Thread: 3d printing workshop parts

I have been following him for a while and he is one very switched on bloke

Brilliant. thankyou for putting up the link.

Thought I would share some 3D printed stuff

Here is a hose adapter. Made out of flexible PLA. One end is threaded for vac hose and other end to fit cyclone. Making it 0.5mm smaller then the cyclone port gives it a snug friction fit. I've also printed hose adapters for tools such as sander etc.

I got the model for the thread from thingiverse and just used fusion360 to make the other end to fit. It is 3DFillies PLAflex and prints well at 205deg first layer and 200 other layers with a bed temp of 60degs for anyone interested

This is a clamp which I found on thingiverse based on festool's 20mm dog hole though can be easily modified for regular sized dogs. It uses a cam action on the lever to clamp down on the work piece. I put the dog on the other side the wrong way but it is adjustable for difference sized workpieces. I printed this in PETG.

I cant think of the name of what this is called but you guys all know what it is lol. Found on thingiverse but I drew my own T nut and knob to fit M6 bolt exactly. Also printed in PETG. I also printed a version in PLA but feel that the PETG version is better as it is a more flexible material. (Though the PLA sound be fine to use too)

I am making a dining table for a friend and bought off the shelf steel legs. Wanted the table to be an extra 10mm higher and also a way for the steel to not scratch up her floors so made this furniture feet out of PETG. It is 50% filled with cubic infil pattern. It takes a self tapping metal screw I got from bunnings and some felt pads I also got from bunnings. I tested it by screwing it into some scrap steel with an impact and it didnt break so it should hold up, I hope! This design could also be used for adjustable legs too with a longer screw

Also printed a bunch of painter's triangles out of PLA dont have any pics of them
