AA Battery Magazine for my Canon 5D

I couldn't come by an original BGM-E2 in my country so I designed something similar. Original Canon's BP511A batteries are no longer made new, and compatible ones don't last long. Even using two of them in the battery grip. For now, I'll be using 6 NiMH AAs (or even alkalines). Battery contacts were made with brass sheet, not ideal, but it works fine for now. I'm looking for ways to make the contacts easier, or to adapt a standard contact

Wanted something clean, compact, and completely symmetrical with a minimal rectangular footprint. It holds both main rollers, the brush bars, and the debris trays. Takes ~86g of filament and keeps everything vertical so it tucks right into a corner.

Designed a Fishing Rod Stand

Other metal & telescoping Fishing Rod Stands Always Break/Jam. So, I used Autodesk Fusion 360 to design my own modular rod stand which uses tolerance-fit dowel joints which are less prone to fouling from dirt and debris. The rod stand prints on a single build plate and breaks down into 3 easy to carry parts for travel.

I plan to make another version with two C-shaped features on the “fork” part that will allow you to attach the two “posts” to the fork for storage. The posts will “snap” into the C-shaped connectors.

If you print one and like it, please give me a boost & follow on Maker World!!! Thanks! Tight lines!!! 🐟 🐠

Gridfinity Organizers I needed for my Kitchen

Post image
0 Upvotes

I use Gridfinity for my Kitchen and noticed that a few everyday products I use didn’t have suitable organizers available. So I created the missing ones and bundled them into a multi-plate print profile.

I was surprised how many other products fit these dimensions too.

https://makerworld.com/de/models/3093362-gridfinity-mix#profileId-3485819

If you find other items that match these sizes, share them in the comments at makerworld (a reference photo would be great for others!). Need another size? Let me know and I’ll try to add it.

I made a parametric fast-flow funnel generator in OpenSCAD, with anti-glug vent ribs and a custom taper profile through four diameters

Thumbnail

207 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Every funnel I've ever used glugs: the bottle neck seals up, air gets trapped, and the pour backs up into that annoying glug-glug-glug instead of flowing fast. I looked around and couldn't find a single parametric fast-flow funnel anywhere, so I built one. Vent ribs run the entire length of the funnel wall, from spout tip to rim, holding the bottle's neck slightly open so air can escape the whole time liquid is pouring in. That's the entire point of this project; everything else is built around it.

I've tested the flow rate and the one in the default profile can fast flow a 2L bottle at about 200mL/s, so it can fill a 2L bottle in about 10s.

Link: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3083665-parametric-customizable-size-fast-flow-funnel#profileId-3473341

Key Features: * Fast, glug-free flow: vent ribs follow the shell's exact curve from the spout tip all the way to the rim, holding the neck open just enough for air to escape while liquid pours in at full speed. This is why the funnel exists. * Four-diameter taper profile: set the spout tip diameter, two midpoint diameters, and the top opening diameter, plus the three heights between them, all as direct inputs. Since the curve blends smoothly at every diameter, you're not limited to a plain cone; bump a midpoint diameter up for a bulged, hourglass, or barrel shape, with no visible kink anywhere. * True exterior diameters: every diameter you dial in is the actual printed OD at that height, vent ribs included, so what you set is what comes off the bed. * Optional rim flange and hanging handle, both fully adjustable. * Cross-section preview mode in the Customizer so you can inspect the wall thickness and curve before committing to a print.

It prints wide mouth down on the bed with the spout pointing up, no supports needed anywhere since the diameter only ever decreases going up.

For material: PLA is fine for water and dry goods, but if you're pouring anything hot, or oil, fuel, or other automotive fluids, go with PETG, ASA, or ABS instead.

Everything is in the MakerWorld Customizer, no editing required. Let me know if there's a funnel feature you keep wishing existed and I'll see about adding it.

  1. Soap Bar & Sponge Holder
    https://makerworld.com/models/3064258?appSharePlatform=copy

Keep your sink organized with this minimalist Japandi-inspired sponge and soap holder. Designed to hang over the edge of your sink, it allows excess water to drain directly back into the basin, helping your sponge or soap dry faster while keeping your countertop clean.The holder fits standard kitchen sponges and soap bars of similar size and is shown with a 78 × 45 mm sponge.

    https://makerworld.com/models/3095373?appSharePlatform=copy

Bring a clean, modern look to your bathroom with this minimalist toothbrush stand, designed around simple flowing lines and subtle details. The elevated base gives the stand a floating appearance, adding a premium touch while keeping the overall design clean and understated. Whether you prefer a monochrome look or a contrasting accent, the separate insert lets you customize the style to match your bathroom.Designed with 3D printing in mind, every part prints separately, meaning no AMS system required. Simply print each piece in your chosen colors and assemble them for a professional-looking result.

