This model is not currently offered as a verified ready to buy print.
What it does
- Snap pieces together to bend and hold your shape so you can route wires, air, or cables exactly where you need them
- Ball and socket joints let you reposition the hose anytime without tools, so you adjust your setup in seconds
- Open channel runs through the middle so you can thread LED wires or cooling tubes straight through each segment
- Lightweight and printable on demand, made from the US so you get it fast
Build a flexible arm that stays put. You can snap these modular connectors together to create a tool that holds whatever you want to position. Route LED wires. Direct cool air. Organize cables. Once you bend it where you need it, it holds firm.
Each piece has a ball and socket joint that locks in place but still lets you adjust. Push segments together and they connect tight. The hole running down the middle means you thread wires or tubes straight through without extra steps. You get the same idea as professional Loc-Line hose, built for your 3D printer and your budget.
Perfect for your workbench, maker space, or shop. Build one arm or build five. Stack them however you want.

What it is made of
Designs like this print well in PLA. Compare the materials.
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 We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating.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.
