Description

An upright pushing and lifting tool with a flat, circular base and an integrated handle. The open-fronted rim acts as a scoop, making it easy to slide under and pick up small parts.

What it's for

A workshop utility piece meant for lifting items off flat surfaces. The top of the handle is hollowed out, allowing you to friction-fit an extension rod if you need more reach.

Dimensions

  • Overall Height: 160 mm
  • Base Diameter: 80 mm
  • Handle Diameter: 14 mm
  • Extension Socket: 9 mm diameter, 40 mm deep

EGO GutterJet — Elliptical Leaf Blower Extension

EGO GutterJet — Elliptical Leaf Blower Extension

GutterJet is a modular gutter-clearing extension for an EGO leaf blower, built around a single elliptical adapter that slips over the blower tube and transitions into a round, swiveling system. Only the piece that meets the blower stays elliptical; from there everything is circular, so the bends can be rotated to aim the outlet and the whole run can turn without fighting an oval joint. Every round joint indexes every 15°, letting you lock the U-turn or sweep the outlet to a set angle. The set prints as separate pieces that push together and pull apart with a firm tug, and a tapered reducer nozzle narrows the end of the U-turn for a focused blast. What's included Elliptical adapter: a 30 mm elliptical socket, a 40 mm transition from ellipse to circle, and a 30 mm round spigot with an indexing collar. Three straight tubes: 80, 160 and 240 mm, each with a socket on one end and a beaded spigot on the other. Four identical 45° bends that connect into a 180° U-turn with a 120 mm centreline radius. Reducer nozzle: a 30 mm socket that fits the U-tube spigot, a 60 mm taper, and a 20 mm-long straight nozzle with a 76 mm bore (about 4,536 mm² of flow area). Fit and joints The adapter's socket measures 94.4 × 89.4 mm inside, leaving 0.3 mm clearance over a blower tube of 88.5 × 83.5 mm inside diameter and 2.8 mm wall. Round joints pair a 94 mm spigot (89.2 mm bore) with a 94.6 mm socket. Each spigot carries a 0.9 mm bead ring 15 mm back from its tip; each socket has a matching groove 15 mm in from its mouth. The bead has 45° flanks and the groove has matching 45° faces, so the joint eases in and pulls apart cleanly. A 3 mm collar on each spigot carries 24 shallow teeth on its top face, with matching notches in the socket mouth. The joints click every 15°, including at the adapter, straights and bends. The teeth are 1.2 mm tall with a gentle slope for a soft click. The spigot tip stops just short of the inside shoulder, so the collar and socket mouth are the faces that seat against each other. Walls are 2.4 mm throughout, and the bore is slightly larger than the blower's, so airflow is not restricted. The bead ring is the wear point after many snaps. Print notes Print each piece standing on its socket end. The 240 mm tube fits a 260 mm Z build height; the bend pieces are about 170 mm tall. The layout is for preview, not arranged for one plate — print as many straight tubes as needed. For repeated snapping, print the bead rings at 100% infill or slow the outer wall in those areas. The collar on each bend's tilted outlet is a 45° overhang; watch that face when printing. The set has not been fit-tested; check the adapter socket on the blower tube before printing a full set.

SpoolScope — Filament Remaining Gauge

SpoolScope — Filament Remaining Gauge

SpoolScope is a two-part gauge for estimating how much filament remains on a standard spool, made for spools that sit out of easy view in an AMS or on a shelf. The rail hooks over the flange rim; the sliding block rides on it with light detents, so you can push it down until it touches the filament, lift the gauge away and read the result. Raised ticks and numbers plus an unambiguous arrow on the block make the measurement clear without needing line-of-sight while the gauge is in place. Features Two printed parts: a rail with a rim hook, and a detented sliding block. Gram scale from 0 to 1000 g, with ticks every 50 g and numbers every 100 g. Ticks follow filament geometry rather than an even spacing: closer together near full, wider apart near empty. Arrows on the block tip directly toward the scale, and the detents hold the reading after the gauge is lifted off. Hook gap of 4 mm, sized to clear flanges from 2.8 mm to 3.6 mm thick. Dimensions Flange diameter: 200 mm. Hub outer diameter: 95 mm (from a measured Polymaker spool). Full-roll diameter: 170 mm (estimated from a 1 kg PLA roll on a 95 mm hub and a 65.6 mm spool width). Hook gap: 4 mm. Fitting and calibration Sized around Polymaker and Inland 1 kg spools; other brands are worth checking against the hub and flange figures above. The scale can be shifted by a single fixed offset if a first print reads consistently high or low, so a weight check against a known spool is worth doing before trusting the numbers. If the error differs between a full and an empty spool, the hub and full-roll values are the ones to correct. Print notes Both parts are laid out flat on the print plate. The block contacts the filament at its outer edges rather than at the centre, so a reading can sit slightly high; a weight check against a known spool is the best way to confirm the scale.
