I love to design and make things that we can use. My goal is commercial-quality, functional and innovative designs that provide utility, solve problems, and improve quality of life. but sometimes also just things that are fun!

I am driven by the virtually unlimited potential of 3D printers to bring ideas to life. I am particularly passionate about:

  • Utility and Functionality: Crafting designs that allow you to do things you couldn’t do before, or can now do more easily or effectively.
  • Quality of Life (QoL) Improvements: Designing tools and aids that simplify tasks, organize spaces, and enhance efficiency.
  • Games and Puzzles: Creating fun and challenging puzzles that leverage the complexity achievable with 3D printing.

I try to test every design I upload on multiple printers and using multiple materials to ensure as best as possible your success when printing my designs.

Sequential Discovery Puzzle

Sequential Discovery Puzzle

This is my biggest design project to date and also the funnest ones. If you or someone you know loves very challenging discovery puzzles check this out! Of course I have to keep the details very limited and available only to those who download the puzzle to prevent the solution to the puzzle bei

Eyeglasses and Pots

Eyeglasses and Pots

I have just posted an awesome eyewear stand system. You can use it for a single pair of glasses or as many as you want. They snap together to form a structure that is stable, compact and convenient for the desk, nightstand or TV table. If you have and use eyewear you will be sure to like these.

Advent Balls

Advent Balls

Even though it is a little late for Christmas this year, I could not help but make this modified version of my previously release tree balls (https://than.gs/m/1217763). These are numbers 00 through to 24 and make a fun way to add a twist to your Christmas tree. Available here... https://than.gs

Collapsible Nesting Ornaments

Collapsible Nesting Ornaments

As I am sure you know by now, I am not much for ornamental designs but I could not resist making these ornamental tree balls functional. These balls are beautiful when printed with a glistening filament and yet much more... They fold (collapse) down and nest together for more compact storage at

Lockable Gift Box and Thru the Wall

Lockable Gift Box and Thru the Wall

This week I have posted a super fun lockable gift box. The gift box features a 4-dial combination system, with each dial offering numbers from 0 to 9, allowing for 10,000 unique code combinations. The code is fully customizable, making it both secure and versatile. The idea is you can give someone

Spin-to-Open Gift Box

Spin-to-Open Gift Box

Looking for a fun and unique 3D-printed project? My latest design is here—a puzzle gift box that you unlock by spinning it! The lid is secured with four floating latches that rely on centrifugal force to release. Until all the latches are pushed outward at the same time, the box remains securely lo

Fold-a-Ball

Fold-a-Ball

This week I brought the folding ball to life and I think it is super fun but also functional. Cats, dogs, kids and the kid in all of us will like it. I am working on some variants (a lighter one and a stronger one) but try this one out I think it will always be the best. Please check it out! Als

Cribbage and Eyewear

Cribbage and Eyewear

My latest to the gaming category is a new approach to crib board design intended to be more useable and more durable. If you love Crib, give this a try. Also, I have uploaded a sleek and effective snap-together eyewear case that will help to protect your eyewear. Print the 2 parts and snap them t

Access Doors

Access Doors

This week I have posted some access doors. I know not everyone needs these but when you need one this is the best one available (IMHO). In my case, I wanted to create an access opening to our water shutoff valve which is in the crawlspace and not easily accessible. This through-wall access door

Playing Card Holder

Playing Card Holder

One of my family members recently had shoulder surgery and as a result lost temporary use of an arm. She wanted to play cards to pass time while recovering but needed a card holder. There are plenty of them out there but I couldn't find any that were compact and adjustable. This design is all th

A Giant Spider and Small Knife

A Giant Spider and Small Knife

A 100% 3D printed knife seems unlikely to be successful (at least in plastic) but it actually works. Of course, not as well as a metal knife but for specific applications a plastic blade can get the job done. Plus the design is cool and novel. I am using it for cutting packing tape on packages t

AirTags, Pumpkin and Utility Tags

AirTags, Pumpkin and Utility Tags

This week, I've posted some AirTag holders designed to help you keep track of your AirTag inside a backpack, luggage, tool bag, or similar items. The idea is to clip it to a specific spot so that when you need to find it, you know exactly where it is (or where it should be). I've also shared a larg

3D Printable Signs

3D Printable Signs

It turns out that a 3D printer with AMS or multi-filament capability is excellent at creating high quality graphics and in this case signage. I have just posted the first batch of my utility signs and will be posting more in the future. If you want a specific sign that is not posted please send m

Pop-Open Drain Strainer is Back!

Pop-Open Drain Strainer is Back!

Free again for a limited time as part of the Thangs 4-year anniversary "throwback" celebration is the newer and improved pop-open drain strainer with pick-up knob. Still available in 2 sizes. Pull this drain strainer out of your sink and hold it over the waste bin, squeeze the sides, and it pops o

A Stripper, Belts, Bags and Flags

A Stripper, Belts, Bags and Flags

This past week I have posted a herb stripper for those that grow their own herbs. This is a great little device for harvesting garden herbs for drying before winter comes. And, it will save your fingers from changing colours (those that have done it know what I mean). I also posted a belt hanger

Fold, Lock and Load

Fold, Lock and Load

This week I have posted 3 new designs (so far).... A print-in-place folding door wedge which I think is novel and pretty practical (if you need a door wedge from time to time).   A print-in-place locking USB cable clasp.  This is kind of a companion product to the theft deterrent I posted

