Shimano SPD cleat alignment jig for cycling shoes
A jig that holds a Shimano SM-SH51 or SH56 SPD cleat at a repeatable fore-aft position and angle while you tighten the two M5 bolts (14 mm apart), so a new pair of Shimano, Specialized or Fizik MTB shoes ends up set exactly like the old one. The base is a 90 x 60 mm plate with a pocket matching the cleat outline, a sliding rule in millimetres along the shoe axis and angle marks from 0 to 10 degrees, all raised 0.6 mm so they survive shop use. Print it flat in PETG. 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 cleat alignment jig plate 90 x 60 x 5 mm with a pocket for a two-bolt SPD cleat 0.3 mm oversize, bolt slots on 14 mm centres, a raised millimetre scale along the long axis and angle marks from 0 to 10 degrees, 0.6 mm raised text.
Fit notes
Cleat position is personal and knee-critical, and a downloaded jig cannot know your measured offset. Give SpeakCAD your cleat model and the fore-aft and angle numbers from your bike fit, preview the jig in the browser, refine the pocket in the chat, then 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.
