Example for the Standard package
A shelf bracket with countersunk screw holes
The bracket from two sides
Seen from above
Size: 24 × 60 × 60 mm, one part. Files:
- model.stl and model.3mf;
- model.obj, model.glb and outline.dxf;
- model.js, with the legs, the hole positions and the screw sizes at the top;
- a README.
The README suggests printing it on its side so the layers run along the legs, in PETG with 40% infill and 4 walls. It is a bracket for light shelves, and its strength depends on the plastic and the printing.
Client: someone who needed one more bracket like the ones under their kitchen shelf, to the same size. Task: an L-shaped bracket with 60 mm legs, 24 mm wide and 5 mm thick, with a rib in the corner and two holes per leg for 4 mm wood screws, countersunk so the heads sit flush.
The client and all details are made up.
About this service
A 3D model of a simple spur gear with straight teeth, or a pulley for a round, flat or V-belt, to replace a worn one or to build a small mechanism. We make it from your numbers: the tooth count, the module or the outer diameter, the face width and the bore, with a flat, a key slot, a hub or a set-screw hole if you need them; for a pulley, the belt and the groove. You get a ZIP archive: STL and 3MF to print, OBJ, GLB, a DXF outline, the code with the sizes at the top, a README with printing advice and pictures from four sides. From Standard the file holds 2 or 3 versions of the bore. These are single gears and pulleys, not gearboxes: we do not calculate ratios, loads or speeds, and make no helical, bevel or worm gears. Strength and wear depend on the material. Nothing for lifting or vehicles. We do not print or ship parts.
What is included
- What you getA ZIP archive with model.stl and model.3mf for 3D printing, model.obj for 3D editors, model.glb for viewing on the web and in augmented reality, outline.dxf with the outline seen from above for CAD and laser cutting, model.js with the main sizes as named numbers at the top, a README with printing advice and 4 PNG pictures of the 3D model from four sides, also shown on the order page. A pair of parts lies side by side, ready to print separately.
- Spur gearsStraight teeth from your tooth count and module or outer diameter
- PulleysFor a round, flat or V-belt, with the groove sizes you give
- Shaft fitA round bore, a flat, a key slot or a set-screw hole; 2 or 3 bore versions from Standard
- A pair that meshesIn Premium, two gears or a gear and a pulley, from the distance between your shafts
- Printing adviceWhich side down, layer height, infill and a material that wears well, in the README
How it works
- 1NumbersYou send the tooth count, module or outer diameter, width and bore
- 23D modelWe build the 3D model and check that it is a closed solid of the sizes you asked for
- 3Try itYou print it, try the bore on the shaft and check the mesh
- 4ChangesYou send what to change, with measurements, within your package
What we need from you
For a gear: the number of teeth, the module or the outer diameter measured across the tips, the face width, the pressure angle if you know it, and the gear it meshes with. For a pulley: the belt's type and its width or diameter, and the pulley's outer diameter. For both: the shaft diameter, whether it has a flat or a key or needs a set screw, with their sizes, and the hub's diameter and length if there is one. All in mm, ideally measured with a caliper. Photos of the old part with a ruler, and for a pair, the distance between the shafts.
We will ask you:
- Gear or pulley, and what is it for?
- Teeth and module, or the belt
- The shaft and the bore
- What does it mesh with?
- Your printer and material

Payment protection
You pay when you order, but the money is released only for accepted work.
- Fixed priceThe package price does not change after you pay.
- The money is reservedWhen you pay, the amount is only reserved. It is released to the service once you accept the work.
- Checked before deliveryEvery result goes through a quality check before it reaches you, and you see it on the order page before accepting it.
- Free revisionsAsk for changes within your brief as many times as the package allows.
- Acceptance after 3 daysIf within 3 days of delivery you neither accept the work nor ask for changes, it is accepted automatically. If you write in the order chat after delivery, the order waits; once we answer, we may start the 3 days again and will say so in the chat.
- Redo or a full refundIf the result does not match your brief and the revisions did not fix it, or the work takes more than twice its deadline, write in the order chat: we will redo the work or refund the payment in full.
Questions and answers
Will it mesh with my old gear?
It will if the module, tooth count and pressure angle match the old gear's. We build from your numbers and never guess them: count the teeth, measure the outer diameter with a caliper, and print a test piece before you rely on it.
Can you make a gearbox or work out a ratio?
No. We make single spur gears and pulleys, or a pair in Premium, from the numbers you give. We do not design gear trains or gearboxes, calculate loads, speeds or ratios, or make helical, bevel, worm or internal gears.
How long will a printed gear last?
That depends on the material, the load, the speed and the printing, so we cannot promise it. Printed gears suit light mechanisms; a metal or moulded gear is usually stronger. Nothing for lifting gear, vehicles or other safety-critical uses.
Can you copy a gear from a well-known brand's appliance?
A replacement for your own appliance, made from your measurements, is fine. We do not make copies to be sold as the brand's original parts.
Do you print it?
No. You get the files and print the gear yourself or at a print shop. We do not edit an STL you send either: we build a new 3D model from your numbers.
