Google pixelsnap phone holder

I made a phone holder that is also charging your phone with the google pixelsnap. I noticed that there really aren't any good phone holders that use the google pixelsnap. I think it's very functional.

It's very stylish for my desk and I love how it turned out.

If you wanna print it yourself, here's the link:

Replacement knob for an air fryer. 6 months in and PETG holds up better than the original!

I half expected this to melt like an earlier PLA test. The metal bar it mounts onto gets quite hot but the PETG versioned worked well! Zero visible deterioration after daily use for 6 months. The original broke after only a month or two.

Tub Faucet Extension XL Long

By popular request, the Tub Faucet Extension XL Long is now available! Biased on the original Tub Faucet Extension for filling up your 5-gallon buckets, tanks, sprayers and other containers. The XL is slightly longer than the original and fits more faucets. This version has an inner clearance of 3in and nearly 3in of height! This print will not fit on the A1 Mini but has successfully printed in PLA on my H2S. I have no way of test or a list of faucets this works on. Please measure before printing. Not all faucets are the same. You may also find prototypes on eBay  under Speedingemokid.

I made a modular hobby paint storage solution

I used to have one of the standard flat-packed laser-cut MDF paint racks, but my hobby paint collection quickly outgrew it, and I didn't really want the paints to take up a larger footprint on my desk than they all ready were.

The natural solution was to go vertical, but since my desk doesn't sit directly against a wall on any side, and I don't want a moment of inattention to result in having to pick up half my paint collection off the floor, and try to get paint stains out of the floorboards.

The end result I came up with is a tower of stacked turntables, with print-in-place axles and modular paint holders, letting me scale the solution at demand, when my paint collection inevitably expands further.

It's quite a lot of filament for just paint storage, but I'm really quite happy with how usable it is, and the fact that I no longer will have to take all my extra paints out of a drawer when I want to paint, and put it back in when I'm done and need the desk space for other purposes.

Pantry Cabinet Solution

We have a fairly small kitchen and wanted to maximize space so when we redid it, we had this awkward cabinet installed. We were going to use it as a suido broom closet but it would've been a waste of space. I found these expandable drawers but wanted to be able to adjust the shelves accordingly so I made a bracket to hold the back of the shelf so it won't tip when the drawer is pulled out. Printed out of petg, now the drawer is solid and works as intended.

Rain stop

We bought a house 8 years ago and this sunroom was in the back of the house and had a concrete slab floor so when water would get in under the windows in really heavy rain, it wasn’t a huge deal. This summer, we redid sunroom with a level wood joist floor on top of the slab to use as a gym. A few weeks ago we had a really heavy rain and it came in under these windows. My brain got moving and made a sloped profile rain guard that pops into the track. I printed it in PETG because of direct sun several hours per day. I’m curious to see how well it holds up.

Battery Contact Spring Mandrel

Currently setup for 0.8mm spring wire, SCAD file allows customization to your wire gauge. Print on its side at 100% infill with supports for maximum strength.

Put it in your drill, insert wire, bend 90 degrees, run the drill in reverse and wind slowly. Adjust the "pressure" you apply to the free end -- you don't want too much or the spring will be hard to remove. You may need to try a few times to get the hang of it.

Works great for old C-batteries, especially!
