Extrusion Profile Crate Toolbox
Created 3 days ago
Description
A robust toolbox frame designed around the structural geometry of aluminum extrusions.
- Base Frame: Uses thick 4040 profile models to provide a heavy, stable foundation.
- Upper Structure: Uses standard 2020 profile models for the upright posts, crossbeams, and the central carrying handle.
- Storage Tub: A fully enclosed 3mm-walled bin that locks securely into the inner 6mm T-slots of the extrusions.
- Hardware: Includes low-profile foot pads and fitted end caps to blank off the raw extrusion cuts.

Packout M18 Router Insert
What it's for A custom drop-in tray engineered to convert a half-section of a Standard Milwaukee Packout Organizer into a dedicated M18 router station. It features a contoured cradle for the router body with its battery attached, a wide pocket for the base plate, a large accessory bay for the edge guide and wrench, and a 12-slot storage grid for 1/4-inch shank router bits. Scalloped finger pulls make it easy to lift the router out. Dimensions Footprint: 280 mm × 200 mm Height: 60 mm Bit Storage: 12 holes, 7.2 mm diameter (for easy clearance of standard 1/4" shanks) Print notes Given the large 280 mm length, this will require a reasonably large print bed. A robust infill (15–20% gyroid) is recommended to support the weight of the tool. The design rests entirely flat on the build plate and requires no supports.
Industrial Pipe and Fittings
A modular set of pipe fittings featuring a 10-inch straight rod, a perpendicular tee joint, and a straight coupling. Each piece is built around a standard 3/4-inch core diameter with robust 4mm walls to withstand practical shop use. 10-Inch Rod: Basic structural member, printed flat for optimal layer strength. Tee Joint: Three-way connector with matching bore. Straight Coupling: 60mm sleeve for joining lengths end-to-end.
Heavy-Duty C-Bracket
A straightforward C-shaped bracket or spacer profile, built flat for easy printing and structural strength. Perfect as a spacing jig, edge clamp base, or structural tie. Remix Hooks Thickness (10 mm): The defining parameter. Bump it to 12 mm or 15 mm if you need stiffness for heavier loads. Notch Depth (65 mm): Dictates how deep the bracket bites. Edge Treatment: Currently sharp for exact alignments, but easily chamfered if you'll be handling it frequently. Mounting: Ripe for adding countersunk bolt holes through the 25 mm tabs.
Stud-Saddle Drop Shelf
A heavy-duty drop shelf designed to wrap a standard 2x4 wall stud. The main bed splits into two pieces for easy printing on a standard bed, locking together with precision alignment dowels. A central support leg drops down directly into a face-mounted stud bracket to hold heavy loads flat. No-Support Printing: The main plates are oriented perfectly flat off the bed. Locked-In Support: The drop leg features a tubular bottom that seats perfectly into a cupped bottom bracket, preventing lateral slip. Hardware Needed: A few 6mm rod pins for the hinges, and standard countersunk wood screws for the brackets.
Machined-Style NPT Blow Gun Nozzle v4
An air compressor adapter designed to interface a 1/4" NPT blow gun with a precise 3mm outer-diameter nozzle. The part features a clean, support-free geometry that steps inward as it prints, transitioning smoothly from a 14mm hex base up through the threads, capping off with a reinforced 1mm fillet at the base of the delicate tip. Print and Application Notes Print Orientation: Prints exactly as oriented (hex base flat on the bed). No supports are required for the threads, ceiling, or nozzle. Sealing: The threads are rendered straight rather than tapered—wrap with a couple of layers of PTFE thread tape to ensure a tight pneumatic seal when threading into the metal gun. Material: PETG or ABS is highly recommended over PLA to handle the pressure spikes and avoid brittleness at the tiny 1mm bore tip.
1/4" NPT Golf Grip Air Adapter v2
Adapter to mate a 1/4" NPT air compressor blow gun directly to a golf club grip vent hole. Uses a 16mm hex drive for tightening. Fitment Notes Mating Surface: 1/4" NPT female blow gun ports. The model uses a straight 18 TPI thread (13.5mm OD) that relies on Teflon tape to seal against the tapered female bore. Output: 3mm OD nipple, 4mm long. Backed by a 3mm conical shoulder to prevent snapping under pressure. Bore: 1mm continuous air channel. Check this after printing — a 1mm FDM hole will likely need clearing with a wire or a 1mm drill bit before it flows air properly.
