For those mini files we all have. I can make this with a different hole diameter and depth if you'd like. Just let me know.
I have various files from different manufacturers with different sized shafts so I'm uploading 2 sizes for now. I'll add more as requested.
Print vertically without supports.
Assembly:
The hole is 44 mm deep so scribe that on your file first. I found that it's easier to push the metal files in by first grinding down the edge of the shaft to a taper and then putting it on a vice. Hit the metal shaft with a torch or a lighter for a few seconds and then press the handle down onto it until you reach your 44mm scribe mark. You will be melting the plastic a little bit so make sure you go straight. Find a ventilated area to do this.
