We have a 100+ year old building that originally had school house type lights in it. We have an issue with shaking in the house causing the fixtures to loosen up, and the glass globes to fall and break. These lights are in a room that small children are frequently in, soI thought if i were to make a plastic globe, not only could i tighten them up more, but if they happened to fall they may not break, and wouldn't leave glass shards around. 

There are two models. SchoolhouseLight is a model that is solid, and I am working on printing in spiral vase mode. I have had to significantly alter the shape to allow for this type of printing. I also have SchoolhouseLight2 which more closely matches the actual fixture. Printing SchoolhouseLight in vase mode on my Bambu A1 takes ~2.5 hours, and SchoolhouseLight2 is estimated to take 24 hours, so I would much rather get the first one to work. I plan on printing this out of transparent PETG, and I plan to only use LED lights.

In 2018 I purchased a luminiser lamp. This lamp was designed to use a standard tea light along with a thermoelectric generator to run additional LED lights. It is a very interesting and useful light device that is great for camping, power outages, and just general low light uses, especially since it has no moving parts. When I originally purchased the lamp in 2018 it was designed to work with tea lights, however the manufacturer wanted you to purchase their branded candles, but generic ones worked just fine. I decided to purchase another unit from Amazon, however then it arrived i discovered that they no longer include the tea light holder, but require you to purchase their proprietary (single use) lamp oil lights. The whole reason i purchased the light in the first place was the fact that they used standard tea lights. Fortunately they didnt modify the design of the lamp itself, as my original tea light holder fits just fine.

This model is for a simplified tea light holder. While it doesnt include all of the fancy curves and such, it is easy'ish to print and works. So if you already have one of these lights, or you are interested in getting one, but dont want to use their proprietary "candles", then this will work for you.

I needed a 9 volt battery eliminator. It was used in a device that needed a side cable exit so i designed this. The terminals come from an old 9 volt battery and just solder on. There is a cavity inside that can hold a DC voltage regulator (like a CUI P7809-2000-S). I used a switch mode regulator, but if you use a linear regulator (i.e. a 7809) make sure your enclosure can handle the heat.

This is the plastic door handle for Square D circuit breaker panels. You will still need the bent metal latch, but this is the handle.
