Drill depth-stop collar set
A drill depth-stop collar slides onto a twist bit and stops the chuck from driving deeper than you want, so dowel holes, hinge cups and pilot holes all end at the same depth. A good set covers bits from 3 to 10 mm, with a bore 0.2 mm over the nominal size, a 12 mm outer diameter for grip and a side hole for an M3 grub screw. Print the collars standing up so the bore stays round, and choose PETG if the bit gets warm. 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.Adjust

Example prompt
Design a set of 5 drill depth-stop collars for bit diameters 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm. Each collar is 15 mm long, 12 mm outer diameter, bore 0.2 mm larger than the bit, with a radial M3 grub-screw hole and hex nut pocket.
Fit notes
Instead of digging through repositories for a set that happens to match your bits, describe the exact diameters and lengths you use and SpeakCAD models them for you. If a bore is snug, ask for 0.1 mm more clearance in the chat and regenerate. Open the ready-made model free, change its numbers in the viewer and download the STL or 3MF free; AI changes use credits.

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.
