Looking for Apeks DST DIN300 Handwheel Cover

[sinidive]

Hi,

The metal handwheel on the DST is hard on my fingers. Want to print a part to fit on top of hand-wheel to make it more finger-friendly.

There exists:

Apeks XTX DIN Handwheel Cover by Vinsanity0

Cover for the metal DIN hand wheel for the Apeks XTX first stage regulator. The sharp edges always tore up my hands when removing the regulator after a dive. Should fit tightly over existing handle. "Tight" version includes thin crush lines to help it hold in place better & resist movement.

But that is for a hand-wheel with 11 ridges, and DIN300 DSTs that I have encountered have a 12 ridge handwheel.

Anyone have a model for this? I'll post one if I end up making one.

That really is a great idea, I thought these wheels seem a bit small, I think

Did you notice, if you don't tighten the wheels like ten men, they still seal

Or like five women

Yes, but after diving (without dry gloves) my skin tends to be really fragile. Don't have the issue with regulators with plastic DIN-wheels.

Keep bleeding occasionally while operating my double-enders

If you are sure it is 12, I'm happy to draft up a design based on the Thingiverse model. I have also found a 3D design in OnShape.com, in the public files, called "Apeks tools". It has 3 lobes on the inside, which looks like it could work for your purposes.

So until then pull the tube out of the pushbike you don't use
so and cut yourself a couple of inch slices and slip them over
