This is an adapter for holding sandpaper with an oscillating multitool. I designed it for a DeWalt DCS356, but it may fit other brands/models with the same blade interface.
The Everclamp grid with sqwasher plate and thumbscrews lets you attach sandpaper, a sponge, or other irregularly-shaped objects in any orientation.
Do not print the "uncalibrated" STL files, as the threads will not fit. Instead, use OpenSCAD to convert the attached *.bundle.scad files into STL, calibrated for your printing setup. See https://everclamp.org/#calibration for instructions.
PrusaSlicer settings:
Layer height 0.2mm
Gyroid 15% infill
The elevated flat part requires good support to print correctly:
Support style: organic
Don't support bridges: unchecked (in other words, DO support bridges)
Overhang threshold: 10 degrees (support the bridge, not the screw threads)
Top/Bottom contact Z distance: 0.2 (detachable)
Top/Bottom interface layers: 3 (heavy)
Support speed: 20 mm/s (slow)
In other news, if you try to upload a file named uncalibrated_example.stl to Thingiverse, it fails with no error message, because somewhere they have a pr0n filter searching for rated*x.
Some people might find this bundle_scad.py code useful. It combines an STL, SCAD, and all its dependencies into a single file.
What material did you print this in? Sanding generates heat pretty easily and may soften some materials. I’m curious of your experience with that as you’ve given me some ideas for sanding jigs.

PLA, but I’ve only used it for sanding small models so heat wasn’t an issue. PETG should be more heat resistant.
