Workshop tools for 3D printing
Free browser tools for the workshop: parts sized to your need, with metric threads, clearances and gear teeth you can check before you print. Each one runs in the browser, checks the part against your printer and downloads it as STL or 3MF.
Workshop tools
- Bolt & Nut Generator
- Make a 3D-printable bolt and nut, M2 to M24 or #2 to 1 inch, for a printed or a steel mate. A thread test sets the clearance for your printer.
- Clamp Rack Generator
- Print a wall rack for F-clamps, bar, one-handed and spring clamps: each slot sized for your clamp's bar, ribs for its weight, modules that fit your bed.
- Drill Bit Index Generator
- Print a drill index for your own set: metric, fractional, number or letter drills, each hole sized from your printer with its size beside it.
- Fit Test Generator
- Print one small coupon to measure your 3D printer's press fit, sliding fit and how small holes print, then every NabiMakes tool sizes its fits from it.
- Flat Wrench Generator
- Print flat spanners for ISO, DIN, JIS or inch nuts: open ends at 15° or straight, 6- or 12-point rings, a label, and an opening sized to your printer.
- French Cleat Generator
- Print French cleat hangers, hooks, shelves and wall strips for your own wall: any cleat thickness, 45° or 30°, with the spacer where your wall needs it.
- Gear Studio
- Design gear trains with spur gears, ring gears and racks, watch them turn, read ratios and torque, and download printable gears.
- Hex Key Holder Generator
- Print a holder for your own hex and Torx keys: metric, inch and Torx rows, a snug grip for each key and its size beside it, on the bench or the wall.
- Hole Plug Generator
- Print snap-in plugs for panel holes, ribbed plugs for blind holes and tube ends, and desk grommets with a cable slot, sized to your hole and printer.
- Hole Saw Holder Generator
- Print a holder for your hole saws: each saw cup-down on its own post, sockets for the arbor and pilots, free-standing, in its case or on Gridfinity.
- Knob Generator
- Print clamping knobs for a hex nut, a bolt head or a heat-set insert, and knobs for D and knurled shafts, with a pocket sized to your printer.
- Push Rivet Generator
- Print push rivets and fir-tree clips for car trim, liners and panels, sized to the hole and the panels they hold, with test sizes either side.
- Ruler Generator
- Make a 3D-printable ruler in millimetres, inches or both, with engraved or raised ticks and your own label, and download it as STL or 3MF.
- Screwdriver Rack Generator
- Print a wall rack for your screwdrivers: an opening sized for each driver, spaced by its handle and labelled, in pieces that fit your bed.
- Shim Set Generator
- Print flat packers, horseshoe shims, wedges and stepped wedges in thicknesses snapped to your layers, each numbered so the set stays sorted.
- Spacer & Washer Generator
- Print washers to ISO and inch standards, spacers and standoffs with heat-set insert or nut pockets, alone or as a labelled set of heights.
- Wall Plug Generator
- Print wall plugs for the drill and screw you have: expanding plugs for brick, screw-in plugs for plasterboard and sleeves for stripped holes in wood.
- Wire Spool Holder Generator
- Print a caddy or brackets for spools of hook-up wire, solder and tape: each bay sized from your spool, cradles for your rod, a comb for every wire's end.
