Pool cue collets for repairs. New tips, ferrules, etc. Sized 10mm through 14mm in .25mm increments. A full set is 17 pieces.
The newest version has the size label embossed on the bottoms for easy reading (the labels don't interfere with function).
They are all drawn at 100% scale, HOWEVER, resin printers tend to shrink just a bit. If you want them to be pretty close to exactly what they are supposed to be you may have to scale them up. I used 100.9%, and it was perfect.
Requires a nice chuck on your lathe like a Nova or Nova II, and a bore of 5/8" (you need to be able to pass the cue shaft through the back of your lathe).
Resin printer is best, but FDM (regular filament printer) works well too. With a filament printer, sanding the inside smooth is advised. Also, the text will not be visible on the collets with an FDM printed part, but will function just fine.
Updated from my original design, and if you need a different size, just scale them in your slicer.
