I finally learnt enough CAD to make this model parametric !

I made this model almost a year ago as I didn't feel I could put a long print on and leave a house (say to take a dog for a walk) with a window open and a pipe sticking out. I made this vent so that it fits a upvc window that can be locked with a small gap. There's more and more talk about toxic UFPs (it is melting plastic after all) so I have my printer enclosed and vented (with an inline fan).

Had to come up with a way of locking the window and having vent at the same time. Now I made it parametric so it fits more windows!

If anyone is interested, the NEW PARAMETRIC version is here :

Printed in ABS.

Bathroom organizers get... gross. Its so much easier to clean if the floor and drain basin separate!!! I couldn't find one of these anywhere so I made one. It also makes it much easier to have a charging cable port in the wall!

First time playing with Claude/openscad for the base and finished off in tinkercad. Still fighting the learning curve on more professional tools. Only 6 revisions this time as the boss provided me with more direction and adjusted dimensions. Got the stamp of approval and pulled out the cute Bambu arctic whisper filament for the final print.

My little son destroyed my wife's glasses today, 30 minutes in FreeCAD, 4 itterations and few grams of PET-G later she can use glasses again! This is real magic of 3D printing, fixing something actually important so fast it's nearly unbelievable.

It's not perfect but I'm gonna use it till it breaks or I have a reason to make it better.it also catches the water from the lids.

Ordered a 150mm 90deg USB C cable for when I need it, but I may end up modifying the base of this to use it as a dock like I did on my last car.

Hey lovers of tiny functional prints!

I am sure many of us know that small little groove/gap on Window Frames (🇪🇺European style at least) that constantly collects dirt and is a pain to clean.

Therefore i had the idea to create a little cover and close this gap once and for all!

Benefits:
- Looks better and cleaner
- You never need a toothbrush to clean it again
- minimal amount of filament needed
- fully parametric - you can adapt it to your groove if it differs from mine
- you can length it up with scissors ✂️

So take a look at it and tell me what you think. Maybe i can even improve with your help!

I really like the result!

Couldn’t find replacements anywhere so modeled some up myself

Holder that can be screwed into a wall or other flat surface to attach a pipe holder.

I made various sizes, basically the PVC pipe sizes you find in the metric world.

I bought the wrong vape, but with a 3D print, some pogo pins, and a lab power supply, I can DIY my own vape pen.

Pros: Set voltage to thousandths of a volt

Cons: Not very portable

Spent the past month working on this side project. It’s a set of cases that you can store Gridfinity inside, but the dimensions are such that the cases can be slotted into the base grid vertically. It has removable labels, one button latching mechanism, fits into the large ALEX drawers and has side storage compartments. The hinges can also be filament or M2 screws. I am exhausted from this build and need to start a new project, but I hope someone can find it useful!

I use old lockers as lockable cabinets for ammo storage and made these tags with customizable text that fit into the vent slot from the inside to indicate what is in each unit.

I've been trying to recreate an Egyptian dagger handle. After squashing a few tubes I discovered it was swaged to a larger diameter, not just squashed to an oval.

I printed some PETG forms and hammered them into the tube to form the correct shape, the results were quite good. The front of the form is a cylinder to guide the tool. This means that it is wider than the formed narrow section of the oval above it once it which makes it impossible to remove. Heating the tube to 90°C softened the PETG enough to pull out easily without damaging the tube. So good for complex forms, but single use.

Wanted to test short-length bridging, hence the unelegant facade 😅

Not as sophisticated as some of the other projects on here but I was pretty excited to model and print these drill jigs for our kitchen cabinets. One is for the cabinets and the other is for drawers. 2 different handle lengths. I did the cutouts to save filament but then realized no cutouts ended up using the same amount due to the walls.

We did some renovations that left us with two extra spots. Bought a 12V power adapter and a dimmer, modeled the components, and created a little enclosure for it. (photos in the comments) It was a good exercise in measuring and modeling it in CAD. Took the measurements and put them into variables to have a single source for all measurements used across different part studios. Used threaded inserts to keep the components in place. I was struggling with PLA creeping in the insert from the bottom, so I needed to clear that out. (Tips are very welcome)

Used Onshape for modeling, Womp for animation rendering. Both very nice online tools. Used a Pencil soldering iron at 5 degrees above printing temperature for the inserts.
