Simple tool for installing the Star Fangled Nut on a bicycle fork. Guides the installation straight and sets it at a precise depth of 15 mm.
Print will have a one layer skin across the bolt hole - this is to make it print well. just push your bolt through or use a small file to remove the skin.
Use one M6-1 x 40 mm Hex Head bolt. Push through from top, then thread your star nut all the way on at the bottom.
Slide tool over fork steerer until star nut is resting on the steerer, then drive down with rubber mallet. When the tool bottoms out, simply unscrew and remove. Star nut should be perfectly placed.
