Model details

Description

Overview and production context

This 3D model represents a solid wedge seat spacer, meticulously designed for 3D printing and CAD applications. The model features a rectangular base of 50.0x75.0 mm, with a top surface inclined at exactly 4.2 degrees along the Y-axis, reaching a maximum height of 29.5 mm. Key features include a central M8 bolt hole (Ø9.0 mm) with a counterbored spot-face (Ø24.0 mm) for washer seating, and an alignment slot (13.0x9.0 mm) offset from the bolt hole. A downward-extruding Ø6.0 mm pin on the bottom surface aids in positioning. The outer vertical edges are smoothed with 5.0 mm fillets for enhanced printability and durability, ensuring a 100% solid body.

How to use this model

Use cases, fit and pre-production checks

This wedge seat spacer is optimized for 3D printing, with its solid body and filleted edges ensuring a successful print with minimal support. It can be printed at various scales, though the original dimensions are provided for direct use. Recommended materials include PLA, PETG, or ABS for structural integrity. The model is ideal for applications requiring angled mounting surfaces, such as in custom jigs, fixtures, or ergonomic seating adjustments. Its precise dimensions and features make it suitable for functional prototypes and end-use parts in industrial or DIY projects. For game development and AR/VR applications, this model can serve as a realistic prop in industrial environments, workshops, or construction sites. Its clean geometry and clear features make it easy to integrate into virtual scenes. Consider using it as a component in machinery, a support structure, or an adjustable element within a larger assembly. The model's detailed features, like the counterbore and alignment slot, add a layer of realism that enhances immersion in virtual experiences.

FAQ

Answers for this exact model page

What are the precise dimensions of the wedge seat spacer?
The spacer has a rectangular base of 50.0x75.0 mm, a maximum height of 29.5 mm, and a top surface inclined at 4.2 degrees. It features a Ø9.0 mm bolt hole and a Ø24.0 mm counterbore.
Is this wedge seat spacer suitable for 3D printing without supports?
The model is designed with 5.0 mm fillets on the outer vertical edges and a solid body, which should allow for successful 3D printing with minimal or no supports, depending on your printer's capabilities and orientation.
What is the purpose of the Ø24.0 mm counterbore on the spacer?
The counterbore is designed to create a flat spot-face on the sloped top surface, perfectly sized to accommodate a standard DIN 9021 washer around the M8 bolt hole, ensuring a stable and flush fit.
Can this model be used as a functional part or just a visual asset?
This model is a solid, precisely dimensioned 3D object intended for functional applications, including 3D printing for jigs, fixtures, custom mounts, and prototypes, as well as for realistic representation in game development and AR/VR.
