Bricklayer's Line Tingle (Easy Print & Site-Proof) NEW & IMPROVED

NEW & IMPROVED V2 Bricklayer's Line Tingle (Easy Print & Site-Proof)

We all know how it goes on a busy building site—tools get dropped down cavity walls, lost in the mud, or "permanently borrowed" by other blokes who forget to return them.

That is why I went back to the drawing board to create Version 2 of my 3D-printable Line Tingle. These aren't just a concept—they are actively used on a busy building site every single day and work extremely well under real working conditions.

I have completely redesigned this model to be even better on the job, but crucially, much faster and easier to print. If this one walks off or gets lost, you won't care. It prints for absolute pennies and takes no time at all. Just slice it, print a handful of them overnight, and toss them in your tool bag.

What’s New in V2?

• Field-Tested: Extensively used on-site and proven to hold up to daily wear and tear.

• Optimized for Easy Printing: I tweaked the geometry so it prints flawlessly with zero supports, better bed adhesion, and faster print times.

• Site-Proof Design: Tweaked for an even tighter grip on the line and a more rugged profile to handle being tossed around the site.

• Zero Stress Loss: At next to no cost per print, you can treat these as consumables. If a mate takes it, let them keep it and just print another.

Why Use a Line Tingle?

If you are building a long brick wall, your string line will sag in the middle, throwing off your courses. This tingle sits perfectly on your middle bricks to keep your line dead straight and level from corner to corner. Stop paying £16+ on Amazon for basic plastic tools when you can print a superior, site-tested version at home.

Recommended Print Settings

This model is designed to print clean and fast:

• Orientation: Print flat on the bed (no supports needed).

• Material: PETG or ABS/ASA for maximum UV and impact resistance on site. PLA+ works great too if you keep it out of intense direct heat.

• Infill: 40% to 50% (Gyroid or Grid) for solid strength when the line is pulled taut.

• Walls/Perimeters: 3 to 4 walls for maximum durability.

Complete the Kit

This upgraded Line Tingle works hand-in-hand with my Bricklayer's Line Blocks (the corner pieces that hold the string at each end of the wall). Check out my profile to download the full set and stop buying overpriced plastic!
