less than ABS but still must be a factor.
