Channel — Micro U-Profile
Created today
Description
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.
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.
Narrow Dyson V11 Crevice Tool
A specialized extension nozzle designed for reaching deep into narrow spaces, such as car seat gaps and tight tracks. The base features a 35.5mm inner diameter sleeve tailored to fit over a 35mm Dyson V11 wand collar, providing a secure friction fit over a 25mm depth to clear standard spring-clip catches. The main body flattens out, while the final 20mm tapers sharply into a thin slot for maximum penetration into cramped areas. Mounting interface: 35.5mm ID, 25mm deep sleeve intended for Dyson V11 mounts. Nozzle profile: Flattens along the shaft, tapering to a highly restricted slot at the tip. Target application: Automotive interior detailing and reaching confined household crevices.
OsteoHinge — Resettable Femur Simulator
This anatomical simulation bone is designed for realistic mechanical training and demonstrations. Modelled at a compact 200mm footprint to suit standard print beds, it features a functional, re-settable fracture mechanism built straight into the main shaft. The midshaft utilises an interlocking V-notch joint tailored for sudden directional failures. By threading elastic shock cord through the central internal channel and tying it off in the polar counterbores, the bone is tensioned. It rests firmly aligned and rigid until lateral force (a "push") hits the threshold, causing the V-notch to ramp open and cleanly hinge to simulate a fracture. Stopping the lateral pressure causes the elastic cord to snap the halves immediately back into the unmarred state. Assembly notes Hardware: Requires one length of 3-4mm elastic shock cord. Tie-down: Feed cord completely through the continuous central bore, stretch for the desired breaking tension, and secure via simple knots. Both ends feature counterbores specifically to hide the tie-offs. Scaling: Feel free to scale the assembly up uniformly to simulate a full adult male femur (~225%), but note you will require a correspondingly wider elastic band.
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.
50mm Rounded 4-Hole L-Bracket
A custom L-bracket with a fully radiused profile at the end of each arm. Built to support structural corners, shelves, or custom frames. Arm Dimensions: 50mm length, 20mm width Thickness: 4mm Mounting: Four 5mm holes total (two per leg), spaced for alignment and balanced load distribution. Profile: Radiused ends to prevent snagging and improve visual clearance.
