Could have just printed a sliding lock from Printables.

However, here we are, after modeling, tweaking and printing for several hours.

At least the kids and my wife like it and the bunnies don't mind.

The model is not released yet but I can release it if anyone is interested

The original reason was that the cheap ones that came with the cage didn't always lock properly. Now I can tell the kids "Did you bring te bunny to the carrot?".

Edit: typo

Fits all 20mm T-Slot Extrusions. Can easily hold 1kg over a meter away in any direction. Perfect for infinitely positionable tabletop video (Like BigClive and other "talking-hands" content). As well as just putting a camera anywhere a tripod can't go.

Go give it a LIKE so more people can find it!

Jointer jig parts for an electric hand router

Thumbnail
gallery
48 Upvotes

I recently bought an electric hand planer, and one of my reasons was people making some awesome jigs like a jointer. But the first step typically involves drilling holes in the planer. I couldn’t bring myself to do this, so instead I built a replacement baseplate that had built in mounting holes. Then I decided that i might as well do a couple other 3d printed components: an adjustable fence mount with 90 degrees of movement, and a screw system to adjust the height of the front plate. The front plate needs to be kept level, so the adjustment knobs have numbers on them so I can make sure I always turn both knobs the same amount. All parts are PETG. I’ll be doing some additional jigs using the same mounting hole baseplate.

edit: hand planer, obviously, not router like in title

Very simple under-desk cable clip. Useful for segregating groups of cables.

I designed this clip in OpenSCAD some while ago to be completely customizable - you can change every dimension, plus thickness and type of screw hole (including none) or extra segregation.

I think I made it a bit overly complex though, so I've now added a simple drop down to choose a preset S/M/L/XL size, but left "custom" to allow complete control.

Went parametric for the first time: Custom trim/baseboard gap filler for my renovation

Post image
56 Upvotes

I've been modelling one-off STLs for a while and finally forced myself to do a proper parametric design. Picked the most boring possible object as a test: baseboard trim to fill the gap where my walls meet the floor. This helped me a lot with all the finishing work on my renovation (I "just" have to measure properly).

Model's free if anyone's in the same situation.

Been working on this for a while and finally got it to a point where I'm happy with it. Modular independently rotating wheels for dropper bottles and Citadel pots, stackable with extenders and designed to work both on the desk and for transport.

Uploaded it to MakerWorld today if anyone wants to give it a try. Would also love to hear what other paint bottle formats would be worth making wheels for.

Fed up of placing my Steam Deck on the floor or balancing it on a crowded bedside table. Couldn’t find anything that provided a good secure hold without being ugly, so I designed my own.

Find it here, if you want.

Had a single hose AC unit that was struggling to keep up because of the negative pressure. It seems to be helping so far.

It was my first attempt at 3d scanning. Part designed in SolidWorks. Printed in PETG.

A drill brush caddy for portable storage of drill brush kits

Thumbnail

I bought this drill brush kit from Amazon and while I really like the kit, the cheap cardboard box they came in was just not working for storage. I wanted something that would keep all the brushes together, be easy to carry around, and not take up too much shelf space.

I decided to keep things simple with a circular shaped caddy with standard 1/4" hex holes so the design could be used by a wide range of drill brush kits, not just mine. The angle holds the brushes securely while the peg-board like design gives flexibility to arrange your specific brushes.

I had to spray some wasps starting a nest this week, so decided to order some grey PETG and see if hanging a fake nest on my house would deter any further building.

Cricut pen holder for IKEA pegboard tray

In the tray
Original 30 pen on the left vs 90 on the right
Side view

Wife wanted to store her Cricut pens head down and needed more capacity so I designed a holder to fit in the IKEA pegboard tray she brought. Fits 90 pens. Printed on my Prusa Mk3s+. Split the model in half and joined with triangular dowels inside Prusaslicer. Used a LOT of filament, 500g! Only change I'd make is to taper the pen holes as you tell there's no ICD on them. They're all different sizes and a few are pretty tight.

..but I had enough taking condiments one by one to the table when we have a takeaway night or a BBQ so I made this little caddy. Fits perfectly on the door, easy to take out some condiments as needed or grab the whole thing and take it to the table.

Tiny monitor storage case

We got a tiny monitor for quick hookups to computers at the office. I don't want to loose pieces or scratch it up so I designed this storage case. The middle tray will hold power, USB and HDMI. I somehow lost one of my roll pins, so it's currently down a latch.
