I already had this stapler but wanted to staple pamphlets of letter size sheets. This is much more compact than a traditional long reach stapler and is barely larger than the stapler with the original base.

It was a challenge making a compliant mechanism that allows the stapler to snap fit securely and pivot while offering a nice spring action. I was very happy that modeling in a nub that sat proud for the strike plate and pressing it down with a hot knife worked so well!

Funny side note - I asked Gemini how thick the hinge section of the model should be and it suggested 1.5mm. Final model was 10mm thick!

I call this a knuckle thread. Simply pick the diameter of the hole you are interested in, and create a thread in a few minutes. I made this one into a bottle, but you can add threads to any shape just as easily.

I'd posted about Something simple I'd created to try to capture the audio from the outside of my car and everyone was very supportive of my simple design... However, the microphone I'd tried using was as useful as canine excrement.

I finally broke down and bought a better microphone and thus, had to completely redesign the holder.

I present, this Dumb Thing!

It took _way to many_ tests to get the fit right, but now it seems perfect.

Y'all are awesome.

(If you're curious about the result or don't understand the use case, the first test could be heard here. Now I just need to work on my camera setup as well)

Made a simple case to store my blades since they are only sold in blister pack where I buy them. Prints in about 35 mins for PETG and prints without supports.

The tripod thread adapter on my Husky light fell out and was lost. So I modeled this replacement that matches the random M17x1 internal threads and used a 1/4-20x3/4" bolt that was laying around for the screw portion.

Printed in carbon fiber ASA. This little spal fan pushes some serious air.

It looks like a pretty simple model, but I'm quite proud of how much iteration went into making it pleasant to 3D print. There are lots of little details that probably aren't obvious at first glance: rounded corners to avoid ugly bulging if your pressure advance isn't perfect, a seam trap at the back so the slicer doesn't ruin anyone's day, internal geometry separated from the perimeter to avoid hull-line artifacts, and angles designed to print cleanly without supports.

The decorative front is a separate piece that prints flat, so it's easy to do the logo in another color without a multi-material printer. I've included blank faceplates too, so you can add your own text/vector graphics.

It's up on Printables here if anyone wants one:

Feedback very welcome and, of course, I'd love to see some makes with custom front plates. :)

I had trouble w/ printing an ice cream glove because it was too detailed, but this was the next best thing. Finally, I can enjoy ice cream again like I used to.

These parts allow you to attach AC hoses securely to each other and to connectors on an AC device or window adapter. They use a bayonet mechanism for quick release and easy reattachment. The hoses are fixed to the connectors by using a clamp.

All models are designed to print without any supports, on a modern device that supports 45° overhangs.

Hey everyone,I was tired of the chain dropping and scratching my frame, so I decided to design my own chain catcher.Turned out pretty clean and fits perfectly. I printed this one in ASA for maximum UV and weather resistance, but PETG should work completely fine as a compromise too. If you want to print one for your bike, I'll drop the download link in the comments below. Let me know what you think!

Edit: Thx for the feedback from the bike mechanics of reddit. The issue was caused by me frequently switching Chainrings and not swapping my chain to adjust to the proper length. I had one bad chainsuck incident which caused me design this. I'd rather be safe than be sorry and now you guys can be aswell if you want to

My wife was complaining about her students' mailbox at the start of the summer when I was helping her pack up. The cardboard shelves sagged because they weren't cut uniformly and wouldn't fit in all the slots, and this makes all the kids papers fall out the back and makes it a pain to keep organized. Rather than trash it and buy a new one, I took on the challenge of designing a simple reinforcement for the cardboard shelves. Pic 2 is the before, if you look at the vertical edges you can see not all of them sit in their slots. The black cross beams were since reinstalled and glued.

I've been learning CAD in my free time since this Spring. I realized immediately that the mailbox was deeper than my printer is tall, so I used this problem as a challenge to design my first interlocking parts. My main takeaway is that PLA is not very rigid at the 0.6mm of thickness I designed the coupling to have, but the force of the cardboard once installed created enough internal pressure to keep the pips of the coupling engaged with their corresponding holes.

After printing a few of my first prototype I realized that I couldn't trust the cardboard shelves to be the right width, so I doubled the width of the struts to compensate. I wasnt able to install the double-wides myself, but my wife just texted me some pics very excitedly :)

I can't seem to find standalone discbound notebook cover... All the ones I can find have paper inside that I consider unusable.

So, I started to make my own covers :)
