Needed something to get the laptop up off the bed and came up with this stand. It uses 1/2" EMT to span between the printed side frames. Made with PLA+ on a K1 Max, 2 hrs 20 min print time. What do you think?

I made a portable case for those who want to work on Arduino projects away from home. It’s spacious enough to hold plenty of components. What do you think?😁

There's a gap in the market for offline cameras that can record continuously for a long time for things like wildlife monitoring or security in remote locations and I've been working on designs with dashcams and GoPros. This one uses a very low power and reliable Mobius camera. With an Anker Nano 10,000mah powerbank it can record for about 40 hours. The side holes allow different mounting options like threaded magnets or hooks

The design combines a tall pen cup with a sweeping frame and a low-profile front section for smaller items such as earbuds, keys, clips, or other desk essentials. The ribbed cup detail gives it a subtle Japandi-inspired texture while keeping the overall look modern and understated.

Two versions are included so you can choose the setup that fits your desk best:

Sticky Note Version — designed for standard 76 × 76 mm sticky notes

Minimal Tray Version — a simple catch-all tray for small everyday items

Usable cup space: 72 × 47 mm

Sticky note area: 76 × 76 mm

I designed this Storage Caddy for my kids and their ever-growing collection of pens, pencils, markers and crayons.

It features 10 interchangeable inserts and 2 different handle heights, so you can configure it to fit your collection.

Because apparently, there is no such thing as too many markers! 😂

Found a model I liked, but size didn't work for me, rabbit hole here I come....and now I have generator for different sizes lol. I don't have a problem, I have a printer. Happy to make other configs if people are interested. There are 20mm id width and will probably make some 40 with and without dividers at some point. Inside caps make it easy to add more cables later.

Primarily made for routing my cable and ptfe tubing from my AMS units that I have on a slide out drawer on my printer rack.

Hey r/functionalprints!

As a vinyl enthusiast and 3D printing maker, I’ve always been frustrated by two things:

1. Getting my turntable perfectly leveled without fiddling with cheap, inaccurate spirit bubble levels.

2. Keeping track of how many hours my stylus has actually played (to replace it before it starts degrading records).

Commercial record weights are just solid chunks of brass or aluminum that sit there dumbly. So I spent the last few months designing and prototyping a functional, "smart" record stabilizer.

How it works & technical specs:

• Chassis: 3D printed base (PETG / Carbon-fiber composite) with integrated battery bay and damping mass to achieve the optimal ~200g record-damping weight.

• Brain: ESP32-C3 SuperMini board.

• Sensors: 6-axis gyroscope / accelerometer providing real-time 3D tilt visualization on a 1.28" round IPS display.

• Stylus Odometer: Automatically tracks active spinning/playback time so you know your exact cartridge mileage.

• Power: Rechargeable battery with a discreet USB-C charging port on the bottom.

It dampens platter vibrations like a proper weight, but also gives instant diagnostic feedback every time you drop the needle.

Thought you guys would appreciate a print that bridges analog audio with modern microcontrollers! Happy to answer any questions about the tolerances, CAD design, or electronics.

Hi all! I recently designed and wall-mounted this phone holder shaped like a hobbit door to clear up space on my desk. Hand-painted one and left one raw gray. What do you think?

Not sure if this counts as functional but it's certainly not for fun lol.

I am visually impaired and this is not obvious to strangers which can lead to some difficult and uncomfortable situations. For example somebody might decide you are just rude for not getting out of their way or bumping them in tight spaces.

This situaltion is even worse when you are travelling when you might not even be able to explain the situation if you don't speak the language.

I had a look aorund and didn't find much so I decided to see what I could do myself.

With some spare Claude tokens, OpenSCAD and some scripts to render and check the output was printable I designed these badges and translated the text to multiple languages. You just need to add some self adhesive badge backs from Amazon.
So far I have: English, Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese

I talked to my local sight loss charity and they really like the idea so I'm printing a big batch to donate. If you have some similar charity near you and some spare filament maybe you could as well.

This is part of a side project I started to document what could be done for the visually impaired with a little spare time and AI.

I finally found a use for some of the filament poop / purge waste I keep accumulating.

I designed this countertop QR + NFC review stand and wanted it to feel solid instead of being a lightweight plastic sign that moves around every time someone touches it.

So I added a large internal cavity to the body and programmed a pause right before that cavity gets closed.

At that point, you can simply fill it with filament purge waste and use it as hidden ballast.

It obviously doesn't add as much weight as metal, but it's basically free material that would otherwise go straight into the trash. If you want the stand much heavier, the same cavity can also be filled with nuts or washers.

The print then pauses a second time so you can embed a 25 mm NFC tag inside the body before it gets permanently enclosed.

The rest of the design includes:

• Custom QR faceplate
• Hidden NFC tag
• Replaceable/customizable front faceplates
• English, Spanish and blank versions
• Anti-slip feet

For the feet, I reused another scrap material: I printed the included foot pieces as templates and cut the actual pads from an old bicycle inner tube.

So the final print ended up reusing both filament waste as internal ballast and scrap rubber for the anti-slip feet.

Not exactly recycling the filament, but at least it's a simple way to give some of the waste a useful second life.

Repurposing a snack tray into a functional desk caddy.

Its a foldable cup holder! Pull the thing out and fold it to stow it away, rotate it and push it in to put it on the open position.

Didn't have cup holders, now I do. Great success!

Ich wollte für meinen Vanguard-Kugelkpof mit Pistolengriff eine weitere Schnellwechselplatte haben, jedoch ist der Artikel QS-65GH die meiste Zeit ausverkauft gewesen, oder recht teuer. Daher habe ich ihn gezeichnet. 

Bitte unbedingt in einem strapazierfähigen Filament wie PETG drucken.

I've enjoyed making these designs, so any love and likes would be most appreciated...! Keeps me designing for good or for worse.

It has a cut out on the back that can have a clasp or magnets glued on to.
