Rover Rocker-Bogie Linkage
Created 14 days ago
Description
A rigid frame is useless when half the wheels are off the ground. This replaces the solid chassis problem with the exact kinematic linkage used on the Mars rovers, ensuring all six wheels maintain contact over uneven terrain.
The kit is laid out for flat printing without supports and assembles via flanged friction pegs.
Assembly Clearances
- Holes: 8.0 mm
- Pegs: 7.6 mm (0.4 mm clearance for smooth rotation)
- Short Pegs: Connect the chassis to the long rocker arms, and the rocker arms to the smaller bogie arms.
- Long Pegs: Mount the six wheels to the ends of the arms. The flange acts as a built-in washer to keep the wheels from rubbing the linkage.

Red Planet Rover Chassis
A fully articulated, print-in-place scale model capturing the iconic six-wheel stance of off-world explorers. The design relies on the famous rocker-bogie suspension geometry, allowing the wheels to ride over uneven terrain while keeping the main chassis relatively stable. It prints entirely assembled as a single piece. Print Guidelines Clearance: Designed with 0.4mm gaps on all articulating joints. Orientation: Prints directly on its wheels. Support: No supports required. The internal axle caps are conical to bridge cleanly. Post-Processing: Gently work each wheel and pivot arm free after taking it off the bed to break away any tiny stringing inside the joints.
Snap-Fit Poultry Band
A heavy-duty, flex-to-fit poultry leg band designed for easy application on turkeys. Customizing the Fit Band Diameter: Currently scaled for roughly a 1-inch (25.4mm) leg, making it suitable for mature turkeys. Band Width: The height along the leg is half an inch (12.7mm). The Hinge: The back of the ring thins out to 1mm to create a living hinge. You can thicken this if your material is exceptionally soft, or thin it further if you are using a stiffer PLA. The Lock: Features a horizontal bulb snap-fit. The locking pin squeezes through the entry gap and clicks into an enclosed cavity, keeping it secure even during movement. Adjust the bulb diameter or cavity clearance depending on your printer's tolerance.
OO Scale Georgian Townhouse Facade
What it's for A classic Georgian-style townhouse facade designed for OO scale (4mm to 1 foot) model railway backdrops. The model is presented as a flat-pack kit. The main facade features deeply cut ashlar grooving on the ground floor, classic protruding quoins along both edges, and a prominent cornice. To make painting easier, the door and windows are provided as separate, drop-in pieces. Each window features 6-over-6 pane glazing bars, a sturdy lintel, and a sill. The door has six traditional panels and a distinctive triangular pediment. Small 1mm locator blocks on the back of each insert ensure they sit perfectly centered in the facade holes while hiding the seams. Shallow side walls and a roof cap are included to give the facade structure and depth. Dimensions Scale: OO (1:76.2) Facade: 80mm wide by 130mm high Side Walls: 20mm deep Door Opening: 12mm x 28mm Windows: Five large inserts for the ground and first floors; three slightly shorter inserts for the second floor. Assembly Everything prints flat on the bed. Once painted, slide the windows and door into their respective holes in the main facade — the oversized outer frames will overlap the cutouts for a flawless finish. The side walls can be glued flush to the back edges of the facade, and the flat roof slots securely between them.
OO Scale Terrace Houses Half Relief Flat Pack
What it's for A three-house flat-pack terrace kit designed for OO gauge (4mm to the foot) railway modeling. Includes a unified front facade, separate sloped end panels, a tiled roof spanning all three dwellings, and individually printed window and door inserts. The flat-pack layout ensures pristine surface details right off the build plate without relying on supports. Dimensions Total Span: 180 mm wide facade (matching standard OO scale footprints for a terrace trio). Max Height: 85 mm at the rear roof peak. Inserts: Doors scaled accurately to 26 mm tall, with classic 18 mm sash windows. Assembly The main panels feature precision 45-degree mitred edges on the front and sides for seamless corner joints. Interlocking stone quoins wrap neatly around the assembled corners. Print the window and door inserts separately, paint as desired, and secure into the recessed front facade openings.

0.355 to 0.370 Golf Ferrule
Custom transition ferrule designed to mate golf shafts with an adapting taper. Before printing, verify your shaft tip standard. This part spans from a 0.355-inch taper dimension to a 0.370-inch parallel dimension. Critical Measurements: Inner Bore (Bottom): 9.0 mm (0.355") Inner Bore (Top): 9.4 mm (0.370") Outer Diameter: 13.5 mm (0.530") constant Length: 22.0 mm (0.875") Does not fit standard parallel-only 0.370" shafts at the base without binding.
