Gunpla HG action base adapter with 3 mm peg
A small saddle that lets High Grade Gunpla kits without a dedicated stand hole sit on a Bandai Action Base 4 or 5 arm. The arm ends in a 3 mm peg, so the adapter has a 3.1 mm socket 8 mm deep underneath and a curved 28 mm wide cradle on top that hugs the kit's crotch block between the hip joints, with 1 mm soft lips that grip the skirt armour rather than scratching it. A 5 mm hole through the side takes an optional M3 grub screw for heavier kits. Print it upright with 2 mm walls at 0.12 mm layers so the peg socket is round. 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.

Example prompt
Model a Gunpla action base adapter 30 x 20 x 18 mm with a 3.1 mm socket 8 mm deep underneath for a Bandai Action Base 5 peg, a curved 28 mm wide cradle on top with 1 mm retaining lips for an HG crotch block, a 2.5 mm side hole for an M3 grub screw and 2 mm walls.
Fit notes
Every kit's waist is a slightly different width, which is why one adapter never fits all. Describe the crotch block of your Gundam in SpeakCAD, preview the adapter in the browser without charge, ask for a wider cradle for a Zaku or a 5 mm peg for MG kits in the chat, and download the STL.

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.
