Summary

This is replacement for water filter wrench I have after I revealed it become greater that filter box fins can be secured to properly unscrew the filter box.
The original filter box has 8 fins around with just 1mm flange. The original filter wrench diameter that accounts flanges is 120mm, while this tool has 119mm in the model and about 117-118mm when printed with ABS and then processed according to strengthening procedure. It still fits properly on the filter box fins due to their cone form.
The forces that can be applied to the wrench are high, so use as durable filament as you have got. The expected force to apply is about 30N*m (or ~30kg on the end of the 0.1m handle).
Printer bed 200x200 mm minimum is required to print this wrench (along diagonal).
Weight of the wrench from ABS is 78g vs. the original wrench with its 69g. So it did not waste much more plastic.
PS: The wrench successfully unscrewed the filter with force of 5-10kg applied to the handle. :) Yes-s-s-s-s!
