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 Imperial Inch Hexagonal sockets (6 points) and Bi-Hexagonal sockets (12 points). (You can use the 6 points model on 12 points sockets obviously)

There is another model for metric dimensions here : [https://makerworld.com/en/models/1196279-hexagonal-socket-identification-tag-label#profileId-1208962](https://makerworld.com/en/models/1196279-hexagonal-socket-identification-tag-label#profileId-1208962)

The sizes available are as follow :

• First Plate : 5/32 to 3/8 (beware those one will be just barely readable with a 0.4 nozzle) then 7/16 to 1-1/4 (0.4mm nozzle is ok for those)
• Second Plate  from 5/32 to 3/8 (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 5/32 to 3/8 at least) will benefit from a small 0.2 nozzle (I would say it is mandatory below 1/4)

Result comparison bellow (sorry I did not took pictures of imperial tags), for reference the 11/32 socket is similar to the 5.5 socket shown here
