It is easy to find small hex drivers, but harder to find small nut drivers/sockets.
This is a simple and fast print that has a nut socket on one side and a hex drive hole on the other. Insert a hex driver in the hex drive hole and you have a simple nut driver. If you size it right (for example, 2.5mm drive hole) you can have an M3 driver and then convert it to an M3 socket.
The customizer will let you adjust the sizes to suit and also has an option to scale and offset your hole sizes if you don't get exact small holes on your interiors.
I suggest a high infill (I used 33%) so they will survive some torque.
If you want to make a permanent one, make the drive hole very tight, heat up the hex driver and push it into the hole so the plastic grabs the drive shaft.
