Dop Stick Holder Adapter

thingiverse

This is an adapter designed to fit larger holes in my design for a dop stick holder, making it compatible with smaller dop sticks. As a result, one holder can be printed with uniform hole sizes and used with a variety of sticks. The holder can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1705504. I have uploaded models to adapt 1/2 inch holes for use with 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch sticks. You can edit the .scad file to create your own custom adapter in different dimensions, or utilize a customizer tool to download your tailored model. This project was part of a featured series showcased at http://www.protoparadigm.com/news-updates/what-to-do-with-a-3d-printer-make-lapidary-tools-and-accessories/. Post-Printing The final print dimensions may vary slightly depending on your printer's calibration. Similarly, dowels or other dop sticks can have slight size differences. To achieve a tight fit, it is recommended to print this part with the desired size or slightly smaller, then ream out the inside with a drill bit of the correct size for your stick.
