Why are we providing Digital Files for purchase?
Why are we providing Digital Files for purchase?
More riders and shops now have access to 3D printers — or know someone who does.
It’s the ultimate way to make our tools even more available.
3D printers are becoming more efficient and easier to work with.
Not everyone can design and use 3D modeling tools, but everyone can
download a file.
We’ve spent years learning how to design for 3D printing – and we want
to share that.
It’s a step forward reducing environmental footprint: no boxes, no shipping, no fuel burned.
Materials & Manufacturing
Materials & Manufacturing
To ensure optimal performance, materials/manufacturing guidelines and recommentations are provided with the purchase of all Digital Files. Those guidelines are not the exact recipes of how we manufacture our tools in-house – we most of the time use several materials and different setups only to produce 1 single part and we don’t feel comfortable in giving everything on the Web for now.
Our tools are tested and ready to go! If your print doesn’t fit as expected, it’s often down to printer calibration or slicer settings. Check both and print again—that’s the beauty of DIY!

We kindly request to respect the Intellectual Property (IP) of our products.
We’ve invested countless hours in drawing, design, testing, and fine-tuning these tools—and we ask the MTB community to honor that effort.
To help differentiate between products printed using our STL files and those we manufacture in-house, we've added an "MCT-IP" engraving on all STL files.

Take Control of Your Workshop: Quality Tools, Printed by You! Join the future of MTB maintenance and keep your bike rolling with precision-engineered 3D printed tools.
Stop waiting for shipping and start servicing. The MCT Digital Files Collection gives you instant access to our field-proven Axle Holder geometries. These STL files allow you to manufacture our Axle Holders (Single or Dual) directly on your own 3D printer.
Our Axle Holders are designed to fit bike repair stand posts up to 50 mm of diameter, and will securely hold your 12 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm thru-axles. You will need to purchase 2x M6-1.00 X 50 mm socket cap screws at your local hardware store to complete the assembly and start using your Axle Holder.
The Advantages of On-Demand Tool Fabrication:
- Instant Workshop Upgrade: Simply download the Axle Holder STL files after purchase using the link sent straight to your email address. No shipping delays.
- No more improvised yoga session reaching out for your thru-axles while holding your bike wheel in position with one knee and one hand! Proprietary geometries optimized to simplify your bike maintenance. Note that your choice of printing material will directly impact the final tool's durability, mechanical strength, and wear resistance.
- Cost-Effective DIY Maintenance: Print as you need. If a tool wears out after years of use, simply "print" it again.
- Eco-Friendly Fabrication: Reduce your carbon footprint by eliminating global shipping, packaging, and transit fuel.
What’s Included in the Download?
- High-Resolution STL Files: Precise CAD-exported geometries for each part of the Axle Holder selected.
- MCT Technical Recommendation Guide: Our expert advice on slicer settings, infill density, wall counts and material selection to ensure structural integrity.
- MCT-LFL License: A Limited Fabrication License for internal use (Service and Repair).
