What it does
- Adjust length and diameter to fit your project so you get the exact tube you need
- Add custom text embossed or carved into the side so your tools stay organized and labeled
- Connect multiple tubes together to build any size you want without buying expensive metal tubes
- Use threaded ends that work right out of the printer so assembly is quick and easy
- Replace aluminum and carbon tubes in your builds so you save money and print only what you need
Stop buying tubes that don't fit your project. This customizable threaded tube lets you design exactly what you need, then print it on demand. Adjust the length, diameter, and thread type right in the customizer. Add your own text to the side. Get a working part in days, not weeks.
The tube comes with three end options: smooth standard ends, male threads, or female threads. Connect as many tubes as you want to build any length. The threads are ISO-compliant and ready to use straight from the printer, so you can start assembling right away. This part replaces metal tubes in workshops, labs, and hobby projects.
All measurements use millimeters. Female thread ends have a longer threaded section for a better fit. The cone-cut thread ends make insertion easier and faster.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
