This is a simple press roller used for the glued seams of latex fashion.
I made this because I couldn't buy one locally, and had to get mine off ebay with a 2 week wait. Teaching a friend latex making, I figured by having a 3d printer he could get such a tool in his kit a bit quicker. And it's not bad quality either.
A few things you should know for a good print;
1. Print at 70% infill or greater. These tools are used with a bit of pressure for a good quality seam on your latex.
2. You'll need two screws. I used a couple of spare screws sitting on my desk without problems. 10mm length, 3mm thick. You can use self tappers or bore out a thread yourself with a drill. Use longer screws if you like. I allowed for 15mm screws to be used.
3. Print the presser and the axle with a brim. Bed adhesion sucks on long narrow things. It's worth the extra time you'll take sanding off the bed adhesion.
ASSEMBLY: Use fine sandpaper to clean up all the components. Stick the axle in
