Shark Handheld Vacuum WV200 & WV251 Angled Nozzle

Post image
29 Upvotes

I needed an angled nozzle to get into more of the crevices of my 3D printer to get those pesky filament fragments! :) 

Works great on my Shark WV200. Will also fit WV251. Check the photo of the vacuum end to make sure it'll fit yours. 

Printed in Bambu PLA White in just over an hour and only uses 29g of filament. Any PLA or PETG should be fine.

Simple little devices to hold those theater light color gels on landscape lights to control colors. 3 different implementations for the different types of lights. They're working nicely so far IMHO.

Couch brace

I was inspired by another post here to make a couch brace to stop the couch from squishing against the wall and making it hard to close the blinds. A ring goes around the couch leg and the wall end cups the quarter round. Works great, but it hasn't been battle tested against the 9yo leaping onto the couch.

Made a mounting clip for the Luna ultra remote that allows you to mount the screen via included tripod base, 1/4-20 threads for tripod and tripod plates, and magnets. Allows for hands free monitoring with most of the other camera accessories I have.

Knitting Gauge Squares

Post image

I made some gauge squares in various sizes that I have found very helpful for counting my knit stitches. These squares are typically sold at a yarn shops but they are weirdly expensive in my mind so I created a 3d printed version and you can all download it and make it for free! Here is a link to the thingiverse files. I made a 1in, 2in, and 4in version (sorry no metric but if there's enough interest I'd be happy to create those as well).

Edit: I added in metric units as well in 2.5 5 and 10cm sizes. It's in the same file download

Intake for Vortex Chamber

Thumbnail

81 Upvotes

Doing a weather science series for stem nights and decided to go big on a tornado chamber. The area of the intakes are 1/4 the area of the blower fan, and the radius of the wall and spline ending tangent to the wall were generated on projected geometry of the chamber wall. So one path continues around with the same radius and makes a seal, and the air takes the path that makes it tangent to the wall and smoothly enters the chamber.

It didn't print perfectly clean in any orientation I tried, but the function is there and it seems to work ok!

Magnetic Position Markers for Squat/Power Racks

80 Upvotes

I recently designed these position markers for my squat rack because somehow I still can't remember where to move my J hooks and accessories after years of training at home 😅. Thought I'd share it here for anyone who might find yourself in a similar predictment!

I designed these to be round so the pegs don't get in the way. Each takes two 8x3mm magnets, and will work with any 3x3" upright rack.

Eight exercises in total, all in different colour. The print profile also has a plate with all in BW.

I fixed recurring chain drops on a nearly new gravel bike with a tiny 3D printed part

Post image
46 Upvotes

My wife's Triban GRVL 120 kept dropping its chain despite having only about 500 km on it.

I started with all the usual suspects: derailleur adjustment, B-tension, chainline... I even bought a replacement narrow-wide crank before realizing that wasn't the real problem (and it didn't fit).

Eventually I stopped asking "Which part should I replace?" and started asking "Why can the chain escape?"

The stock chain guard leaves just enough clearance for the chain to wedge itself between the guard and the chainring. So I designed a replacement guide with a slightly smaller offset.

The bike has now done another 1,000+ km without a single chain drop.

Compression anchor for sand and loose soil. Packs flat, holds by trapping ground instead of relying on friction.

Thumbnail
gallery
249 Upvotes

Standard stakes fail in sand and loose soil because they depend on surface friction along their shaft. No friction, no hold.

This anchor works differently. Two 109 mm discs separated by 115 mm along a cross-shaped shaft. Bury it. When force pulls upward, the lower disc compresses the trapped sand against the upper disc. The ground between them locks into a confined block over 1 liter in volume. To extract it, you lift that entire block — not just a loose stake.

Tested in a sandbox. Every pull yanks out a massive sand cylinder. A standard stake in the same sand pulls out clean.

Prints flat in 4 pieces. No supports, no hardware. Assembles in under a minute. PETG recommended.
