I love making practical things with my 3D printer, and expanding my self taught skills with FUSION360. If any of my mounts don't work for you, please send me a comment or message and I'm happy to modify or even consider making new mounts. I'd love to make more custom mounts for lego sets especially, so please hit me up if there's a specific set you need to mount, I might be up for doing it for you. I can even look up the instructions and test the mount with a real lego mockup built from my own collection if it is a set I do not own. Anyway, dont hesitate to ask, though I cannot guarantee Ill be able to do it.

Try out this blue tape dispenser!

I used to work in restaurants, and so I always use blue painter's tape in my kitchen to label things and as a great general use tape. This dispenser makes it even easier. You never have to find the end of the roll and you can easily tear off a piece of any length with one hand. You must mount the dispenser to the fridge or wall with command strips or double sided tape. Let me know if you want a version with screwholes but I figure most people will put it on the side of their fridge. 

I will be updating this model as I prototype better and better "teeth" for the blade but it works well already, I just know it could be better. Let me know if you have any tips on printing really sharp corners. 

There are two dispenser sizes, 1.5 inch (38mm), and 1 inch (26mm), for different width tape.

Pictures show several versions, as I still use v3.0 in my kitchen (I dont like wasting stuff) but the files are all the most recent v4 model. The old versions were made in Sketchup before I learned Fusion360!

The models require supports to print.

**This Model is Functional but Unoptimized**




This is a fun mechanical project I've been working on just to practice Fusion360. It is a mount (for very light weight objects) that allows you to rotate the object around the center point of the rig. This assists in taking photos of multiple angles of very small objects.


Check out this video that was my inspiration for more details and a demonstration:

His version is much more robust.
 But he wasnt sharing or selling the files, so I figured I'd take a crack at it, and I managed to get a functioning prototype going within a few hours and two printing iterations. I plan on beefing it up, especially if there is interest from people who need it for actual usage.
This type of mechanism has many uses and drive modes, but this model is undriven and you just move it manually.

The Model is designed to use (6) m4x10 screws and nuts, but I also made some snap in fasteners you can just print to get going. These will wear out over time and become looser, but will suffice for most peoples usage. Print 3 of both sizes, and use the longer three on the tri-platform and the shorter three on the rotators.

The Threaded Platform is something I added so that you can dial the height of an object to anywhere you want to focus on. There is a space on the inside of it for an optional 6x2mm Magnet so that you can make things snap to it magnetically and stay in position.

The Model does need (3) Standard 608 Skateboard bearings, the type that are used in fidget spinners and many 3d Printing products. I can post a version that doesnt require these but it is much stiffer in its movement (something that some may find desirable)

Most of the parts do not require supports, But you must use supports on the following parts:
LinkageSPMx3 (Print 3 of these). 

I printed mine close together, almost overlapping, so that their support structure would be one single piece, and it worked really well.

I used supports on the following parts, but now I think you could get away without them, YMMV:
TriplatformSPM 
Rotator1SPM	
Rotator2SPM
Rotator3SPM

Do not use supports on the threaded platform it is really annoying to clean out the threads.

Please comment if you have any critique on how I can make it better for V3. I plan on changing the curvature of the Linkage arms a good bit so they swivel past each other better.
