The single-piece design uses a snap-over fin mechanism to limit torque to 0.6 Nm, survives 1000+ cycles within spec, and requires no ferrous metal parts. The main drawbacks are a painfully loud 125 dB click on actuation and the requirement for a ~$60,000 SLS printer to produce it, putting it out of reach for most DIYers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
