Designed specifically for a Mitutoyo 6in caliper, but should work fine with most similarly-sized calipers. The jaw sizes are different enough as you go up in sizes that it does get less stables with larger calipers I've made a few…
Designed to hold 4 cues (of reasonably similar length :) ). Each half of the mount attaches with two #6 fasteners (holes are pretty generously toleranced, so should be easily cleaned out up to a #8... I think). I have printed both sides…

More of my fluid management designs I've made a number of these little tees for various test builds when I didn't have and/or forgot to order real tees (or I guess Ys in this case, but I tend to call all two-way splitters 'tees' I guess…
A little socket holder that I mainly use for grouping random/loose sockets in my toolbox and for grabbing small sets of sockets to carry around (hence the 'pocket socket' name) when working on something specific. It keeps me from having…
I made my first version of these holders a few years ago for my camera batteries, and I really liked that I could see what is charged at a glance. Just keep charged ones with the contacts down, and drained ones flipped the other way. I…

Find some more of my various fluid management designs here A 5-way splitter for 3/16" ID soft tubing. I've printed a few from various Siraya Tech ABS-like resins and they've done just fine. The tubing I've used with them is a soft…
Flexure mechanism that helps turn a cheap photo-interrupter and a razor blade into a repeatable displacement sensor. The dual diaphragm flexures constrain the motion of the razor blade such that it moves in a very repeatable linear…
I've been playing around with ideas for making a 3d printable fractal vise where the rotational degrees of freedom rely on flexures instead of the bearing surfaces. To test these out, I started making these fellas that slide on to my…
