STL File: Willard 11mm Collet
- Thread starter Zerius
- Start date
stl.
stereo lithograpy
a 3d file extension like obj. stp.
for cad different programs to pass models back and forth
the red parts are the slots I imagine that can be removed easily

The red slots MAY be intended as filler material for 3d printing, though I don't do it like that. I notice that the diameters are all faceted, the chordal flats that are visible. The 3d printers we have will print those facets which is not good. It looks like the tolerance on the model needs tightening up to smooth out the diameters.
Thanks for the feedback Renegade56, I've chosen 96 sides instead of 24 in sketchup and this time it turned out better.
Poor first mockup - didn't work that well since snooker cues taper aggressively, next time I'll try a 10 mm- 14mm end.
On a brighter note, this mockup of a snooker tip trimmer works fantastic! For those who may install a few snooker tips on the Willard and don't need the $60 metal trimmer. :grin:

So have you made anything with these files or are they just ideas?
Can you post pics of what you have made?
As for the parts shown, it would seem easy enough to just make it from a piece of plastic rod.
Unless there is something I am missing in the pictures.

The files for printing are attached, the picture is just a preview.
I have printed them and the blade holder worked very well for installing a snooker tip where the stock blade could not trim a 9mm tip.
The collets seem to dent the shaft still so I'll need to work on that and I have mocked up a R2 where I missed the point of tapering the ends in the original design.
These items could be simple to make with a rod, but I do not have a workshop I can access and the only source to obtain these would be through Meuller (and I live in Canada).
I think 3D printers will be an ubiquitous to homes in the future, and the goal for myself currently is to design something that can be printed quickly and suitable for doing 1-2 tips a year so that joeblow can install their own tips at home.
