Spokes on miniature wheels.

Perfect for exhaust pipes, small radial/rotary engines.

The suppliers were giving them away with purchases. I received a dozen, I think, with my 3D printer. Not wanted.

different length and bends on some. I would have much preferred a reduction in price, not an unwanted ‘gift’.

Whether or not you can think of a use for them, it's a no-brainer to pick up a set for the "this will come in handy" shelf in the workshop.

You could use one to make the displacer cylinder fot a tiny Stirling engine. A smaller one for the displacer piston would be ideal.

Don’t be in any rush to get the paper ones, they are useless for a milkshake especially if the mix is on the thick side. If people disposed of their waste properly our environment would be safe from plastic. Unfortunately waste collection and recycling are a bit flakey and stuff finishes up in the wrong place and too many people just launch their fast food packaging out the car window. People are the problem but it may be easier to eliminate the plastic rather than educate the morons.
