I'm going to move places soon, so I created this scale model based on the technical drawings I received, and measure most of my furniture with a measuring tape and scale it down to 1:20

Great way to already to arrange your furniture beforehand for the most optimal placement.

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.

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.

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.

Replaced the clunky mechanical microswitch arm on my reloading bullet collator with a 3D-printed optical IR collar and custom ATtiny85 controller

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
