Functional templates

Functional templates. Start from a design that already works. Change its sizes with sliders, then make it yours to edit any way you like.

• Hose adapter generator Join a vacuum hose to a tool, or one hose to another. Type each end's diameter and length; tick an end that slides over a pipe instead of into a hose.
• Cable clip generator A clip that snaps round a cable and screws to the wall. Type the cable's diameter; the ring, its opening and the screw tab follow.
• Bolt knob generator A grippy knob for a bolt or a nut, M3 to M8. Pick the bolt size; the hex pocket and the hole follow. Set the knob's size and how many grips.
• Spur gear generator A spur gear with proper involute teeth. Set the number of teeth, the module (tooth size), the bore and the width. Gears of the same module mesh.
• Pipe clamp generator A clamp that holds a pipe, tube, rod or cable bundle against a wall, a screw each side. Type the pipe's diameter; it fits with 0.2 mm to spare.
• Hinge generator A two-leaf hinge for boxes, cabinet doors and lids, with a hole up the knuckles for a pin: a nail, a bolt or a piece of filament. Set the height, knuckles, leaf width and the pin.
