Description
This is a small printable Makerbot Wrench/Spanner that I designed in Blender. I do not yet own a 3D printer so I don't know how well it will print, it seemed to slice fine in Skeinforge despite not being manifold. I saw Oliva's blog post on the MakerBot blog about the Charm Challenge for Maker Faire so I thought this would be a nice and easy thing to print.
Instructions
The GCODE file was produced with the latest version of ReplicatorG (whichever Skeinforge version it ships with) using the default ABS profile. I just wanted to see if it would slice, you are probably better off slicing it yourself though.

I tried printing it.
Went great until it got to the "MakerBot" text on top. Ended up depositing a lot of excess plastic.
But that may just be me as I still have a bit of fine tuning to do.

It isn't exactly manifold on the makerbot text... It appears the text is intersecting the wrench and making a hollow layer. But it still prints great. :)
