I made a "scale lifter" to raise my plates when weighing food and filmed the process

I made a "scale lifter" to raise my plates when weighing food and filmed the process

I designed a scale lifter for my kitchen scale to raise plates just enough so I can actually read the screen while weighing.

The top is hollow so it can fit different plate sizes or even larger bowls without needing a perfect match. I chose a hyperboloid shape to keep it strong enough for heavier plates and meals.

Printed in PLA and works like a charm.

I filmed the process and made a video and thought that could fit here.

Can 3D printing be fun? Partner always seems angry when trying to print

Hi!

So anytime my partner tries to print stuff, something always seems to go wrong and he always gets angry about it.

Today he told me to never ask him to print on a weekend ever again (we need new egg cups).

I do want to support him and show interest, and when stuff works he's quite satisfied but I kinda start to dread when he's working and tinkering around because of his frustration. I even sculpted him a meaningful stl for our anniversary gift.

And I honestly don't want to be a scapegoat or suggest things. I usually leave him be when he's like that but sometimes that seems to be the wrong way, too.

Does anyone have advice?

Is it really that there are constantly issues with a print and it only works fine like 80% of the time? Anything I could do to help make things work?

I'm hoping his new prusa printer will give him some good experience because it's gotten to a point where I'd love to tell him to just not own printers at all 😅

Edit: It's getting hard to keep up with replies, but we had a conversation and he agreed to buying a A1 mini, what a coincidence that it was on sale, lol Thanks for the suggestion! He was a bit defensive at first because he felt like he had failed and now I have to do it myself when he feels like he should, but he quickly let go off that.

This might help me strive for something more and something more diy and awake my interest, while I can handle a 3d printer myself.

Thank you for your kind words and help!

Wine fridge drybox

Wine fridge drybox

I bought a non-working wine fridge for $50. It was a dual-zone 100 bottle wine cooler. Turns out it's perfect as a dry box. The door seals, and the inside liner is nearly airtight. Each shelf is just a tiny bit higher than the width of a Filament roll, and it holds 4 rolls and a dessicant container on each shelf. The whole thing can hold at least 40 rolls.

I stripped out all the unnecessary stuff- the compressor, the coils, wires, circuit boards, control panels, etc. I printed some multiboard, some LED strip diffusers, and designed and printed boxes to hold the controls that I would install.

First, I wanted good air circulation, so I installed extra 12v DC fans and wired them to a timer switch. I programmed the switch to run the fans for 30 seconds every 15 minutes.

Next, I wanted to keep it at a constant, warm temperature. I got lucky, as the fridge came with a 100 watt 110v ac heater already installed. I guess that's how the dual-zone part works. I had a 110v fan already, so I mounted it to the back panel right above the heater and put them on the same circuit, so when the heater runs, so does the fan. Its connected by an old extension cord, and the fan unplug easily so I can remove the back panel. It's controlled by one of those cheap Amazon thermostats.

Finally, I installed LED strip lights. The diffusers hold them on the shelf rails, and every level has light. I wired them all up with some wire and T connectors. I stuck a full strip to the top. The entire system is controlled by one switch, and it can be dimmed.

All the wires run through a hole in the back that I sealed with silicone caulk.

Each s helf has a dessicant canister, and there's about 2 kilos of silica in there. So far it stays dry, but I don't have an accurate hygrometer, so I have no reading. They range from 10-25% humidity, depending on which one. I put them in a bag with moust salt and they all read 75%, just like they should. It's a real head scratcher.

I'm happy with it. Next thing is to mount a rack for the top to hold empty and unopened spools.

I realized you can add any STL as a bed in Orcaslicer, so I recreated my printer and its mods as a custom bed model!

I realized you can add any STL as a bed in Orcaslicer, so I recreated my printer and its mods as a custom bed model!

For those curious, my printer is a modded ender 3 S1 running Klipper/mainsail with: * A BigTreeTech E3EZ mainboard (which required way too much custom rewiring for my own good to keep the stock ribbon cable and outer connection points in tact) * A bed handle by Juco * A custom front plate and HDMI5 display mount by Sixpack99 * A modified version of KlackEnder (a Klicky probe) * A Taurus v5 cooling duct with a new hotend, and the mount for a KNOMI V2 display * A custom bed wiper with custom mounts for ADXL345 accelerometers * Cable chains by DKVisions and Fizzy Chickens * bed leveling spacers * A Creality light bar * a Nexigo M60 and Creality Nebula webcam for print monitoring

I made a matching mouse for my 90s Hot Wheels PC themed Ergo Board

I made a matching mouse for my 90s Hot Wheels PC themed Ergo Board

Using the print from https://makerworld.com/en/models/490866-retro-mouse-with-hot-swappable-switches#profileId-404345 which was pretty great.

Raided a Kaihl switch tester for the switches because I needed clicky switches and I usually only had linears.

Printed on an Ender V3 SE in PLA.

Peak productivity is spending 8 hours making something to help me be more productive

Peak productivity is spending 8 hours making something to help me be more productive

kumiko desk organizers have been appearing in my feed all week, took it as a sign to make my own! It’s functional. It’s beautiful. It’s deeply unnecessary. But it’s mine, and i’m very happy with how it came out :)

if you’re interested to print a fancy box too, you can find it here: https://makerworld.com/models/1288105
