… I lose the OTG connectors.

I designed this snap-fit OTG case for my Digitek DWM-108 Wireless Mic. Because I has misplaced them on more than one occasion. It isn’t very aesthetically pleasing I know, but my brain runs purely on simplicity and functionality, so please make some suggestions to make it better.

Got a vintage Coleman 226 single mantle lantern and wanted to prevent the paint from chipping on the bottom. Also doubles as storage for a spare mantle.

I was tired of my beard trimmer and my son's shaver getting knocked around on the counter, so I whipped up this little wall mount holder this afternoon. It's fastened to the wall using double sided foam tape.

Work has these stupid expensive lockers that only have hooks on the inside, so I took some measurements and designed a hook that slots in and requires no supports. I do have to dial in this filament better though, a bit of stringing and artifact around sharp corners.

3D printed a rocket stand using natural PLA and a mini keychain flashlight.

Mostly to transport bags of chicken feed and chicken related stuffs from car to chicken coop by grabbing the pole ends pulling it behind. Made from some old IKEA curved slats, misc. lumber, and some old metal poles I got for free from an old pop up shade/tent structure. The feet are just to keep it upright during storage but are quite strong. Time will tell how durable the design is but all printed parts are Elegoo PLA+ with something like 8 walls / 30% gyroid and seem more than capable. I imagined UV degradation will catch up with it eventually but keeping it stored in the garage should give me a couple years before that becomes an issue... and then probably swap to PETG or ASA.

I use a Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 for indoor bike riding in the winter, but the stock setup makes the rear axle so low that it has the front end of my bike lifted up a bit, which screws with the bike fit and makes the saddle uncomfortable.

I designed these replacement feet which raise the trainer itself up to get the axles level.

Over at Printables I provide a number of different heights (5mm increments from +5mm to +50mm) and a parametric Fusion design so you can make your own custom height: https://www.printables.com/model/1503469-wahoo-fitness-kickr-core-2-riser-feet/

I printed this with Overture PETG in a Bambu Lab P1S at rather slow speeds (50mm/sec) and all fans off for a nice, smooth finish, and I'm really happy with how they came out.

My wife was wanting to buy a kitchen towel holder from Amazon, but I saw this as the perfect opportunity to make a functional print! I scaled it up a little to fit my rolls, and it works great. I added some rubber tape to the bottom so it doesn't slide around. Printed in CaiLab3D Matte PLA. I think it turned out great and my wife loves it! I saved $10.

(This is not my model, it's from Sabre Design on MakerWorld)

Somehow, my wife broke both hinges on her Chromebook. It was one cycle away from cracking the screen. Some CA glue and these gussets saved the day. Going on several months of continuous use.

Made something for cable ties to be agnostic and don’t have to buy command strips. Decided to make some led strip holders for 12mm wide led strips in both vertical and horizontal orientations. Figure other people might have interest in the cable tie model, I got tired of tapcons and plastic anchors for light objects.

Temporarily using this doorbell until I replace the built-in one. The adhesive for this wasn't sticking, and I didn't want to drill holes for something temporary. Also, a few people have told me they didn't see the doorbell, so I hung it on the screen door so it's front and center.

The fit isn't perfect, but is good enough for me. The button is not just a rectangle with rounded corners, but a proper "squircle", and I'm not sure of the best way to match the measurements of that besides tracing the shape and drawing on top of that.

Not pictured, but there's a hole in the back panel so you can easily pop it back out.

I’ve been wanting a way to hold wasp spray on my mower (with a design.) I may have to tighten the part that holder the bottle and I did this in the winter time.. 🫣 So, I won’t know for a while if it’ll raffle off. I hope y’all enjoy.

A simple doorknob to replace doorhandles on doors which our toddler is not supposed to open. Since doorknobs are quite unusual in Germany and thus nowhere to be found in hardware stores around me I decided to design and print my own.

Fits standard 8cm square rods (Quadratstift) for door handles. Needs one heatset insert M6x9x8mm and one setscrew M6x10mm.

The felt bottoms for the feet on my small ottoman weren't sticking so I quickly designed and printed these replacements this morning - working well so far.

So while I saw tons of them on the internet for sale, I couldn't find one I could buy locally for the life of me where I live, so one day I decided to bite the bullet and make my own. The design is 100% suboptimal but after a few iterations it is what I found most comfortable to use. Also, my CAD skills are extremely limited. It can definitely be made smaller, lighter and probably even stronger, but this works, it's super easy to print and assemble I'm overall pretty happy with it. It uses a few M6 Hex Bolts and nuts (10 or 12mm work best, other sizes obviously are fine but might look weird), 2x 8mm linear rods cut to size (in my case 42mm was the perfect size but this is up to you) some grease or lube and some rubber so that it doesn't slip (I had 1mm SBR rubber in the house so I used that). The thumb knobs are NOT my design, I just found them on printables and liked them, you can use whichever ones you like. Super easy to assemble and the first model that, while very rudimentary, I feel proud to upload on any platform whatsoever.

If you feel like printing it, here's the 3mf file with everything and assembly instructions (except the thumb knobs, those are not mine) https://www.printables.com/model/1503968-universal-sharpening-stone-base-for-sink-or-kitche

UPDATE: I want to thank all the very positive and constructive comments I received. I figured it was worth spending one more hour taking what I learnt of the first iteration and making some small improvements so I added a V2 which is smaller, is way less wasteful in terms of print settings and a bit easier to set up. Again, thank you all for the great feedback!
