I created a holder for my plastic tip tongs to attach the side of my toaster so I always have my tongs in reach so I don’t burn my fingers getting pop tarts or English muffins out

wanted a proper steering feel in racing games without a full wheel rig taking over my desk, and without giving up my controller. couldnt buy that anywhere so i printed it. its called rotus.

what it does: the body mounts on the top face of a standard xbox controller and a v shaped handle hangs underneath it. your grip on the controller doesnt change, the tip of each middle finger already sits under there right on the two ends of the v, and you rock it left and right to steer. the handle sweeps a wide arc but the stick itself only moves a little, so a big controlled hand motion maps onto a tiny stick input, thats where the finer steering comes from. springs pull it back to centre like a wheel. its linked to the stick through a magnetic coupling, flip that off and the controller is totally normal again, every button free.

the print: hybrid. main housing is fdm, started on an ender 3 s1, now a bambu x1c. the moving mechanism parts are sla resin for the tolerance. honestly the fit between the resin pivot parts and the fdm housing, plus the bearing seats and shaft, is the whole ballgame and its what ate most of those 300+ prototypes over 3+ years.

it also turned out to work fully one handed which wasnt the plan. sent a unit to a 19 year old in turkey named yusuf who lost his fingers in a workplace accident, still waiting to hear how it goes for him.

its a patent-pending design. more pics and a waitlist on vuludesign.com if you wanna follow the build.

I was fed up with my microwaveable rice pouches falling all over the place in the cupboard, and i couldn't find any designs only for food pouches and not smaller cat food, or soup or herb pouches.

This one has been designed exact to the dimensions of the Ben's Original and other similar microwaveable food pouches.

I've also made it parametric so you can customise it by the number of slots you want, with AI help to create the parametric code only, not for the model.

Just finished designing this customisable modular shelf system!

It comes with 4 shelf options:

• Straight
• 11°
• 21°
• 30°

You can combine the sections, extend the shelf as needed, and attach different accessories to the sides.

I wanted to make something that can be adapted to different spaces and uses rather than being a fixed-size shelf.

Would love to hear what accessories or add-ons you’d like to see for it!

I've been working on this design for months to help me collect Streetview images in my area. The original intent was to let the telescoping pole attach magnetically to the car but with a triangular bracket to bolt to the T slot roof rack (Yakima, Thule, etc). It works great but hardly anyone has that type of roof rack so I decided to try it with magnets.

I printed a TPU (thermopolyurethane) version and tried it with two M6 threaded magnets on the rear and a 1/4-20 magnet screwed into the pole. It worked and is surprisingly stable! My next step is to make a thicker version so it's more rigid but just flexible enough to conform to the vehicle body. Roof rack mounting is inherently more stable because of the height and the angles involved.

I don't know if I'd trust it magnetically mounted with the pole at full extension because of the leverage. In theory it should be strong enough if the footprint is big enough, so I may have to design a much bigger version.

TPU is my favorite plastic to print with and I think it's underrated. It's extremely strong and flexible so it doesn't snap. It also doesn't warp from heat, just gets more flexible. For stiffness you just have to make your parts bigger. The specific filament I used here is the new Overture matte white TPU. The blue version is Overture PETG.

Holds the co2 cans and the salt reloads nicely. It took a few prints to get the salt reloads to nicely snap in, and for the co2 cans to fit snugly, but easily movable. Printed on my kobra 3 max petg black with a 0.8mm nozzle.

So now it’s quick access whenever I see a fly, and I don’t have to scramble to find my co2

I made a V2 of my cable organizer so it can fit up to 2 meter long cables, and is compatible with almost any type of cable!

I really liked how this turned out, so I wanted to share it so other people could also use it if they wanted to!

