3D-printed solution for removing pins in VEX IQ

VEX IQ General Discussion
1

At our school, several of our official VEX IQ pin pullers broke, and we didn’t have a good replacement available.

I designed a 3D-printed pin puller / multitool

to help remove VEX IQ pins and handle common build issues. The goal was to make something easy to print, durable enough for regular use, and simple to replace if it breaks.

The design includes multiple tools (pin pullers and a wedge) and is modular so the tools can be arranged as needed. It prints without supports and in under an hour.

I’m sharing it here in case it’s useful to other teams, and I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvements.

This looks great! Which printer did you use?

I used a p1s for this print.

What filament type/brand?

6

I used pla but I think it would be possible to print with petg if you dried the filiment out

Y’all you and @snw have the exact same profile pic so it always looks like your replying to yourself… Just something to think about… It looks like @WongTeam_5020D even has a different pic… lets just think about that…
