Outdoor tap frost cover
A frozen outside tap can split the pipe behind the wall, and a snug cover traps air around it through winter. This cover is a two-part hinged clamshell 120 mm in diameter and 140 mm deep with 3 mm walls, a 25 mm pipe cutout at the back with a foam gasket recess, a 4 mm hinge pin, a snap latch on the front and a hanging loop. Print both halves open-side down in ASA or PETG, which stay tough in frost where PLA cracks, and line the inside with foam. 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.
