Machined-Style NPT Blow Gun Nozzle v4
Created 1 months ago
Description
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.

Flat Ground Plate 45x42x2 mm with Tabs
Flat 45 × 42 × 2 mm ground plate with two side tabs on the front 45 mm edge and two small blocks on the back edge. Overall width across the tabs is 50.4 mm. Plate: 45 × 42 × 2 mm, sharp edges Side tabs: 1.4 mm thick, flush with the underside, 50.4 mm overall span Back blocks: 1.5 mm wide, 1 mm thick, 1.5 mm protrusion, 5 mm from each side edge Print flat, no supports needed
サーボソケット
A servo can't turn a valve knob without a socket that grips it, and a loose fit slips under torque. This cylindrical socket slides onto the knob from the bottom and keeps the top face flat and closed for a future servo horn. Key numbers Body: 30 mm diameter, 14 mm tall, chamfered edges Cavity depth: 10 mm, opening only on the bottom face Opening at the bottom: 2.6 mm × 16.7 mm, widening to 4.5 mm × 16.7 mm at the inner end Clearance: 0.15 mm per side, with rounded corners and slightly bowed long walls Top wall: 4 mm solid, with no screw or mounting holes Printing: open face down on the bed, no supports needed; the wall slope is about 5° from vertical Cavity size, taper, corner radius and clearance are all adjustable parameters
Bracelet Link Fit Gauge Block
A bracelet repair print that turns out too tight or too loose wastes hours. This fit gauge block is a 15-minute test piece that checks the fork slot and pin bores before the real part gets printed. Key numbers Block: 14 x 32 x 6 mm, origin at center, 1.2 mm edge fillets Fork slot: 5.2 mm wide, 12 mm deep, open at the -Y end, flat end wall at Y = -4 Prongs: 4.4 mm wide each Bores: Ø1.6 along X at Y = -10 (through both prongs) and Y = +10 (solid section) Tongue sample: 4.4 x 4.6 mm, 8 mm long on the +Y end, 0.9 mm end fillets, Ø1.6 bore at Y = +19 (40 mm overall) Printing Flat on the bed, PLA or PETG, 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layers 4+ walls, 100% infill, 3 mm brim, no supports, 40 mm/s or slower Ream both bores once by hand with a 1.5 mm drill bit Checks A bracelet tongue link should enter the slot with slight friction. An original pin should slide through the -Y bore.
Tape Spindle and Zip Tie Bench Caddy
Bench caddy that keeps a tape roll and a bundle of zip ties in one fixed spot on the bench. A 24 mm spindle holds a roll with a 25 mm core. A serrated tear bar runs along the front edge so tape can be pulled across the teeth and torn. A block on the right has three slots for zip ties up to 90 mm long. Specs Base: 150 × 100 × 5 mm plate with 1.5 mm chamfered edges Spindle: 24 mm diameter, about 46 mm tall, with a 34 mm foot and a 30 mm top flange. Sized for a 25 mm core with 1 mm clearance. Tear bar: 70 mm long, 4 mm thick wall with 14 serrated teeth. It sits along the front (-Y) edge, beside the spindle. Tie trough: 34 × 100 mm block, 28 mm tall, with three 6 mm wide slots, each 90 mm long, in a row across X. Overall height: about 54 mm, measured at the top of the spindle flange. Material: PLA or PETG. Print flat on the base with no supports. Notes Fit has not been tested against a physical roll. If the roll is tight on the spindle, reduce the spindle diameter slightly. Slot width suits standard narrow zip ties. Wider ties need wider slots.
Sleeve — 0.385" OD Spacer Tube
Sleeve is a plain, precise hollow cylinder sized in inches: a straight-through bore and a clean outer wall, ready to use as a spacer, bushing or standoff. Dimensions Outer diameter: 0.385" (9.78 mm) Inner diameter: 0.26" (6.60 mm) Length: 0.75" (19.05 mm) Wall thickness: about 0.0625" (1.59 mm) Print notes Print standing on end, no supports needed. Bore may print slightly tight; ream or scale up a touch if fit matters.
69 mm Round Spacer, 5 Holes
A round spacer 69 mm in diameter and 10 mm tall with a 40 mm center bore and five 5.5 mm through-holes on a 54 mm bolt circle. Outer diameter: 69 mm Height: 10 mm Center hole: 40 mm Bolt holes: 5 × 5.5 mm on a 54 mm circle Hole spacing: 68°, 72°, 72°, 68°, 80° (the 80° gap is between the last and first hole) Prints flat with no supports