Please don't take my charger cable

Please don't take my charger cable

This week I have posted a charger cable theft deterrent because I am tired of those cables going missing. Now when you leave your USB cables unattended you can create a small barrier to someone taking them. This version is a low-security device but could be enough to deter theft. I am also worki

Wine and Fruit

Wine and Fruit

This week I have posted a melon cutter titled "Fruit Punch". And, my Wine Stackers to organize those wine bottles you have lying around waiting to drink. The Fruit Punch turned out so well I thought I better post it. My wife wanted it to make some fruit platters for a special event. They add a

3d Printing in the Shower

3d Printing in the Shower

I have posted a soap tray system I have been working on for some time. While it is probably not for everyone, if you need more space in your shower this could be of interest to you. So far I have soap trays and a razor holder but I can expand the system to other components. And, everything is sn

Keys, Scalpels and Drinks

Keys, Scalpels and Drinks

A very productive week for me, in the last 48 hours I have posted the following: A modular snap-together system for managing keys A remake of the classic magnetic key hider A drink coaster with a sunshade A new XL (extra long) version of my folding scalpel designed specifically for #60 blades, and

Dogs, Golf and Balls

Dogs, Golf and Balls

I have posted 4 designs this week all in an effort to get through my backlog of designs. Since it is summer... a dog ball carrier designed for Bob (he is ball obsessed). And, also three golf accessories including a ball and tee carrier. These designs will only be free for this week so please

Pop-Open and Spinning

Pop-Open and Spinning

I have posted two new designs again this week, the first one is an awesome addition to any kitchen... a pop-open sink drain strainer. Most of us have traditionally used a metal strainer that you have to slam or bang into the waste bin to empty it. This pop-open strainer opens on your command (or

Toilet Paper...   really!?

Toilet Paper... really!?

As you may already know, I released two designs for this week and I only mentioned one of them in my previous post. I really did not expect that the backup TP holder would be so successful. But, hey, I needed it so it makes sense a lot of other people need it too. I am writing this post now to

Spinning Pen Holder Fidget

Spinning Pen Holder Fidget

In the "fun but somewhat useful" this spinning pen holder is a lot of fun (if you like to fidget). Of course, it holds pens but it spins effortlessly and silently making it a great desktop companion. Give it a try! I deleted my initial upload of this as it seemed to not be downloading well. Ple

Double Post

Double Post

This week I have posted 2 designs simultaneously, an updated and significantly improved version of my folding scalpel and also a fun "StashHanger" which provides a secret storage compartment as part of a clothes hanger. I created the StashHanger out of need. I wanted to have a simple and conveni

Additional Scalpel Handle

Additional Scalpel Handle

I just added a No.3 scalpel handle to my "Scalpel Station Widget - with Auto Blade Removal and Capture". It does not work as well as the original #4 handle, but I did get the #3 handle to work with some blades I have.  So if you have blades for the #3 handle please feel free to give this a tr

Scalpel Station Widget - with Auto Blade Removal and Capture

Scalpel Station Widget - with Auto Blade Removal and Capture

I just posted my latest widget... the scalpel holder desktop station with integrated automatic blade removal and blade capture.  It has blade storage and a blade insertion tool.  It is a fun contraption for displaying your 3D printing skills.   It makes the perfect desktop device fo

Clean up the Work Bench

Clean up the Work Bench

I have been working on these tool blocks for a long time and I finally made time to get them posted. Their single purpose is to get those awkward hand tools organized and at the same time keep them handy for use at your workbench or desk. Let me know if you need any other sizes!

Memberships and Free Downloads

Memberships and Free Downloads

Today I launched some memberships to address a few things... 1. Addressing the demand I have had for commercial licensing, 2. Giving me a mechanism to have paid models (which has become critical to the Leagues) and lastly, 3. Hoping to create an alternative method for support from those who can a

Print-in-Place Precision

Print-in-Place Precision

This week I made a print-in-place folding scalpel which I find to be an excellent detail knife that beats out all my other "exacto" style knives. Best for detail work (not heavy duty). But the real excitement of this design is printing in place a very tight tolerance that has virtually no play in

Drink Charms (Markers)

Drink Charms (Markers)

When my wife suggests I design and print something... I always do it. This is one of those tings. Drink markers/charms that can be used on any kind of glass just makes sense. Here it is. I am making this free for 1 week to try to stimulate more downloads and likes to help with the contest compe

Hands Free Wine

Hands Free Wine

I just posted what I think is the world’s first gimballed wine holster.  And, it is 100% printable with no hardware, fasteners or adhesives required.   It is basically a companion to my beer holster (BevvySteady3) but unlike the offset-gimbal of that design, this one is centre-gimballed a

Skeleton Utility Knife

Skeleton Utility Knife

Sometimes it is nice to make a really effective simple design that gets a lot of use.  This utility knife handle and case is one of those things for me.  I have been using it now for some time and it is awesome.  I hope you find it useful too.  If you need it adjusted for a diff

Sorry wrong STL - StashCan 2.0

Sorry wrong STL - StashCan 2.0

About 21 people downloaded my StashCan 2.0 that I posted yesterday before I realized I uploaded the wrong STL file for the Can. The thread at the top is wrong. I have deleted that initial post and reposted the entire assembly with the corrected Can file. The correct can file is titled "StashCan
