This is a simple design for a bathroom radiator hook. The pipes in my radiator are 23mm in diameter, check if this is true for you or resize the model to fit your needs.

This print doesn't require supports.

Also be aware of the softening point of you print material if you are using the towel warmer. In my case I don't need to worry about that since the radiator is not being used. In any case I don't recommend the usage of the hook in a warm radiator. Do it at your own risk.

I used PETG for a stronger print.

I hope you enjoy this model and let me know if you had issues or if it works for you. I would appreciate to see your makes also, that really makes my day.

Strong Hook for Towel Radiator

The holder uses friction to keep the games in place and the same concept is used to keep the holder inside the cover. I have fine tuned the models for my printer tolerances, but it might require some XY Size Compensation in the slicer for you to fine tune this for you.

Also included is a base that can hold 4 holders, that can be near the Nintendo Switch, so you can easily "switch" the game in the console.

I hope you enjoy this model and let me know if you had issues or if it works. I would appreciate to see your makes also, that really makes my day (happy face).

Before jumping to 2022 I wanted to do a bigger project, a portable chess board that folds into a box for transport carrying all the pieces inside.

This one took 2 weeks to design, some iterations on the lock mechanism that delayed the release. I originally wanted to make a print in place lock system that, in my tests I was not satisfied, they were fragile breaking all the time and very susceptive to printer tolerances. I still haven't given up on that goal, but for now I'm happy with a simpler solution, but still it work very well.

So, what is included in this "kit"?
 - 1 Chess board, two halves, left side and right side;
 - 1 square model, you will need to print 32 times in white and other 32 time in black (or maybe in other not so classic colors);
 - A frame to the board, print it two times;
 - And all the pieces of the board: pawn, rook, knight, bishop, queen, king. All of this were designed by me, but still a bit work in progress, will improve in the future, or maybe wait for your creations (wink face) ;
 - A lock, that should be printed in TPU.

Special instruction for the hinges: I used a paper clip and glued in place. This makes the hinges strong and smaller than a 100% printed solution. You can also use a filament instead of a clip, since the hole size should allow a 1.75mm filament (I haven't tested this, no idea if its strong enough).

Print Settings:

Left and right side of the board: Use supports.

All other: don't need supports;

Resolution: 0.2

Infill: 15%

All models can be printed in PLA with the exception of the lock that should be TPU.

I hope you enjoy this and let me know if you had issues or if it works. I would appreciate to see your makes also, that really makes my day (happy face). 

I wish you all a happy 2022.

Another Christmas, another game for the Kid :)

So I got a request to design a simple storage for 4 card games that could be easily used on the go.

The holder uses friction to keep the games in place and the same concept is used to keep the holder inside the cover. I have fine tuned the models for my printer tolerances, but it might require some XY Size Compensation in the slicer for you to fine tune this for you.

Also included is a base that can hold 4 holders, that can be near the Nintendo Switch, so you can easily "switch" the game in the console.

I hope you enjoy this model and let me know if you had issues or if it works. I would appreciate to see your makes also, that really makes my day (happy face).

I wish you all a happy and healthy 2022.

Its a stand for a Ferrari Watch, with the brand logo and name.

Two versions included. A Single print that require supports and a "assembly" required model.

For this latest one you need to glue the pieces together and can use the other model as a guide.

Hope you guys like this one. Looking forward to see your prints.

PS: Sorry... No Ferrari included... Not even the Watch...

Hi all!

I wanted to do an ornament for my Christmas tree made with my hobby, and when trying to figure out I start thinking in a spiral shape. I made the design, smile to myself, and said: "This will never print...".

But I wanted to see how badly this would print and... I witnessed a impossible print.

Yes it is really ugly, yes it an ornament (ugly), but to my eyes is a beauty, a print that laugh at gravity and is a true torture test to the 3D Printer and its cooling fans, and probably more than that...

