A wrench for loosening the locknut on older style bottom brackets.
I printed in PLA at 70% infill. First I sprayed locknut with some WD40, then I took a screwdriver and placed it in one of the notches and hammered a few times (in the direction of loosening the nut). Then I used the wrench.
I snapped one wrench that was printed at 20% infill, and then decided to do the WD40 + screwdriver + wrench approach.
You should print the test stl first to see if the dimensions work for you. If not I've included the openscad file so you can tweak everything.
