Repairing a screwdriver with 3D printing + torque test

Title: Repairing a screwdriver with 3D printing + torque test. Watch on youtube: https://youtu.be/EakLs9ebcZA

Tags: screwdriver, 3dprint, torque, insert object, strength test,

In this video I am repairing a screwdriver but not because I desperately need it, but because of the challenge, I would like to see how big torque can be transmitted between metallic and 3D printed part. I will 3D print a test probes and measure the torque and based on those results I will create a final version. This information will be useful to me, when I am designing other 3D printed parts for attaching to metallic objects (like gears to DC motor shafts).
