The TPU cushions are soft and springy, with 10% Gyroid infill, and a texture applied using CNC Kitchen's Bumpmesh utility. If anyone is interested, I've uploaded it on Printables, where there are versions for both the full size MX Mechanical and the Mini, as well as different textures to choose for the cushions - I went all out on this as I'm entering it into an ongoing contest. https://www.printables.com/model/1882153-customisable-soft-touch-palm-rest-for-logitech-mx

3D printed cable organizer V3!

Post image
120 Upvotes

I have made a V3 optimized cable organizer! It is for cables up to 2 meters in length and is compatible with virtually any type of charging cable, such as USB-A/USB-C/Lightning/etc! Bend angles are also taken into account to protect cables from damage. I'm very happy with how it turned out and I hope other people will be able to use it as well! I uploaded the model for free on makerworld.

A5 guide for paper punch

I know that this is a easy model but it's really a quality of life one... The paper punch has difficult to read markings, I can only use it in daylight and in very lit spaces. This position the paper nicely!!!

(this filament isn't yet calibrated, hence the lousy top layer)

Made for the Novation Launchkey 25, mk 2. I got fed up with my mouse getting stuck on the rubber feet. Now there's plenty of room of the desk, I can more easily reach the knobs and pads, and my mouse no longer gets stuck :)

Also pretty nice lidded small parts bin version #14,420

I saw a guy on one of the fishing subreddits showing off his minimalist fishing setup and liked the idea, but couldn't find a tiny hard box to wrangle all the small fiddley tackle that I liked. This fits nicely in the bag and hold 2x2 inch baggies for all your fishing paraphernalia needs for a day.

It does also make a great small parts bin too. So much so that a made a dual chamber version.

First self made fix

My GE dishwasher had a broken plastic bit on its closing lever and I didn't want to pay 5 to 15 bucks for a replacement. I threw this together in tinkercad and it works great. It's not pretty but it's so cool to have a self made replacement. I added the words clean and dirty to make it more functional.

Tire Replacement

Noticed that my robot vacuum was struggling to move across smooth tile after almost 3yrs. Found the tires almost worn smooth. 10mins in solidworks and some TPU and it is back to form.

The reach trucks at work don't have anywhere to keep our scanners without them sliding around everywhere or falling off. So I made a mount for mine.

A "universal" quarter turn ball valve actuator

Thumbnail
gallery
214 Upvotes

Works great, the 30kg servo is a bit overkill. Built in OpenSCAD so also parametric and tweakable for any valve that has hex/octa/deca flats on both sides, uses collars so alignment is not necessary. Used here on my gas connection to the central heating but I'm also going to fit it on my water main and try to create an open-source version of the Flo water monitor. This isn't ready for release yet but it is working pretty well.

I made a case for the Hozo Neosander combo (the one with the sanding heads) because the plain box wasn't cutting it for me, and the other one I saw couldn't be printed on my print bed. It has a cutout to read your grit level, and a rear cutout so you can connect the charger to a power brick and charge inside the case (can't shut it while charging though)

trading card drawer for IKEA KALLAX with a spot to display a sleeved card

Thumbnail
gallery
36 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a custom trading card storage drawer designed specifically for the IKEA KALLAX shelf with bottle insert.
A few features of the design:
Holds up to 800 trading cards

Has a front slot for a sleeved card, so you can easily identify what’s inside each drawer

Uses a two-piece design to make printing possible on most consumer 3D printers

Designed with trading card collectors in mind

The idea is to make a KALLAX setup more practical for organizing a collection while letting you use a card on the front as a visual label.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/4596897251/ikea-kallax-trading-card-drawer-digital

I’d love to hear what you think! Is this something you’d use for your collection? Any features you’d want to see added or improved?

I created these for use on a theater set to help make sure an unfolding flat screen for silhouettes was opened to.the same spot every time.

I printed them in pa6-cf20 for strength. They worked really well for this purpose and I wanted to share!

Insert to separate stuff in lunch bag

My daughter hates when the thermos moves around in her lunchbox because it smashes her snacks. So I designed an insert that would separate the thermos. We tried to buy her a different lunch bag but she won’t let go of this one. So I had to come up with a solution.

"3D prints aren't food safe!" - Jürgen Dyhe Squeeze bottle Label

Post image
34 Upvotes

At my wife’s school they have all these condiment squeeze bottles that all have elastic bands with labels. All bottles except the Ketchup bottle because “they can figure it out”. Mind you the bands are like $2 each. Regardless my wife asked if I could do something about it so I designed these sleeves to slip over the bottle. There’s a ridge under that thick part so the label doesn’t move around.

I’m happy with my modeling skills as this honestly only took about an hour to come up with any fit perfectly first try!

I noticed my catch-all shelf on my SKADIS was quickly getting full of coins, so I made an organiser

Model available on Printables. It's parametric*, so you should be able customise to whatever coins you need (although I'm sure there are new and creative ways to break the model). I use the EUR and CZK versions, but I included some best effort models for other currencies too (I included the measurements on the page if you want to verify them).

*I should note I have no idea what I am doing, I'm self-taught
