• Materials: Aluminum
• Pieces per package: 2

What it is for

They are ideal for reducing vibrations and improving movement in 3D printing, CNC, or laser applications. Typical uses include creating a mobile support for your 3D printer using these flexible spacers and metal or plastic pieces.

Tutorial: How to Use Aluminum Flexible Spacers

Aluminum flexible spacers are useful for connecting and securing metal or plastic pieces, especially in 3D printing and CNC applications. They are ideal for projects that require high mechanical strength.

What you need

• Aluminum flexible spacers
• Cutting tools such as scissors or wire cutters
• Metal wire

Steps

1. Check the size of the hole you want to connect, it should be 5mm x 8mm.
2. Cut the metal wire so that you can wrap it around the connector to secure it to the support or the moving part.
3. Wrap the wire around the flexible connector and secure it with a tight knot.
4. Insert one end of the connector into the hole of the component you want to connect, ensuring a good grip.
5. Repeat the process for the other connector if necessary.

Mini project

Create a mobile support for your 3d printer using these flexible connectors and pieces of metal or plastic.

Common mistakes

• Cutting the wire too short
• Not wrapping the wire tightly enough around the connector
• Inserting the connector into an unsuitable hole

Recommended accessories

• Metal wire 0.5mm
• Cutting tools
• Plastic and metal glue

Frequently asked questions

Are these connectors suitable for any type of hole?
Check the datasheet to verify compatibility with the diameter of the hole you want to use.

Can I use these couplers to connect plastic pieces?
Yes, but make sure the coupler is securely attached and does not come loose during use.
