About this model

This lightweight adapter fits 10 mL Eppendorf tubes into centrifuge rotors made for the Nalgene 30 mL tubes. Lab centrifuge with a rotor made for the round-bottom screw-cap Nalgene 30 mL tubes (93x25 mm), like the MPW model 11458, can be difficult and expensive to find tubes for. So, I made an adapter to fit 10 mL round-bottom snap-cap Eppendorf-type tubes (82x15 mm) instead. I printed these in SLA resin for better rigidity. Source code (.3dm) is also provided, should you want to modify the design for your own purpose. Please share your prints!