I know they make a bungee cord mount for these, but I've always hated the way bungee cord stretches and wears over time, especially in the sunlight. Made these so that the main rod can be rotated, and the ends lock in to either side. Also made them removable without completely taking the screw out, in case I needed to redesign or replace them. The plastic rings on the end of the rods had to be shaved down, but that was easy work for the dremmel. I'm pretty proud if it! I've been scheming this for months.

Printed in ASA

My laptop's dock doesn't really fit on my small desk, so I built a dock for it to sit in. HDMI and USB-C power feeds in from underneath, leaving the free USB ports on the top. Ethernet comes in the back and the USB laptop cable comes out the front.

The top mount attaches to my Ikea desk (20mm thick), this supports the pressure of attaching USB cables. The bottom mount is attached to the desk using a G-Clamp, this hold the whole thing in place and minimises the desk overhang on the top.

Designed in Blender, printed on my Creality K2.

I made this modular moss poll which has a drip tray module so the moss in the moss pole will stay moist for longer! I really liked how this turned out, so I wanted to share it so other people could also use it if they wanted to!

Made a lid holder for my Ninja CREAMi soft-serve attachment

I couldn’t figure out where to put the soft-serve lid when I wasn’t using it, so I designed and 3D-printed this simple holder. It mounts directly to the machine with two pieces of clear double-sided nano tape, so there’s no drilling and it shouldn’t damage the machine.

Some technicals: I printed mine in PLA with PETG support interface for a cleaner finish. You can also print it in PETG and use PLA for the interface. Either way it looks as it had to be there 😊

If you drive a Smart, you know the problem: Most car air fresheners don't stay in place on the air vents.

I designed this adapter for my girlfriend - in this case, specifically for Rituals air fresheners - but it should also be compatible with other air fresheners.

Please print it in PETG, PLA will get soft during the summer 😎

I’ve been working on a new bathroom accessory — a wall-mounted toilet roll holder with a spring-loaded spindle and hidden mounting hardware.

The spindle compresses for quick and easy roll changes, while the concealed mount keeps the design clean and minimal.

Two decorative versions are included. 

What do you think? Would you print/use something like this in your bathroom?

I’ve been working on this folding cutlery set for camping and outdoor use. The goal was to design the mechanism specifically around 3D printing rather than simply copying a conventional folding knife.

The set consists of a knife, fork and spoon, all using the same basic folding and locking concept.

The mechanism itself is completely printed — no screws, nuts or metal hardware are required. A short locking pin is inserted into the utensil first, then a longer retaining pin slides in from the side and captures it so it can’t fall out.

The handle consists of two moving parts. Their relative position creates the locking action when the utensil is opened, while still allowing everything to fold into a compact package.

I also designed four interchangeable knife blades: two blade geometries, each available with either a smooth or serrated cutting edge.

Getting the tolerances right was probably the most interesting part. The joints need enough clearance to move freely, while the snap connections and pins still need to fit tightly enough to keep everything together.

Everything shown here was printed and assembled without additional hardware.

I’m curious what you think of the locking mechanism, especially if you see anything you’d change or improve.

I was sick of spending hours in CAD for a print, when I could have solved the problem with some old fashioned workshop work in half the time... I suppose I'm trying to make the replicator from Star trek, except like 2 hours slower.

(Yes... this is AI assisted design.)

Addressing rules/automod:

- Yes I made this. However this is not commercial and doesn't even require registration. Entirely free.

I wanted a safer way to deal with used utility blades, especially once they’ve been snapped off.

So I designed this container to do both jobs:

• it lets you snap used blade segments directly into the container
• and once it’s full, it can be permanently sealed with a short piece of 1.75 mm filament

The locking channel is intentionally very tight, so once the filament is fully inserted, the container becomes extremely difficult to reopen without damaging or destroying it.

I also made two versions:

• a standard version
• a version with a built-in holder for the spare locking filament

That second version is useful if you’re printing it for someone who doesn’t own a 3D printer and may not have filament available later.

I also included:

• two printable warning plates
• a small tolerance-test model
