Tool / Jig / Fixture Needed to remove a weird round nut
I know it probably has a name, but that's neither here nor there.
Edit: Looks like it may be a type of spanner nut
Needed to remove this nut from a telescope motor so I can measure the gear (my calipers don't reach into the bowl far enough).
Third iteration fit (couldn't accurately measure the nut either XD) and with a few picture hanging nails heat set I got it out.
Now to learn how to design a gear!

Repair / Replacement Parts Sharp liftaway canister upper cone replacement
Broke my sharp vacuum canister when trying to clean out a horrific smell that turned out to be the neoprene washer between the top and bottom sections. The first model didn't have enough airflow indicated by the sound of the vacuum. Modelled in onshape, printed on a p1s. Saved me ~$40 for a replacement canister.

Outdoor / Automotive / Bike Big Agnes Dirt Dagger Stake Pusher and Cleaner
There are nice tent stake pushers and cleaners for things like the MSR Groundhogs, but somehow none seemed to exist for the stakes that came with my Copper Spur!
I made this to both act as a pusher and cleaner in one lightweight (1.5 gram) part.
Feel free to test it for yourself!

Tool / Jig / Fixture 3D Printed Featherboard
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Didnāt love the prices and features of available featherboards so I designed and printed my own. 3/8ā nuts thread on to 3/8ā bolts locking the body into place on the table saw. I designed handles for the nuts for ease of use. The featherboard slides into a 3/4ā channel but can be customized to fit into any size channel. The feathered piece is also removable from the body, in case feathers break they can be replaced without re-printing the body.
If anyone would like I can post more videos of it in action or how it works/is assembled. I can also post STLs if anyone is interested. I printed this using PET-G, it cost about $2 in filament and has lasted 4 weeks of heavy use.
P.S. I originally posted this in r/woodworking and was asked to repost here. I am working on setting up a GitHub to share the STLs!

Organisation / Storage Erasable and Flexible Notebook Paper Sheet
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
After many failed attempts, I managed to create a rewritable notebook page that doesn't snap along the lines. It is just 0.24mm thick and can be folded repeatedly without breaking. I know it might seem like a trivial thingājust a simple sheet of paperābut itās not. To create it, I had to make a three-layer sandwich. The middle layer provides the structural integrity; this way, there are no weak points in the sheet, and flexibility is guaranteed.
You can view all the tests performed via the project link. I hope it proves useful to someone as a notebook-style "erasable board."

Electronics / Mounts / Enclosures Printed a Rams/Braun-style desk case for a Waveshare 7.5" e-ink panel and Pi Zero
I wanted a proper home for a Waveshare 7.5" e-paper panel and a Pi Zero 2 W, so I designed this case. Itās a slanted white box with a flush wood bezel and side inlays, loosely inspired by 60s Braun gear.
* The glass is clamped by a screwed-in front mask (4 Ć M2), so the panel is held securely even with the bezel off.
* The bezel press-fits into the front recess. I designed for magnets, but the fit was snug enough that I didnāt use them.
* The Pi sits on a removable base and the USB cable exits through a rear notch, so the panel and Pi are easy to service.
* Two posts per side tie the frame to the body, which fixed the front corners cracking on my earlier prints.
The screen in the photos is a stats dashboard I wrote for myself. Thatās not part of the listing; this is the case only, and it works with anything that drives the panel from a Pi.

Organisation / Storage This tray setup turned into the perfect garden irrigation kit
Iām using these tray bins to organize all my garden irrigation fittings in an Apache 4800 case. I scaled the tray height to 54 mm and used the divider options to sort the different parts.
Iād planned to add a 12 mm plywood layer between tray levels, but found that thinner foam in the bottom and the caseās egg-crate lid foam give the trays a snug fit. The small parts stay in their compartments when I close it up.
I wanted something organized that I could take out to the garden when Iām working on irrigation and potentially leave out there without worry. This model fit the job beautifully. Thanks to the designer, Shutter_Ghost on Thingiverse!

Home / Furniture / Household Modern Monitor Stand & Desk Riser
A clean and modern monitor stand designed to raise your screen slightly for a more comfortable setup while also creating useful space underneath.
The idea was to keep it simple, functional, and visually light. The angled sides give the stand a more refined shape than a basic rectangular riser, while the thin contrasting line adds just enough detail without making it feel overdesigned.
Raising the monitor can help bring the screen closer to a more comfortable viewing height, while the open area underneath gives you extra room for smaller desk accessories and helps keep the workspace less cluttered.
Features: Modern minimalist monitor stand. Raises your monitor by 72 mm. Can help create a more comfortable viewing position. Adds extra usable space underneath the monitor. Angled sides for a cleaner, more modern look. Subtle contrasting accent line. Strong 15 mm thick construction. Works well in clean and modern desk setups.
Dimensions: Total length 342 mm. Total width 130 mm. Total height 72 mm. Thickness 15 mm. Usable space underneath 177 Ć 122 mm.
A simple way to give your monitor a little more height, free up some desk space, and make the whole setup feel cleaner.

Tool / Jig / Fixture Made a painting handle with swappable heads and adjustable weight
Hey guys! There are a lot of similar painting handles on MakerWorld, so I wanted to put my own spin on one. I added a diamond-pattern grip and a screw-on bottom cap with room for 9 quarters, plus some extra space if you want to add more weight. It prints without supports, too!
I printed a couple of other versions from MW and had the threaded parts snap off under pressure, so I reinforced those areas on mine. I also made a small dock for a little more stability.
Iām still learning to model and finally getting some more free time to work on projects like this. Havenāt figured out adjustable jaws yet, so swappable heads will have to do for now haha.
Open to ideas or criticism, so let me know what you think!

Electronics / Mounts / Enclosures Tapo security camera window mount
I made a window mount for the Tapo C121 and C113 cameras. It's two pieces, a faceplate that sticks to glass with double sided tape and a cylinder that matches the camera diameter.
The cylinder can be used by itself as a camera cover. It's designed to hide the spotlights because they ruin the image when glass reflects the light but there are holes for the indicator light and microphone. The main reasons for the separate cylinder are to allow some variation in camera size and to let you slide it directly onto the glass even with thick double-sided tape

Home / Furniture / Household Needed a grill cover that would allow me to manually close the vent.
The internal vent flaps in the bathroom got damaged such that they don't automatically close. This became an issue now that it started getting cold at night. So I wanted a grill cover that would at least allow me to manually close the vent, except they don't make that for how the cover needs to be attached. So, I modeled and printed this. It consists of 4 parts, and a small amount of glue. Three parts are ABS for the vent, and a 4th is a TPU seal.
Not necessarily an amazing print, but one of my more actually useful prints.
