53mm Spool Hub, 8mm Rod
Created 2 months ago
Description
A hub for mounting 1kg filament reels onto standard 8mm rods. Designed for spools with a 53mm center bore, this adapter provides a flush, stable fit across the inner width of the spool.
The face of the hub features four cutouts between the structural spokes. This open design provides a clear line of sight to the side of the reel, allowing you to estimate remaining filament levels without dismounting the spool from your rack.
Key specifications:
- Fits 1kg spools with a 53mm center bore
- Central channel rides on an 8mm rod
- 65mm overall width matches typical spool dimensions
- Spoked cutouts for easy filament level checks

Round to Rectangular Duct Adapter
A heavy-duty transition duct adapter for shifting airflow smoothly from a round inlet to a rectangular port. Designed with a continuous linear loft and constant 3mm wall thickness to minimize turbulence. Round inlet: 250 mm inner diameter Rectangular outlet: 300 x 220 mm inner dimensions Total height: 200 mm (including 30 mm attachment collars on each end) Wall thickness: 3 mm
Banded-Spine Dust Adapter
A high-traction, banded transition piece engineered to bridge the gap between standard shop vacuums and precision power tools. Its ridged silhouette evokes a segmented mechanical spine, providing a rugged exterior grip while handling rigorous suction demands. The stepped-bore architecture utilizes a 31.5mm outer diameter to nest seamlessly inside a primary 32mm vacuum line, while the 25.5mm internal channel slides definitively over standard power tool exhaust ports. Engineered Flow Traits Clamp-Lock Ribs: Circumferential exterior spines deliver an aggressive mechanical hold for metal hose clamps, practically eliminating slippage under vibration. Arrestor Flange: An integrated mid-line collar acts as a physical backstop, ensuring both hose and tool seat to the strict designated depth. Continuous Draft: The straight internal channel bridges the differing equipment sizes without choking off the volumetric air flow.
32mm to 25mm Vacuum Adapter
A straight adapter designed to connect a 32mm shop vacuum hose to a 25mm power tool dust port. The exterior features raised retention ribs, ensuring a standard hose clamp can grip the adapter securely without slipping under tension or vibration. The geometry incorporates precise dimensional offsets to allow for an immediate friction fit: 31.5mm outer diameter on the vacuum side to slip inside a standard 32mm hose. 25.5mm inner diameter on the tool side to slide smoothly over a 25mm tool port. Raised exterior ridges running along the body for improved hose clamp retention.
Pegboard Utility Knife Holder
A drop-in holder built for standard utility and carpet knives, mounting flush to small-pitch pegboards. A generous front thumb cutout makes retrieval quick, while the three-peg top row distributes the weight. Form & Fit Internal Clearance: Sized at 40x20mm internally to comfortably swallow standard sliding break-off blades. Board Specs: Engineered specifically for 12mm center-to-center grids with 4mm holes. Pegs are 3.6mm to provide an easy slip-fit. Drop Spacing: The lower stabilizing bumpers sit exactly 36mm (three 12mm increments) below the main hooks to align with the board's grid. Orientation: Best printed upright. The 45-degree angle on the hooks easily clears standard overhang rules without supports.
M3 Socket Head Diamond Knob
What it's for A compact thumbscrew knob designed to press-fit or glue onto the head of an M3 socket head cap screw. The closed top provides a clean finish while the heavy diamond knurling ensures excellent grip. Dimensions Overall Size: 12mm diameter × 8mm height Recess: 5.5mm diameter, 3mm deep (sized for an M3 socket head) Knurling: 35-degree pitched V-groove diamond hatch Print notes Print flat on its base. No supports are required. If the bolt head is slightly loose, a drop of CA glue in the recess will lock it in permanently.
Hinged Dragon Injection Mold
Pouring liquid plastics into split molds usually ends with the halves sliding out of alignment, ruining the cast and spilling hot material everywhere. This print-in-place clamshell mold fixes that by locking the halves together with a permanent hinge and alignment pegs, ensuring a perfect seal every time you close it. The internal cavity forms a smooth, undercut-free dragon shape, fed by a top-mounted injection funnel. Air vents run across the parting line to prevent bubbles from trapping in the wings or tail. Mold Specifications Closed Dimensions: 100mm wide x 70mm tall x 30mm thick. Cavity Size: Roughly 45mm x 55mm (scales cleanly). Clearance: 0.5mm on the hinge mechanism — ensure your extrusion multiplier is tuned so the cones don't fuse. Material: Print in PETG or ABS for thermal resistance if injecting warm wax or low-temp thermoplastics; TPU works brilliantly if you need a flexible mold to aggressively demold rigid casting resins.