To reproduce this magnificent ornament you have to do:
- 3 perimeters;
- 0.2mm;
- 100% Infill;
- Brim;
- No Raft;
- No Supports;

I wish you all an excellent Christmas, wishing that impossible dreams can come true, and also impossible prints :) 

Also a happy new 2022 year, full of health and success.

PS: Notice I couldn't do the ring on top, but maybe you can do better. Looking forward to see your prints.

PS2: Funny fact, Lukes3D had the same idea 5 years ago and made a very similar model. Here is the link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3274485

Its a box for my bits..., Its a Bits Box!

The original "case" that came with the Wowstick is pretty but not functional (in my opinion), so I made this one.

It holds 52 shorter bits and 4 long ones.

A final word for the hinges: I used a paper clip and glued in place. This makes the hinges strong and smaller than a 100% printed solution. You can also use a filament instead of a clip, since the hole size should allow a 1.75mm filament (I haven't tested this, no idea if its strong enough).

Happy printing and enjoy! Waiting for you feedback also :)

Do you like to rate other people actions and activities? Do you have the urge, the need to score the athletes in the Olympics? Do you want to make a small local competition and make the scoring fun?

Look no further! Scorecards are here!

Now in a serious note, this is the first design I share, comments are welcomed :)

For a better result slice a color change for the middle to enhance the number visibility.

PS: Photos have different handles than the stl files. They are the prototypes :) The Handle is now a little wider and small issues corrected.

As usual with 3D printing, when there is a problem we fixit with our trusted 3D Printer. In this case my father broke a glasses case, but fortunately the glasses didn't broke, only the case.

So I decided to design my own case and print it just in time to Christmas.

I decided to make a different design to minimize the potential for scratching the lens of the glasses in the case, so I made a "vertical" design. With this design the contact point is the frame of the glasses and I hope, not the lens. I had limited testing with the glasses I own, so take this with a grain of salt and test it yourself to make sure it works. Also consider this a work in progress where, based on feedback, I can improve the design to accomplish the design goals, in a more universal way.

Also take notice in the dimension of the box and your glasses size. The box currently can hold 14 cm wide glasses and 5cm tall. If you have bigger glasses maybe scaling would be a possibility, but I haven't tested this. Let me know if you want a bigger case, I can redesign it to make it bigger to fit your glasses.

A final word for the hinges: I used a paper clip and glued in place. This makes the hinges strong and smaller than a 100% printed solution. You can also use a filament instead of a clip, since the hole size should allow a 1.75mm filament (I haven't tested this, no idea if its strong enough).

Happy printing and enjoy! Waiting for you feedback also :)

8 Egg tray for fridge.

It was desgined to fit a 40x10cm area, 2 trays side by side.

Now I can have 16 eggs in the fridge, before only 12... (maybe I can fit a little more than 16... ;) )

Enjoy and give feedback.

Just a small update I've made to the excellent design made by MaximumDude and X3RPM.

After printing the game I noticed that it was too easy to open the top cover and to lose the pins in the ground :)

With this small addon it becomes travel safe.

Print in TPU for better grip and fit.

Enjoy

Yet Another Headphones Holder (YAHH)

Instead of downloading a one already made, I decided to make my own design. No, my design isn't more pretty or did I used scientifically approved methodology to accurately dimension the YAHH to guarantee that it only falls in the ground once per year. No, nothing like that. The reason is more simple than that... I wanted the YAHH to accurately fit in my desk :)

If you own a desk with 20mm table top thickness, then this YAHH can also be your choice. I hope you enjoy this and give me feedback so I can improve my designs. 

Also if you like the YAHH and have other table top thickness in you desk, let me know, I'll adjust the design and make you a YAHH that fits you needs.

Thanks again and have fun.

This is a simple Door Stopper. 

It was inspired by a kid safety item that I already had but broke with use, so the initial idea is not mine, but this is my take on it.

The idea is to prevent the door to close, useful if you have a small kid, to prevent accidents, but also usefull to pet owners if you want to have a door always open, like the cats sandbox or the food area.

It a quick print also.

Enjoy and give me feedback.
