YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T PRINT THIS! Update, July 7 2023: Dave Hayden took the resin-printed typeball concept and improved on it greatly . I'm extremely grateful that he took on all the hard work of iteratively going through and dialing in…
The second-generation balls are notorious for having the plastic clip break off the metal axle. These balls can still be used, you just have to tear the plastic top off the ball and use a clip like this or the wire from inside the cap. Be…
TL,DR:* This is purely experimental. Try as I might, I can't get an acceptably fine print from my cheap FDM printer. An SLA (resin) printer should do a lot better but alas, I do not have one. Your own custom font IBM Selectric 'golfball'!…
If you're working on the typewriter outside of the case, screw these in to the threaded holes on the bottom of the frame to keep the typewriter out of the solvent and grease in your drip pan. OpenSCAD file is included for tweaking and…

IBM Selectric tab pulley (typewriter)
Remixed Selectric tab pulley with thicker walls, bigger tolerances for M3 screws and an additional lower piece that prevents the pulley axle from tilting. Recommend printing it with a high infill and preferably PETG to make it as sturdy…

Replacement motor fan for IBM Selectrics. You can download the .blend file and use the CAD Sketcher addon to modify the diameter of the hole if it doesn't fit. If you lost the metal clip for it you can use 2 M3 screws to fix the fan on…
The IBM 210 “bicycle” correctable ribbon cassette for the IBM Selectric III is no longer being manufactured. Ribbons for the Selectric II (and some earlier versions of the Selectric III) are, however, still in production by some…
Gridfinity holder for IBM Selectric typeballs. Print in your usual settings and materials; I used PLA, you can sub PETG if your typewriter is in a really hot place for some reason. The typeball holders were modeled after the original…

I wanted to use a female - female duttek 90 deg connector as I'll have an extra from the gopro P2 Pro case.
I invariably ordered the wrong spool for my model of selectric, leaving me with a takeup spool that wouldn't even sit on the carriage. So I designed a similar empty spool that would work with the arbor of the selectric's other side. This…
