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

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.
