Bladed spoke holder tool for wheel truing
Aero spokes such as Sapim CX-Ray (2.2 x 0.9 mm) and DT Aerolite twist when you turn the nipple, so a holder is essential during wheel building and truing. This tool is a 60 mm long handle with a 1.0 mm wide, 12 mm deep slot at one end and a 1.3 mm slot at the other for wider blades like Sapim CX-Sprint, 8 mm thick so it is comfortable to hold for a whole wheel. Slot walls are 3 mm and it prints flat in PETG at 0.12 mm layers for crisp slots; a steel version is not needed for occasional use. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Opening the ready-made model and downloading it as STL or 3MF are free, no card; AI changes use credits, from Maker at $7.99 a month.No printer?

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
