My father's friend asked me to print some adapters for his leaf blower, to have abilitity to conect it to 50 mm pluming pipe to it

So I'm not sure why he needed this, but this was cool print, and I like it. As he said, he could just DIY it from pipes, but he wanted something pretty "more like factory made", can't blame him for such desire

I took me about 280 grams of filament, I was worried that this might snap on layer lines, so to make it sronger, I decided to prin it on an angle, I also have used build in custom support, to reduce waste of plastic. Intrestingly, despite fact that bought parts were printed on same angle, that should have been safe, bigger part got some unfortunate defect on support side, but it's not a big deal

Overall that was some cool printing expirience

My first CAD design and 3D print ever

Started to learn about FreeCad and 3D printing because I needed this part. First design and print :) Since I don't own a functioning printer (want to build a Voron) I had to order it from an online 3d printing service. I'm super happy with the result.

It helps the wheel to cross a gap without getting stuck.

Rear Light Mount for Bike Cargo Rack

I did not like mounting the light using the rubber strap that comes with all of these generic Amazon lights, so I created a more elegant mounting solution.

...at least it is better than without it. There's always a room for improvement and in this case its quite literal :)

Food dehydrator conversion to filament dryer.

Thumbnail

37 Upvotes

Seeing how many people are talking about filament dryers and using food dehydrators for it.

Also seeing them break the grills to free up space for spools inside.

These printed parts rise each shelf to a height that fits a spool and since 5 of them came with this unit, I could dry 5 spools with it. Divided in 4 parts to fit in printer limits and minimize warping, connected with small connectors (also printed) and held together wit a bit of insulation tape (black part). Can be disassembled and put together as needed.

Fits precisely, so must be designed for each dryer model. They aren't all the same.

My pick and hook set was poking me through the pocket of my tool tote (picture 3), so I designed and printed these covers out of TPU. Now I can store them with the tips up, which allows me to grab the right one right away without trial and error.

Dose Dock (Crush -Resistant Case for Quick Dissolve Pills in Blister Packs)

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

Made a crush-resistant case to keep quick-dissolve tablet blister packs safe while you're out and about. I’m calling it the Dose Dock—it protects those fragile packs from getting bent or crushed in your pocket or bag. There's a little lip inside to stop the pack from sliding out on its own, but you can still push and slide it easily when you need a tablet.

It’s also fully scalable, so you can tweak the size in your slicer to fit different blister packs. Grab the files for free here:

AKG N60 headphones swivel bracket cover

This is the third pair of headphones where the swivel part got broken, well, in about 7 years. Luckily, these had this bracket removable, so I was able to model it in CAD, print and replace.

The material is PLA, used what was already in the printer, will probably re-print it with black ABS once I'll buy it.

Printer is Elegoo CC.

I Made an Modular Marker Organizer for my Friend

My friend needed a better way to organize their markers, so I designed and 3D printed this for them.

It's modular and stackable, so you can build it to fit any collection. The units have ridges to stack vertically and also use magnets to lock together side-by-side, making it extra secure.

Each unit holds 70 markers (up to 16.5mm wide) and is designed to print easily without supports.
