Piano Key Drill Index
Created 23 days ago
Description
Sweeping upward in a measured crescendo, this curved bit index arranges thirteen metric drill bits in an escalating semi-circle. Taking its silhouette from the staggered keys of a piano or the tiered architecture of a classical amphitheatre, the stepped block keeps each bit distinctly visible and accessible, transforming a standard workshop necessity into a sculptural display.
Design Harmonics
- Measured progression: Accommodates thirteen metric sizes from 1.0mm to 7.0mm in 0.5mm increments.
- Clearance envelope: Each vertical shaft is oversized by 0.3mm, allowing bits to seat smoothly without rattling.
- Quick reference: Crisp, embossed numerical markings sit at the base of every tier for instant identification.
The sweeping curve naturally fans the fluted steel outward, providing ample finger clearance when reaching for even the smallest diameters.

Fanned Metric Drill Bit Index
A stepped index block for storing and organizing metric drill bits. The layout features a sweeping, fanned curve that arranges the bits in ascending order, ensuring quick access and clear visibility on the workbench. Holds 13 metric drill bits from 1.0mm to 7.0mm in 0.5mm increments. Arranges mounting slots in a fanned curve resembling piano keys. Features clear, embossed size labels next to every slot. Includes a built-in 0.3mm diametric clearance so bits drop in easily without rattling. The solid stepped base ensures the index remains stable while inserting or removing tools, creating a highly organized and identifiable tool storage block.
ShelfAlign — Indexing Drill Guide
Get perfectly spaced, straight shelf pin holes in any cabinet carcass with ShelfAlign. Designed for continuous drilling, this guide allows cabinet makers and DIYers to easily expand shelving layouts. The built-in indexing peg locks into the previously drilled hole to ensure infinite, perfectly aligned runs, while the integrated edge fence sets the perfect setback distance every time. Features Continuous Indexing: A built-in placement peg on the underside allows for seamless, perfectly spaced chains of holes over any length. Standard Spacing: Precision-placed guide holes at the industry-standard 1 1/4" (31.75mm) cabinet intervals. Edge Alignment: The integrated side fence automatically maintains a consistent setback from the cabinet edge. Ready for Expansion: At 300mm long, it covers substantial ground while remaining easy to print and handle. Print Notes Print flat on the build plate for the best layer adhesion and dimensional accuracy. Use a minimum of 3 to 4 wall perimeters. The extra walls help the drill guide holes resist wear from the flutes of the drill bit. Tougher materials like PETG, ABS, or ABS-like resins are recommended for longevity, though PLA works fine for one-off projects.
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.
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
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.
