No longer loose your time searching for the right socket on your bench : just tag them!

This is an easy solution I use to identify my hexagonal sockets : just push the label inside them with your finger or with a screwdriver by pushing on the edges.

The tag will stay in place thanks to its calibrated dimension which has a slight oversize. I have them since more than a year and they does not move at all.

(picture below show the “metric” version" in 6-point “hexagonal” version)

This model is for metric Hexagonal sockets (6 points) and Bi-Hexagonal sockets (12 points). You can use the 6 points model on 12 points sockets.

There is another model for imperial (inch) dimensions here : [https://makerworld.com/en/models/1199765-hexagonal-socket-identification-tag-label-inch#profileId-1212765](https://makerworld.com/en/models/1199765-hexagonal-socket-identification-tag-label-inch#profileId-1212765)

The sizes available are as follow :

• First Plate (more common size) : 4/4.5/5/5.5mm (beware those one will be just barely readable with a 0.4 nozzle) then 6 to 32mm (0.4mm nozzle is ok for those)
• Second Plate (bigger sockets) : from 33mm to 40mm
• Third Plate : from 4mm to 8mm (if you own a 0.2 nozzle, this plate covers only the sizes which will benefit from it)

Printing Notes :
PETG is the recommended material for it (it remains flexible for a long time), but I also had some success with PLA during my tests.

Small sizes (from 4mm to 6mm at least) will benefit from a small 0.2 nozzle (I would say it is mandatory below 5.5mm)
