Eldosa — Distribution Enclosure
Created today
Description
An electrical distribution and breaker box built for modular wiring. It features dedicated routing channels running alongside a raised central mounting boss, keeping cables neatly separated from the active components.
The box relies on a simple, robust knuckle hinge designed to take a piece of 1.75mm filament as the pin.
Features
- Inputs & Outputs: Three large 16mm inputs on the left flank, and five 12mm output holes on the right.
- Internal Routing: Twin divider walls keep power runs clean and separated from the main breaker rail.
- Hinge Design: Alternating 24mm knuckles on the box and lid mate tightly. Slide a bit of standard 3D printer filament through the 2.4mm bore to link them together.
- Signage: Raised "ELDOSA" lettering on the top cover.
Print notes
Print both parts flat on the bed. No supports are needed for the box's side holes if your printer handles bridging well, though you can add them if you prefer perfectly round cutouts. Ensure your bottom layer isn't heavily squished, or you may need to ream out the hinge holes with a 2mm drill bit before inserting the filament pin.

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.

Channel — Micro U-Profile
A precision micro U-channel profile built to exact specifications. Designed as an inverted U-shape, it features consistent 2mm wall thickness throughout. Dimensions Width: 8 mm Total Depth: 6.5 mm (yielding a 2.5 mm internal channel) Total Height: 9.5 mm Wall Thickness: 2 mm on both verticals and the top span Print notes Prints easily in its current orientation with no supports required. A slight 0.2mm chamfer has been applied to the outer top edges to eliminate sharp corners.
Heavy-Duty Strap Tension Lock
A heavy-duty tension lock (tri-glide slider) sized perfectly for standard 50mm (2-inch) nylon webbing. This single-piece buckle uses a reinforced and raised center bar to ensure high friction, keeping straps tightly locked under load. Key Features Perfect Fit: 51mm internal width to give thick duty straps just enough clearance. Aggressive Grip: Three raised cylindrical ridges span the center bar to bite into the woven nylon and prevent slow slipping. Heavy-Duty Walls: 6mm thick external walls and a 9mm tall command bar mean this won't snap under tension. No Support Required: Prints entirely flat on the build plate.
