Description

Hit things in style with THWACK! A 3D-printed plastic hammer.

This lean, mean, ball-peen is ready for your general clobbering needs! And while it won't drive a galvanized nail into a pressure-treated fence-post, it will dutifully bludgeon interior nails, bang tight-fitting objects together, annoy individuals with experimental jazz percussion and acceptably intimidate others when held menacingly.

UPDATE(s)!

V2 - The peen has facets now to promote better printing at smaller scales and in general.

sudo THWACK - a request from Vik, this is useful for executing "bash" commands.

Instructions

Scale to desired size (if you want) and print!

I strongly recommend at least eight shells and 100% in-fill.

Me no speaky IPT, but how hard is it to make a derivative with  "sudo" in lower case terminal font on it? If a pain, let me know and I'll do it with more brutal graphics tools :)

I like the way you think.

I can't think of a more appropriate tool to execute a "bash" command than a hammer.  And the divine authority of "sudo" only makes it more "impacting."I'll upload the file this weekend.

Nice, I love the idea. What software did you use to render the images? It looks very clean and professional.

ErikJDurwoodII on November 13, 2012 said:

Thanks!  I used Autodesk 3D Stuio MAX to render the images  with the V-Ray rendering engine.

I like the arrow at the top, telling the user that either end can be struck.  ... for those as "dumb as a hammer." ;-)

Make a cavity for a very large threaded bolt and you've got yourself a real hammer. You could even have the threaded end protrude from the "peen" side and grind it round.

ErikJDurwoodII on November 13, 2012 said:

That is a good idea!  For those who don't want to bother with bolts or grinding, maybe I'll also make one that accepts a coin or something as a striking surface...

Hmmm...

Is this printable?

ErikJDurwoodII on November 13, 2012 said:

I'm printing one right now to check it out.  As long as your printer can ooze a bridge well enough, I don't see an issue.

I'll let you know!
