I wanted to make a relatively cheap tool that can do this. Normally a tool like this can go from anywhere between $10-20 but since it has a relatively small window of use, it is not often purchased. This project was designed for people that cannot afford a more expensive version of this tool as printing this in PLA is approx. $2.00\n\n== Bill of Materials ==\n\n# Total two parts made in OpenSCAD. Total ~150 grams of filament\n## Cornering Tool\n## Handle\n# All files posted at: [https://www.youmagine.com/designs/wall-cornering-tool | Youmagine Link]\n\n== Tools needed ==\n\n# [[Athena Build Overview|MOST Delta RepRap]] or similar RepRap 3-D printer\n\n== Skills and knowledge needed ==\n\n* None, just connect the two pieces together as shown in the picture.\n\n== Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions ==\n\n# Printing Instructions:\n## Print Speed: 60 mm/s\n## Fill Density: 25%\n## Layer Height:.15 mm\n## Support Type: Touching build plate, ONLY FOR THE HANDLE\n## Platform Adhesion Type: Glue stick\n# Print time: ~13 Hours, 8 hours for the main part, 5 for the handle\n# Assembly Instructions:\n## Connect the two pieces as shown in the picture above.\n## Assembly time: 1 minute\n\n=== Common Problems and Solutions ===\n\n* Be careful removing the main Cornering Tool piece from the glass bed. Use an exacto-knife and carefully remove to not break the glass.\n* Be sure to use sufficient adhesive on the glass bed so that the main Cornering Tool piece does not have its edges bow upwards.\n\n== Cost savings ==\n\n# Total Material Amount: 200 grams\n# Estimated Cost: ~ $1.50 depending on filament price\n# Commercial Cost: $10-20 [https://web.archive.org/web/20201204200043/https://www.homedepot.com/p/Wal-Board-Tools-4-in-x-3-5-in-Inside-Corner-Tool-82-032/100660205 | Home Depot's Wall Cornering Tool]\n# Total Savings: ~7.50\n\n== References ==\n\n* I wanted to be able to provide a useful semi-luxury tool that is not 100% necessity for construction but is still used quite often to make the insides of buildings look visually appealing.\n* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr-vImEx3UM DIY video showing how to mud and tape drywall corners]\n\n{{Page data\n| keywords = 3D printing, construction, corner trowel, osat, tool, Plastic\n| sdg = SDG09 Industry innovation and infrastructure\n| published = 2016\n| organizations = MTU, Michigan_Tech's_Open_Sustainability_Technology_Lab, MY4777\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| language = en\n}}\n\n[[Category:OSAT 3D-Printable Designs]]\n[[Category:MY4777]]\n[[Category:3D printing]]\n[[Category:Construction]]\n[[Category:Plastic]]"}