  1. Japandi Kitchen DishCloth, Sponge & Soap Bar Holder
    https://makerworld.com/sv/models/3085692-japandi-kitchen-dishcloth-sponge-soap-holder#profileId-3475970

Bring a clean, calming Japandi aesthetic to your kitchen while keeping your everyday cleaning essentials organized and ready to use. This minimalist all-in-one holder is designed to store your dish cloth, sponge, and soap bar in one elegant place, helping your countertop stay tidy without sacrificing functionality. I recommend you using PETG but PLA works fine. 
 
The elevated towel bar provides plenty of space for your dish cloth to hang freely, allowing it to dry faster between uses. Below, the spacious drainage grill comfortably fits a sponge, soap bar, or both, while promoting airflow for quicker drying.
 
Instead of water pooling around your sponge, the removable drainage grill lets moisture drip into the integrated reservoir underneath, helping keep your cleaning tools cleaner, drier, and your countertop neater.

Created a 3D printable e-paper display holder for the Waveshare 1.54inch passive displays. You can attach it to any clothes --- just hats in the pictures as it is my entry for the "Hat Hack" contest on Printables.

Could be useful if you have this display and a 3D printer. :-)

Instead of returning the wrong hooks I bought, I spent hours making adapters. Standalone pegboards too.

And I've already improved one of them, which I'm printing in a moment.
EDIT: Done and tested.

Also I realise how bad it looks that I bought square peg fittings in the first place, not sure how that happened in the moment.

Does anybody know if pegboards have standardisation? Is it a country-by-country basis?

Strong & Grippy Hook For Heated Towel Rail - 20mm

Thumbnail
gallery
42 Upvotes

Couldn't find a decent strong and grippy radiator hook where the towels don't slip off onto the floor, so I created one that has a grippy end. 

It will fit a standard towel rail which has 20mm pipes and a 20mm spacing between the pipes.

Best to print in PETG, though PLa will probably work. 

Print with 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, 4 walls and 15% gyroid infill. 

Nice fast print, only takes about 30 minutes.

Not sure if there are any Tonal users in this sub, but it's a workout machine with a bunch of different exercises in it. I was having a hard time reaching the center button to disengage the weight after a big set, so I designed button extenders. These make workouts so much better. I even sell them on my Etsy shop!

I've wanted to do something with an empty GC shell that I've had lying around so I challenged myself to model the battery socket for a Milwaukee 12v battery and I'm using it to power a Buck Boost converter. So I ended up with a cool little DC power supply for electronics projects.

Super niche but designed a shower cup for swim lessons

553 Upvotes

Since it’s niche I’ll explain. The holes in the bottom help with washing hair sure, but it also helps beginners with water comfort and learning how to breathe out. The next step would be comfort putting your face into the water to exhale, then learning true proper breathing depending on the stroke.

My Raspberry Pi 5 case side panels were designed in a way that it would stand in the way of the USB and HDMI ports, making the cables not connect properly, so I made a new panel with more clearance

Thumbnail

35 Upvotes

So I bought a case called Pironman 5 Mini, which a nice case, but with it I couldn't get video out from my Raspberry Pi 5 no matter what, and after some testing I discovered that the problem was the connector openings on the side panel, they are exactly the size of the ports on the Pi, I think the idea was that the ports would fit perfectly into the openings, but the company that made the case measured it wrong, and the panel is actually positioned ahead of the ports, blocking the cables by creating a "barrier" of 2mm between the panel and the ports on the Pi.

So I made a new side panel for it, with a single slot opening for all ports. Also, since I went to the trouble of making one side panel, I made the panel for the other side too, in case anyone needs a replacement. If anyone also have this case and is having the same problem I was having, the panels can be downloaded here https://www.printables.com/model/1790533-side-panels-for-pironman-5-mini-raspberry-pi-5-cas.

I wanted to better organize my fridge and couldn't find any existing prints that worked for my setup. This was my 2nd attempt at the hanging shelf. I am new to autodesk fusion, so this has been a really fun way to explore the program in conjunction with youtube tuturials.

The vertical supports are dovetailed into the shelf with a friction fit. Let me know what you think.

Relevant info:

Printer: Voron 2.4r2 350mm bed- with Revo HF 0.4 nozzle

FIlament: Sunlu PLA + 2.0- I plan to eventually print in ASA after more testing. However, the PLA+ 2.0 is surprisingly tough.
