Serrated indexing joint pair with mounting tabs STL: Create a Custom-Size 3D Model
Create a custom-size serrated indexing joint pair with mounting tabs STL for your own 3D printer. Check the model controls, measure the fit and buy the generated digital file.
Set a light model arm to repeatable angular positions. One disc carries face teeth and the other their matching complementary surface. To adjust, loosen your center bolt, lift the teeth apart, rotate and clamp gently again. Each tab has two 3.4 mm mounting holes. Defaults are a 40 mm disc diameter, 24 divisions and a 5.4 mm center bore, giving 15-degree steps. In general, the step is 360 divided by the number of divisions. Supply suitable bolts, a nut and washers. Print both pieces flat-side down and clean the mating faces. No GN-standard compatibility or holding-force rating is claimed.
With the Serrated indexing joint pair with mounting tabs template, you can turn those measurements into a custom-size STL. Review controls such as disc diameter, indexing divisions, central bolt clearance, check your model in the preview and choose the digital file. You buy the generated STL and print it on your own 3D printer, using your preferred filament and slicer settings.
Measurements for your serrated indexing joint pair with mounting tabs STL
The product page exposes the following useful geometry controls. Work from your measured parts and check the displayed units and the preview before entering final values.
| Model control | What to check |
|---|---|
| Disc diameter | Measure across the circular feature and confirm which mating surface it represents. |
| Indexing divisions | Check this feature against the matching component and confirm its effect in the 3D preview. |
| Central bolt clearance | Check whether the input adds an allowance or describes the finished opening. Avoid adding it twice. |
Separate the object fit from the mounting interface
Write down the size of the object being supported and the measurements of the mounting surface as two separate groups. Check access for insertion, removal and any fasteners in the preview. Hole diameter, hole spacing and clearance behind the part solve different problems.
Configure the model, buy the STL and print locally
- Open the serrated indexing joint pair with mounting tabs product page and compare the model preview with your application.
- Enter the relevant measurements. Use the units displayed beside each input; convert inch measurements before using a millimetre field.
- Review the complete geometry and keep a record of your parameter values. Check small openings, mating features and remaining wall thickness.
- Choose the digital STL purchase option and review the current price and order details before payment.
- After receiving the STL, open it in your slicer, confirm the imported dimensions and inspect the layer preview before printing.

Check a first print before making more
A CAD dimension and a printed dimension can differ. Print a fit sample or one prototype before making a batch, and check the features that contact other parts. Choose print orientation, supports and material for the actual geometry and application. There is no universal clearance or print profile that guarantees the fit on every machine.
Before you choose your STL
Why configure the model instead of scaling a download?
Uniform scaling changes all dimensions together. Here you can work with the available controls, including disc diameter, indexing divisions, central bolt clearance, and check the result before purchase. Keep your input values for later revisions: the downloaded STL contains the final mesh, rather than the original parametric editing history.
What do I buy?
Select the digital STL option for the file you will print yourself. Review the current price and selected configuration before paying. Ordering a finished print is a separate option.
Make the next print fit your project
Have your measurements ready? Open the serrated indexing joint pair with mounting tabs template, adjust the model and inspect the preview. When the geometry matches what you need, choose your STL and take it to your own printer.
