This was based off an old vintage spanner design that a Youtube channel called 'Hand Tool Rescue' made reproductions of.

As a test, I decided to see if I could make a 3D printable version.

***Please note: This has nowhere near the strength of an actual metal (or even solid plastic) spanner, and if you try to use it as an actual spanner, you'll almost definitely snap the threaded section clean in half. You can make it slightly stronger with more infill and wall count, but it's not gonna be much use - it's mostly a proof on concept...***

Settings I used to print mine were at 0.2mm layer height (the smaller the layer height, the better the threads should be in theory) and 25% infill.
The only piece that needs support material is the Top-Jaw section (especially depending on how you intend to print it) - the other 2 parts can be printed without them and still get decent results.
The Nut and Top-Jaw I printed standing vertically, and the handle section I printed laying down.
