Clinical Auto-Retracting Tape Mount
Created today
Description
A functional, single-piece, print-in-place wrist mount for an oval retractable tape measure, designed specifically for clinical nerve conduction studies.
This iteration adds two key features requested by the clinician:
- Captive Retention: The top lip now has a deep 2.5mm overhang, completely trapping the tape measure so it cannot fall out during active movement. The side scallops were raised to keep the lip rigid and continuous.
- Auto-Retract Cantilever: The floor features an integrated, FDM-compliant C-shaped flexure tongue holding a 4.5mm domed pressure pad. When the tape measure is snapped in, this boss continuously depresses the central retract button, allowing the user to simply pull the tape out and let go for immediate automatic retraction.
Setup and Usage
Snap the 65×59mm tape measure in button-side down. Thread a standard 20mm or 22mm fabric strap through the side loops for a comfortable, non-restrictive fit on the forearm. Prints flat on its base without supports.

Side-Pinned Click Lock 2 40-Quarter Dispenser
What it's for A fully mechanical, gravity-fed coin magazine tailored for standard U.S. quarters. It stores a full $10 roll vertically and dispenses exactly $1 (four quarters) per cycle into the palm of the hand. The mechanism relies on a two-stage sliding escapement, now utilizing a side-mounted limit pin to ensure the coin path remains entirely unobstructed during travel. Dimensions Overall Envelope (Dispenser): 34 × 56 × 75 mm (when closed) Slider Thickness: 7.2 mm Coin Bore: 25.2 mm (optimized for 24.26 mm quarters) Clearances Slider Play: 0.4 mm vertical clearance inside the track Pin Clearance: 0.3 mm on the locking pin diameter Cap Threads: 0.6 mm diametric clearance for smooth twisting Assembly The main body, slider, cap, and limit pin print separately without supports. Insert the slider into the main body track, align the side slot with the right-hand hole on the body, and push the limit pin flush into the side countersink to capture the mechanism. Remix ideas Threaded Cap: The top of the magazine tube features a coarse 4mm-pitch thread. Alter the tube height to make a shorter 20-coin version. Coin Bore: Tweak the internal offset diameter for other currencies or custom arcade tokens. Slider Thickness: Scaling the Z-dimension alters how many coins drop per pull.
SumaSlide — Tablero Matemático con Carriles
SumaSlide convierte la abstracción de las sumas con llevadas en un proceso mecánico y tangible. Diseñado con tres vías de deslizamiento fresadas en la base, permite que la ficha del "1" sobrante viaje físicamente hacia arriba y a la izquierda hasta coronar la columna siguiente. Esta versión ajusta la cabecera e incorpora un módulo de test para verificar tolerancias de deslizamiento antes de lanzar el tablero completo. Ajustes y Componentes Pieza de prueba: Tramo corto con curva idéntica a la principal, ideal para comprobar que las fichas fluyen sin atascos. Cabecera rediseñada: Texto encogido y desplazado al borde superior para garantizar un recorrido limpio y seguro. Separación de objetos: Todo está dispuesto en una misma plataforma virtual; divídelo en objetos independientes desde tu fileteador para imprimir por separado.
Zauberstab Verschluss 2.0
Zweiteiliger, hohler zylindrischer Testkörper zur Prüfung von FDM-Toleranzen. Beide Teile verfügen über eine geschlossene Außenwand und schließen bündig ab. Feste Abmessungen: Außen 30.8 mm, Innen 21.8 mm Mindestwandstärke: 1.5 mm im kritischen Bereich der Nuten Mechanismus: Bajonettverschluss mit Arretierungsnocke gegen unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen Druckbar: Ohne Stützstrukturen, flach auf dem Druckbett positioniert
60mm OD Flanged 45° Pipe
60mm outer diameter flanged pipe with a 45-degree elbow. Features a continuous 56mm inner bore with a 2mm wall thickness. The 100mm OD flange is positioned exactly 30mm from the base and runs 3mm thick. Check your clamp or mating collar against the flange thickness and 100mm outer diameter. No mounting holes are drilled; this part is built for bonded or slip-fit assemblies where the 56mm internal passage must remain entirely unobstructed.
Matix Snap-Fit Test Frame
Un piccolo frammento della scatola principale, isolato e progettato per essere stampato velocemente. Serve per testare fisicamente l'inserimento e lo scatto del frutto BTicino Matix prima di impegnare ore nella stampa del pezzo completo. Orientamento fedele: Si stampa in verticale, in modo che le linee di livello (layer) e i ponti della fessura riproducano esattamente le condizioni della scatola finita. Fianchi rigidi: Il profilo a "C" impedisce alla parete di flettere quando premi l'interruttore. Risparmio: Pochi grammi di filamento per verificare le tolleranze di aggancio.
Base de Impresión Plana
Una placa base de impresión y referencia extremadamente delgada y plana. Dimensiones totales de 55 × 87,5 mm. Espesor constante de 1,5 mm. Agarre integrado en forma de ranura pasante. Ubicación de la ranura a exactamente 2 mm del borde corto, manteniendo el perfil sin salientes. Esquinas ligeramente redondeadas para facilitar la impresión y manipulación.
