Lid for my Philips Avent bottle warmer
I printed a simple cover for my bottle warmer since it doesn’t come with one. It helps keep dust out of the water when I’m not using it, might help reduce heat loss while it’s warming up, and gives me a spot to put a few things on top when the warmer isn’t in use.

Nothing fancy, just a little practical thing I wanted for my own kitchen. Figured I’d share it in case anyone else finds it useful!
I’ve uploaded the model to MakerWorld if anyone wants to check it out.

USB SD Card Adapter Casing
Hello everyone,
I lost my case for the USB adapter for quite some time now and was wondering how I would go about making one of my own..
Wouldnt need to do much.. simply hold the hardware in place, the USB slot into a slot and let the sd card be removable

I made a spacer to keep your TCG cards upright in a deck box! :)
I wasn't able to find this anywhere online, so I made it myself! Sized to your standard 66x91 TCG outer sleeve for even weight distribution. No more card tilting/bending :D Numbered (no logo) & Plain versions up too!

My favourite functional print! A rack that can be custom spring-fit sized to any shelf and that takes blu-ray, Xbox, PS, and even Switch (with a little optional stopper)
My shelf was slightly too short to hold these vertically, so I made (what I think is) the ultimate customizable rack.
Fits Blu-ray, 4K, PS, Xbox and Switch, and you can customize it to your shelf height. Prints in one go, no supports. Very modular as well with stacking and horizontal adjoining.
I also open sourced it so people can improve further: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3434932-customizable-universal-physical-media-rack#profileId-3916515

Railing plant holder
Wanted to hang some plants on my railing so I mocked this up. Made it two pieces so I can print out the railing piece to be printed in a stronger orientation.

All the fruit fly traps were ugly asf so I made this one that holds a succulent pot
these tiny succulent plants from nursery / hardware store are like 4$ and all have the same size pot and make it look so much nicer in my opinion. fill small amount inside with vinegar or something fermenting if you really want to attract the fruit flies. they go in and usually drown or get stuck, people say to add a drop of soap to make the surface tension drown them but I personally find that just repels them.... make sure you open it outside to check if its working because they sometimes just be chilling on the in side ready to fly away.

My old 1980s window tilt latch mechanism broke. Window was wobbling, without a guiderail. Quickly drew this up, printed PETG 100% infill, replaced inside the housing with the original spring and it works!

Replacement plastic stopper for axel cap
For some reason the axel for my pop up tent is about 3 inches too long. They just provided two plastic spacers and two cap things. The cap on one side caught on something and broke, I lost a spacer and a cap. I was thinking of 3d printing replacements?
Any ideas?

RTIC 52qt Cooler Handle Holder
Long story short I won this cooler in a raffle at a golf outing (along with 4 bottles of bourbon and some bourbon accessories which is what I was putting my tickets in for). It's a really nice cooler, built like a tank, but the handle is just dumb. It's made to lift the cooler and roll it but as soon as you set it down the handle gentle falls to the ground and is super inconvenient. https://rticoutdoors.com/Ultra-Light-Cooler
So I made a automatic handle holder. Pull the handle up and it clicks into place to prevent it from collapsing back down. Push the handle slightly and it goes back to its stored position. No pressing anything to release, it just kinda works. Snaps on easily, pops off if you don't want it use it. Took me 12 revisions to get it right but it seems to work well. Highly recommend ASA for both the outdoor use and the repeated bending. Mine is using Bambu ABS and after repeated use its still working. Not so much for the PLA version I printed.

Replacement Sun Visor Clip
The sun visor clip in my 08 TSX broke a couple months ago when I tried to pull out the visor. Kept meaning to get around to making a replacement and finally did today. I pulled the passenger side off and figured out how it mounts in place, it basically just slots in and rotates to lock itself in, so the geometry was super simple.
Modeled it out in Fusion and did a PLA test print, surprisingly it fit perfect the first try. Made a couple changes for more strength and reprinted it in ASA, so it should last quite a while. Pretty happy with this one, especially since it ended up being a quick model and everything fit first try.

Perlator Keys (M18..M28)
I always find it cumbersome to use a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench to screw the aerator out of a tap or bach into it, in order to descale it. Which is a frequent thing if you have hard tap water.
This is the solution.

Sometimes you need a little special project
i was working in my garage and couldnt see what was going on across the room. my wife says i need glasses ... i say i need indicator lights.
So i figured out how to get the 3D Print MQTT information, pipe it into my ESP32s and generate an active display per machine complete with a multicolor indicator light.
Cool things can be done with idle hands.

Printed enclosure, and I made my own CAD app to do it!

I got too annoyed with using FreeCad because it was too slow to make stuff with and had a lot of stuff I didn't need, and I didn't want to use blender because it's not made for 3d printing so I made my own tool for making things to 3D print! I'm genuinely proud of how it came out, and it makes a lot of sense to me how to use it but that's probably because I built it

Joycon Stylus Holder
Made a little slide-on stylus holder for a Joy-Con so I can use touchscreen controls and physical buttons with one hand.
I posted about it last night, but here's a GIF of it in action! Got it working Windows-wide today, so I can finally show off something other than RuneScape :)

Designed and printed an enclosure for my tiny ESP32 sports scoreboard
I’ve been building this little ESP32 sports scoreboard for a while, and once I got the electronics/software working I realized I had another problem: it needed to actually look and feel like one device instead of a dev board sitting on my desk.
So I started designing an enclosure around the ESP32-S3/display board and an internal LiPo battery.
The screen needed to sit cleanly in the front, I still needed access to USB-C for charging and the physical buttons, and I wanted the whole thing to stay small enough that you can just pick it up in one hand.
There were a lot more tiny fit/tolerance changes than I expected, but I’m pretty happy with where it ended up. The translucent white print also lets some of the LEDs from the board bleed through the sides, which I originally didn’t plan on but ended up really liking.
Still tweaking the design, but it finally feels like one little finished object instead of a pile of electronics.
I also put the current .3mf in the project repo in case anyone using the same board wants to mess with it.
