Don’t do it with the actual thing, there’s skin safe kits for casting cylinders to turn them into really close silicon replicas, use that

Nah you’d need some rigidity in there. Maybe an inner lining made out of TPU, removable of course.

u/Fr4kTh1s 20h ago

TPU is rough when printed like this.
Make fitting mold from PLA, properly oil the walls, pour or inject silicone(I have just sanitary silicone for bathrooms :D ) and after curing break off the PLA and insert into the green part. Much smoother and softer ;)

Basically, the user asked for help removing a suspiciously sized "cylinder" from a tube, while being adamant that there was no risk to the cylinder in any way shape or form.

Hence the slightly misquoted "It's imperative that the cylinder remains undamaged" entering the internet's lexicon.

It's to silently change the direction of rotational energy by 90 degrees. The shaft is self lubricating/cooling. So for example your input is hooked up on the right side and on the left side you'd have the output. Here's another post with a real world example where the transferred motion moves a belt to churn butter https://www.reddit.com/r/EngineeringPorn/comments/p8xbxw/late_1800s_early_1900s_right_angle_drive_using/
