ST. PAUL, Minn. (BRAIN) — Park Tool is releasing seven 3D-printing models allowing anyone to print out custom pegboard holders for some of its tools.
The printing files are available for download at parktool.com under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0 license, meaning users can share or modify these files under specific circumstances.
The company said the project is analagous to the free bike repair information shared through its YouTube channel.
"Now, tool walls all over the world can adorn custom tool holders for many of Park Tool's most popular products. All are optimized for standard American pegboard (9/32" holes spaced 1" apart), but can be freely modified or adapted to fit the end user's needs," the company said.
If you don't own a 3D printer, these files can be sent to services such as Craftcloud, i.materialise, Print a Thing and Shapeways.
The models are for the following tools: CT-15 Professional Chain Tool; 3-way wrenches; DC-1 and DC-2 digital measuring calipers; DAG-2.2 and Dag-3 derailleur alignment gauges; ATD-1.2 torque drivers; UP-SET utility pick set; VC-1 valve core tool.
The models can all be downloaded from the Park Tool website on the Storage page.
