# Misc. Hardware ## Tube Plugs Product Page Manual Square and rectangular metal tubing are among the most commonly used robot construction materials in the FIRST Robotics Competition world. Most of the time, teams will use welding or gussets connected to holes in the tubes to mount parts to tubing, but not every team has access to welding, and sometimes gussets don’t easily accomplish teams’ design intent. Our solution to this is Tube Plugs!\ **Tube Plugs are:** * Sized to fit 2”x2”, 1.5”x1.5”, 1”x1” and 2”x1” tubing * Available for 0.062, 0.093", & .125" wall tubing * Engraved with wall-thickness for easy identification * Tapped #10-32 on all five primary faces * Designed to support a variety of attachment methods * Compatible with Alignment Pins

## Cable Carriers Product Page Energy chain is the industry standard for cable management, especially when it comes to moving systems. WCP carries both Semi-Enclosed which is useful for elevators and Bi Directional energy, typically used for turrets. * Semi-Enclosed Energy Chain (15mm x 30mm, 1 meter length) * Semi-Enclosed Energy Chain (15mm x 45mm, 1 meter length) * Bi Directional Energy Chain (.625" ID, 3ft Length) * Bi Directional Energy Chain (1" ID, 3ft Length)

## 3D Printing Hardware Product Page Don't let your 3D-printed designs fail under competition pressure. As FRC teams continue to use 3D printing for everything from pulleys to protective guards and gearbox structures, the right hardware makes the difference between a robust robot and a breakdown. Reinforce your printed components with fasteners designed to be robust and keep your robot performing when it counts. ### 3D Printing Adapters These adapters are designed to reinforce 3D-printed parts, reducing the risk of stripping printed bores. Ideal for custom parts, they provide a reliable bridge between standard hardware and custom 3D-printed components, ensuring strength and durability in your designs. **Available Sizes:** * 1/2" Hex to 3D Print Adapter (1/4" WD) (5-Pack) * 8mm SplineXS to 3D Print Adapter (1/4" WD) (5-Pack)

### 3D Printing Shear Pins WCP Steel and Aluminum Shear Pins are designed to reinforce 3D-printed parts by strengthening the layers and preventing unwanted part shearing under load. These pins are ideal for use in critical areas of 3D-printed mechanisms, providing a durable, reliable solution to improve structural integrity without adding significant weight. Easy to install and compatible with custom 3D-printed designs, they help teams protect their parts while maintaining performance. **Available Sizes:**

| OD | Length | Material | | ----- | ------------------------ | -------- | | 1.5mm | 1/2"L, 3/4"L, 1"L | Steel | | 3mm | 3/4"L, 1"L, 1-1/2"L, 2"L | Aluminum | ## Zipties Product Page Zip ties are a must-have for cable management, quick fixes, and organizing components on your robot. Strong, lightweight, and easy to use, they’re perfect for bundling wires, securing hardware, and keeping your build clean and competition-ready. * 6" Black Ziptie (.100" Width) * 10" Black Ziptie (.140" Width) * 14" Black Ziptie (.190" Width)
