Banded-Spine Dust Adapter
Created 1 months ago
Description
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.

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
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.
Brutalist Framing Outer Clamp
A monolithic, brutalist-inspired L-block designed to enforce exact ninety-degree angles on unruly lumber. Engineered specifically to cure the dreaded parallelogram effect in picture framing, this outer squaring jig cradles two boards firmly against its orthogonal walls while the glue sets. Design Notes: Oversized Clamp Cutouts: Generous 44mm slots on each arm easily accommodate standard bar clamps. Glue Relief Vertex: A central circular cutout ensures escaping squeeze-out never fuses the project to the jig. Rigging Anchor: A central tie-down hole offers a secondary strap point for complicated assemblies.
Brutalist Saddle Bench Anchor
Rising from the workbench like a brutalist saddle, this monolithic cloven block transforms a standard 20mm dog hole into a firm cradle for unpredictable geometries. The heavy, geometric V-cut cleft is engineered to catch and stabilize rolling stock—dowels, metal pipes, or turning components—locking them dead-center against clamping pressure. By sinking a steep peg below the benchline, the fixture acts as an immovable anvil for holding cylindrical parts during routing, carving, or sanding tasks. Fixture Geometry The Cleft: A 90-degree notch spans the entire 50mm crown, dropping deep into the block to maximize surface contact on cylinders. The Root: The 30mm anchor peg is tuned to a 19.8mm diameter and features a tapered tip, ensuring a smooth plunge into 20mm bench holes while allowing just enough clearance to prevent binding. Bed Orientation: Invert the block so the flat top face sits flush against the build plate, allowing the entire model to print completely support-free.
Ergonomic Quarter Sheet Sanding Block
An ergonomic hand tool designed to securely hold standard quarter-sheet abrasive paper for manual surface finishing. The integrated grip assembly is sculpted to reduce fatigue during extended work periods. What it's for Securely clamps a standard quarter sheet of sandpaper (140 x 115mm) using a wedge-and-channel system on the underside. Incorporates a curved palm grip to evenly distribute pressure across the hand. Features scalloped finger ridges along the sides to prevent hand cramps during prolonged, 20-minute-plus sanding sessions. Dimensions Base footprint: 135 x 110mm. Paper clearance: Leaves exactly enough margin for a 140 x 115mm sheet to wrap around the edges and tuck into the lower channels. Overall height: Sized to fill the palm naturally without forcing an aggressive claw grip. Remix ideas Alter the depth and spacing of the finger ridges to perfectly match different hand sizes or glove thicknesses. Modify the locking wedges to accommodate significantly thicker or thinner backing materials, such as heavy fabric-backed abrasives or delicate finishing films. Add an extended pommel or secondary thumb rest for heavy material removal tasks.
53mm Spool Hub, 8mm Rod
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
