Description
I really wonder why noone has done these trivial tools yet.

It is striking how unimaginative the rep rap community can be. You have a device capable of printing any plastic object imaginable, and you can't seem to get away from printing happy meals toys with it. You want a hex key that doesn't break? Get a god damn foundry. No, I am not joking, go get one:

The technology is trivial compared to what you need to make a rep rap, and homebrew operations are well within the realm of the practical. This man has created a parametric set of casts that can be printed in any mundane metal you please. Lay off and go play with your happy meals.
Even with 100% filll and if it would print properly it would still not be worth 1 star.

Change the parameter "SIZE" to get other sizes. All other values are derived from it.
M4 may already be too much to ask for in a 3d printer but the larger
ones should perform their function for light to medium duty.

Perhaps the reason "noone has done these trivial tools yet" is that this would be completely worthless on a metal hex bolt?
M8 and M5 and some stranged imperial one where you can't get anything that fits
worked well enough as an emergency tool on a sunday here, thank you.
They are not useful to pull things really, really tight but at 2-3min of printing time they worked
well enough to keep the printer running until the next week day.
