My wheels were bald, bad. It was a slip n slide on the steeper parts of my lawn. Back wheels on this Honda have a metal gear on the inside for the drive system and cost apx $50 for a pair. I drilled 7 pilot holes in the print and used screws to secure. Was gonna do epoxy, still could if screws fail. Either way, this is a win.

Wanted easy access to air con, door lock and volume controls from either side of the couch. I found these cheap round touch screens from Ali Express and programmed them using ESPHome and LVGL to control Home Assistant.

Super convenient to be able to control: - Air con - Both front door and apartment intercom unlock (if someone rings the doorbell I can let them in without moving 😅) - Volume (faster than 1 notch at a time Apple TV remote) - Lights (100%, 15%, 0%)

Means you don’t need to figure out where your phone is and can quickly control this stuff. I’ve got a screen on either side of the couch.

I wanted a clip for my carpenter pencils so I'd stop losing them in my pockets when they got short. I also wanted it to be small enough that I still could use up the majority of the pencil before having to toss it. Finally, I wanted to be able to remove the old pencil easily when it came time for a new one.

So I came up with this! I present my compact carpenter pencil clip that fits snuggly on the end of your pencil and has a convenient cut-out for easy removal of used up pencils. This clip uses only 1.5 grams of filament and doesn't need supports.

I bought an expensive Rubbermaid kitchen trash can thinking it would last a while, then the hinge for the lid gave up after 18 months. I think this replacement will last a fair bit longer than that.

Hey 3D printing friends!

I’d like to introduce my project OutIn Capsule – 3in1, which I created for the Makerworld competition #outinchallenge. My goal was to design the most compact model possible while offering maximum functionality. That’s why I built a capsule that easily snaps together with magnets and includes:

• Coffee maker
• Stand for the coffee maker
• Storage for coffee beans and capsules
• A small table

Everything is in one place, saving you space and keeping your coffee always ready to go. If you like my model, I’d really appreciate any likes and shares! Thanks for the support!

Needed something to hold a filament spool while I re-spooled it so I whipped this up in about 20 mins. Turns out it can be used to hold other things like rolls of tape, paper towels, etc. It clips onto the front of wire shelving and uses a section of 3/4" pvc pipe as the rod.

This is pretty niche but if anyone else finds it useful, it's up on Makerworld, gratis, of course: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1477181-wire-shelf-hanger-for-spools-tapes-rolls-etc

The foot pedal for my Brother sewing machine split and broke apart. I tried my best to measure the original piece and model it for printing. In the end it works just as good as before.

Adapter to mount Geekworm X1001 NVME SSD hat to the passively cooled Edatech ED-Pi5Case-B for the Raspberry Pi 5. Might be hard to spot in the photo, as it is sandwitched between things. It is the grey part in the CAD screenshot.

The included standoffs with the X1001 won't fit when you use this case, so I made an adapter. Printed in PETG to handle the heat from the Pi case (it gets hot to the touch), and after a couple of weeks of use, I see no deformation at all, so ABS/ASA isn't needed for this use case.

To me, this is what hobby 3D printing is for: making not just functional things, but useful things. Things that in some way improves your (or someone else's) everyday life or solves a practical problem. In this case: How do I get A to fit onto B.

Here is the Printables link: https://www.printables.com/model/1315020-adapter-from-raspberry-pi-5-case-to-nvme-ssd-hat (STEP file and link to original CAD is available there, I don't consider any model truly open source without that.)

A pair of binocular protectors being used here. Neat.

Couldn't find a proper mat that seems to work for my toolbox, so I decided to design and 3d print my own. Took just over 4 rolls of PLA.
Just designed something similar for my buddies toolbox.

It happened way too often that I needed some tape, but I'm definitely not carrying an entire roll. So I cut out a rectangular piece of cardboard and wrapped some tape around it to keep it on me. However, cardboard is not that sturdy in this case. Every time I tried to lift the end of the tape, the cardboard would flex, making it frustrating to use.

Then it dawned on me: I could use my 3D printer and print something more sturdy. I designed this simple card-like model and added a keychain ring. It’s super portable and now I carry some duct tape as part of my EDC.

What do you think?
