Eccentric Cam Twist-Lock Prototype
Created 1 months ago
Description
A three-piece prototype demonstrating an internal cam-based locking mechanism for telescoping poles. The inner tube carries an eccentric spool on its tip; twisting the handle forces the captive cam outward against the walls of the outer tube to lock the extension at any length.
Mechanism Notes
- Offset: The spool is offset by 1.5 mm, which translates to a full lock within roughly a 15 to 20-degree twist.
- Guide Rail: The outer tube features an internal rail. The cam is slotted to ride this rail (preventing it from turning), while the inner tube has a wide 90-degree channel cut out so it can rotate freely past the rail.
- Assembly: Slide the inner tube up through the outer tube until the spool clears the top, snap the cam onto the spool sideways via its keyhole slot, and pull the whole assembly back down into the housing.

Embroidery Hoop Clearance Frame
A single-piece clearance frame for testing fabric fitment against the dimensions of the Brother SA431 / EF61 small embroidery hoop. Designed for FDM printing as a rigid, continuous ring, it skips mounting hardware in favour of a plain profile for preliminary dimensional checks. Inner clearance: 50 mm × 38 mm Overall footprint: 60 mm × 48 mm Frame width: 5 mm uniform wall Thickness: 4 mm Z-height
Hoof Evener Thumb Ring
A low-profile thumb ring designed to friction-fit onto the center support of a hoof-evener ruler. The ring is split to flex over a variety of thumb sizes while keeping the geometric center locked perfectly inline with the measurement zero-point. Remix Hooks Thumb clearance: Currently set to an inner diameter of 22mm. The 5mm split opening allows for expansion, but the base diameter is the first thing to dial in for a specific hand. Strut channel: The rear mounting slot is sized for a 12.5mm × 4.5mm vertical support. Adjust this block to match the actual sheet metal or printed strut of the evener. Locking hole: A 3.3mm pilot hole runs through the back wall. Drive an M4 set screw or short bolt through it if the friction fit over the strut needs extra bite.
montre
What it's for A 3D-printable watch case modelled on dive-watch proportions. Features a scalloped rotating-style bezel with minute markers, a fine threaded base for the case back, and integrated lugs for a standard watch strap. The inner cavity tapers to secure a movement, with a lip cut for a domed crystal. Dimensions Overall Case: 42 mm diameter Inner Cavity: 41 mm base, tapering to 40.4 mm at the dial Lugs: Spaced for a 20 mm strap Crystal Seat: 41.4 mm diameter, 1 mm deep Stem Hole: 1.1 mm diameter at the 3 o'clock position Threads: 0.5 mm pitch, matching case back included Print notes The case back uses a very fine 0.5 mm thread pitch. This requires a well-calibrated printer and low layer heights (0.12 mm or finer) to print cleanly. You may need to scale the case back slightly on the X and Y axes depending on your printer's tolerances.
Zauberstab Verschluss 2.4
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
Split-Span Laser Gantry
A modular laser mounting gantry spanning an exact 330mm width. Built for smaller print beds, the two-piece frame locks together in the centre with a clearance-tuned puzzle joint that draws the span tight when seated. Adjustments & Tolerances The Joint: 0.5mm clearance around the jigsaw neck. Best printed flat to put layer strength along the span. The Slider: Sits exactly over the seam and locks down with an M4 tap bolt through the top. Laser Mount: Single 6.5mm hole on the face block, ready for standard laser unit clamps. Table Mount: Four 5.5mm mounting holes positioned straight down through the feet for screwing straight into your baseboard.
Anello Frazionato da Palo
Un anello di spessoramento diviso a metà, progettato per essere montato attorno a un palo da 137 mm di diametro. Profilo: Parete spessa 3 cm Fori: Quattro fori passanti verticali, diametro 4 mm, disposti in quadrato con lato 121 mm Assemblaggio: Spaccato centralmente per consentire l'installazione su tubi e pali esistenti senza doverli sfilare. Utile per creare spessori o basi su tubolari in metallo o PVC.
