Compression Gate Valve Tool Thingy.
I have a few of these older-style hot water, valves in my home. Sometimes theyre in re awkward or difficult-to-reach places and because they haven't been used for a while and are - HARD TO TURN :(
I made this to give a little more leverage when you can't always get your hand around the situation. The tool itself is asymmetrical to allow for your hand to pivot and turn more effectively in a twisting motion.
the 3 prongs should slide into the gaps within the internals of the Valve top giving you more grip.
I've included the 3mf file. I printed this in ASA, and it's designed to be printed support free. If you are worried about bed adhession print it with a raft or a skirt, as well as 4-6 walls for strength in your settings with a 3d fill.
Hopefully, this will help out someone in a pinch with some awkward Valves like me.
