Glue-On Skewer Tunnel
Created today
Description
Gluing a stick directly to a flat chassis usually snaps off instantly because there's just no surface area. This low-profile block provides a large flat footprint for chassis adhesion and a deep horizontal tunnel to keep the skewer locked perfectly straight.
Fitment
- Skewer tunnel: 3.2 mm diameter, runs horizontally front-to-back.
- Footprint: 12 mm wide by 25 mm long, perfectly flat for double-sided tape or CA glue.
- Print ready: Prints flat as oriented, no supports needed.

Retro TV Enclosure for No-Solder RP2040 Builds
A two-piece retro TV shell designed to house a no-solder RP2040 video player. The clamshell locks together with a built-in snap fit, offering exactly 150×80×50mm of internal space. Both halves print flat on the bed without supports. Front Bezel: Features a sloped CRT-style screen cutout with an internal ledge for a 2.8" display, twin 7mm dial holes, and integrated speaker vents. Back Shell: Includes a bottom-edge USB-C cutout and classic rear cooling vents. Snap Fit: A 4mm friction lip with interlocking bumps holds the enclosure securely together.
Space Command Console Toy
The keyboard belongs to you. The TV remote belongs to you. The oven dials are strictly off limits. But they still want to press buttons, and everything they reach for has a consequence. This console solves that. It’s a chunky, slanted control panel built to take a hammering. The throttle is a captive slider that prints fully in place—no assembly, just crack it loose and it glides. The giant red and green buttons sit on thin printed hinges, giving them enough flex to feel like a real press without needing actual springs or hardware. The dials and radar screen are solid topographic features that add tactile feedback without weak points. Printing Notes Dimensions: The base fits squarely on a 180x130mm footprint. Print-in-Place Clearance: The slider runs in an internal T-slot with a generous 0.5mm clearance on all sides, making it easy to free up on almost any FDM machine. Orientation: Designed to sit entirely flat on the build plate. The 13-degree slope of the panel is built into the geometry, so the internal bridges and tracks print parallel to the bed. Settings: Standard 0.2mm layer heights work beautifully. Three perimeters recommended to keep the compliant button hinges tough.
Utilitarian Chassis Flight Skids
This lightweight hardware suite is designed for custom chassis builds, keeping the overall footprint low while providing a sturdy base. The components are arranged flat on the build plate for easy, support-free fabrication. Flight Hardware The Deck: A 50×55 mm central mounting plate. It features a solid 2 mm deck surrounded by a 3 mm retaining wall, ideal for corralling electronics or batteries. The Skids: Twin 50 mm long landing legs. They have been heavily cored out to reduce mass, leaving just a rugged 3 mm footprint and sturdy outer struts to handle hard landings.
160mm Wheelbase Truck Chassis
Base structure for the Moroccan Unity Day modular parade truck. Built to carry standard 6mm axle rods and accept top-deck cabin and cargo payloads. This is a specific-fit frame, not a universal runner. Check the axle bore and mounting distances before committing filament: Axle Bores: 6.3mm teardrop channels, printed horizontally. Fits 6mm rod axles with 0.3mm clearance. Wheelbase: 160mm exactly. Deck Mounts: Eight 5.3mm bores spaced for the matching Unity Day cabin and cargo blocks (5mm locating pegs). Overall Footprint: 270mm x 105mm x 25mm. Prints top-down or bottom-up depending on your preference for bridging, but the internal grid is fully pocketed to drop weight while keeping the deck rigid. Minimum wall thickness is locked at 2.5mm for an easy two-wall pass on a 0.4mm nozzle.
12mm Hex Parade Truck Wheel
A 70x25 mm solid front wheel designed to mate with a standard 12 mm RC hex drive. Built as a single rugged piece, it combines a deep-block tire tread with a solid structural hub to handle the weight of larger FDM parade and display builds. Fitment Specs Drive Interface: 12 mm standard RC hex (6 mm deep pocket) Axle Bore: 5.2 mm clearance hole Outer Dimensions: 70 mm OD × 25 mm width Printing: Flat on the hex face, no supports required.

Model truck wheels usually snap at the hub or require a nest of supports just to print the rims. This one prints entirely flat on the bed, bridging cleanly across the inner rim recess, with treads chunky enough to actually grip rough surfaces instead of spinning out. Specifications Diameter: 80 mm Width: 30 mm Axle: 8 mm hex shaft Print orientation: Flat on its side (no supports needed)
