I saw someone attach a PET bottle to an extension pole and use it to scrape moss off their roof.

So I made an adapter with threads to screw on a PET bottle and tried it myself

[True] Open-Source Parametric 3D Printed Planetary Gearbox

Most of the gearbox designs I saw online are .step or even .stl files that are hard to modify and with no real "design" aforethought, working mostly by accident...

So I made this fully parametric design where you can change gear ratio, module etc...but most importantly, I wanted to follow some kind of a systematic approach.

Truly open source, copy it, modify it, sell it..go wild...

I've designed way too many utility knives lately, so I figured it was finally time to make a proper blade dispenser.

​I was tired of the shitty plastic cases these blades come in — they’re a pain to open and the blades always get stuck. Since I’ve been on a utility knife design spree, I figured it was time for a decent storage solution.

​Designed this with a rotating tray so you can actually grab a blade without fighting the box. I made a desktop base and a wall-mount version since my workbench is always a mess anyway.

Printed on the P1S with Bambu white PLA. No supports on the main body, designed for easy printability.

The stand holds the MagSafe puck via a snap fit, and the cable routes through the base so nothing hangs loose on your desk. Took a few iterations to get the snap tight enough to feel solid but easy enough to assemble without tools.

Part of a larger modular Apple desk system im working on.

I needed something more in my office, so I designed, prototyped, and 3d printed this modular wall organizer.

The story.

I made this to solve a problem: my stuff is always sitting in different places, which does two things. It means that it takes me longer to find, and it doesn't get shown off; it's just there. So I decided to design a wall organizer. When I started designing this, I had a few rules for myself: firstly, that it had to be modular. Then it also had to be something that I would actually put on my wall and use every day. I also designed the main pen bin with a rounded shape because it has a very welcoming feel and would add visual appeal. If you have a 3d printer and want to print this, here are the free files: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2769256-wall-organizer-modular-design-slatted-panel-v1#profileId-3075757

Hi guys! I wanted to share with you some angle brackets that I made!

What do you think about it?

I have 3 different version, If you want to check and tell me how to improve them would be so nice!

I’ve been working on a new sculptural piece that serves absolutely no practical purpose! It’s made of 25 individually printed pieces in petghf that are glued together and adhered to a plywood backer.
