Self-Centering V-Block Finder
Created today
Description
A precision marking tool designed to locate the exact center of round and square stock. Eliminates the need to eyeball center lines when preparing material for drilling, turning, or joining.
What it's for
- Self-Centering Base: A 90-degree V-groove securely seats the tool on both round dowels and square cuts.
- Tapered Pencil Slot: The marking slot tapers from 6mm down to a 1.5mm slit, physically forcing the pencil lead onto the true center line.
- Corner Relief: The apex of the V-groove includes a circular relief, preventing the sharp corners of square stock from binding.
Dimensions
- Stock Compatibility: Accommodates material widths from 10mm up to 60mm.
- Overall Size: Measures roughly 86mm wide and 90mm long.
- Base Plate Thickness: The main plate is 4mm thick, providing a rigid straight edge.
Remix ideas
- Extend the length of the plate and slot for marking deeper along the stock.
- Widen the V-arms to accommodate larger stock sizes like fence posts.
- Modify the slot taper to perfectly capture a specific mechanical pencil or marking knife.

Inline Screw Driver Retainers
These four independent sleeves snap over the shaft of a screwdriver (or hex bit) and grip the screw from the sides, making overhead installation much safer. The driver bit drops straight through the open top to engage the screw head directly. As the screw bites into the material, the flexible jaws slide back up the driver shaft, releasing the screw automatically without jamming against the ceiling. What it's for Holding screws securely to a driver for overhead work Accommodates four size ranges (1–8 mm screw diameters) Slides freely on the driver shaft as the screw drives home Dimensions Tiny: Fits 1–2.5 mm screws (red) Small: Fits 2.5–4 mm screws (yellow) Standard: Fits 4–6 mm screws (green) Large: Fits 6–8 mm screws (blue) Wall thickness tapers down to ~1.5 mm at the jaws for optimal FDM flexibility. Print notes Print them standing vertically (as oriented) so the layer lines follow the curve of the C-clip. This ensures maximum lateral flexibility when snapping screws in from the side. No supports required.
Biofloc Monitor Station Enclosure
An enclosure is only as good as the snarl of wires it prevents. This is a heavy-duty two-part monitor housing built specifically for FDM printing, designed to group, separate, and anchor a complete suite of biofloc water-quality electronics without turning into a bird's nest inside. The layout isolates the battery compartment at the bottom and keeps the DC buck converters and relay in a ventilated top section, leaving the central deck clear for the ESP32 and an array of sensor interfaces. Internal divider walls double as cable routing channels, forcing the wiring to stay orderly. Core Features Printability: Both halves print completely flat on the build plate (Z=0). The integrated bottom handle is flush with the front face to avoid overhangs. Dimensions: 170 mm width × 250 mm height × 75 mm depth. Hardware Required: 6× M3 screws for the rear cover; additional M3 hardware for the internal standoffs and the 16x2 LCD faceplate mount. Ports: Bottom panel holds 4× sensor ports (3× 8mm, 1× 6mm) with engraved labels. Right panel holds cutouts for 12V DC, an SD card slot, a rocker switch, and USB programming access.
Robust 3-Way Irrigation Manifold
A heavy-duty 1-to-3 splitter manifold designed for 5 mm ID irrigation hose. It prints completely flat on its base without supports, using teardrop-shaped mounting bosses to bridge the overhangs. To meet the structural requirement of 4 solid perimeters on a 5.4 mm outer barb, the internal channel strictly inside the hose stems necks down to 2.6 mm. Inside the thick bosses and the main manifold body, the passages open up to 5 mm and 7 mm respectively to minimize flow restriction. Remix Hooks Barb Spacing & Count: Adjust the port_solid() module to add more barbs or change the spacing for stiffer tubing. Port Layout: Expand the main body length and loop the for(x = ...) call to add 4, 5, or 6 outlets. Mounting: The flat rectangular body leaves plenty of room to cut countersunk screw holes if you need to hard-mount it to a rail or planter box.
20mm V-Notch Bench Dog
A drop-in clamping block designed to secure round stock on a workbench equipped with 20mm dog holes. The top face features a continuous 90-degree V-notch that cradles dowels, pipes, and tubular frames, preventing rotation or slipping during sanding, routing, or assembly. Compatible with standard 20mm workbench dog holes Peg diameter is modeled at 19.6mm to ensure smooth insertion and removal without binding Main clamping block measures 50x50x40mm 30mm peg length resists racking under side-load clamping pressure
4-Inch Block with Hanging Grip
A 4-inch diameter, 2-inch thick solid cylinder block equipped with a 1-inch vertical grip. Built with fully radiused edges to prevent chipping during heavy use. The handle includes a 3/8-inch cross-hole near the top, sized to clear standard pegboard hooks, nails, or a paracord lanyard for hanging storage. Check your hook diameter if you're mounting this on a custom rack. Base Footprint: 4" OD × 2" H Handle Dimensions: 1" OD × 2.5" H (above base) Hole Clearance: 3/8" bore
Compact Hex Key Pouch
A compact, low-profile pouch for a standard set of seven metric Allen keys (2 mm through 8 mm). Designed for belt or pocket carry, the main body is slimmed down and heavily rounded to prevent it from catching on clothing or digging in while working. The holes run completely through the block so sawdust and metal shavings cannot collect inside. What it's for Keeps your hex keys organized and immediately accessible on a belt or work apron. The integrated spring clip features a tightly radiused catch designed to grip fabric securely without feeling bulky. Dimensions Overall footprint: 68 × 16 mm (body), plus 6.5 mm depth for the clip. Height: 50 mm. Hole diameters: 8.5, 6.5, 5.5, 4.5, 3.5, 3.0, and 2.5 mm, providing a comfortable 0.5 mm clearance for each key. Print notes Print upright as oriented (the flat base on the bed). The through-holes require no supports, and the integrated clip relies on the Z-axis layer strength — PETG or ABS is highly recommended for the flex and durability of the clip, though PLA works for lighter duty.
