My metal tweezers invariably get magnetised from general use.  Normally getting magnetised is not a problem and can be demagnetised with some effort, too.  The magnetism becomes an nuisance when handling small nuts and bolts that I often do.

Instead of constantly fiddling with my demagnetiser, I decided to design my own non-metallic tweezers.  These tweezers are made with PLA-CF and have very good rigidity, hence spring open nicely.

I've shared two tweezers with different tips, large and small, respectively.

My print is made in Bambu Lab PLA-CF 1.75mm Burgundy Red filament, with 0.2mm layer height and 15% infill on a Bambu X1 Carbon printer. No supports required.  Wall Loops = 4.

I hope you can find this print useful, too.

Remember to leave me some feedback or even a tip to keep me enthused to make more of these drawings.

If you are like many X1 Carbon printer owners, you are dissatisfied with the internal lighting of the printer.  I find it hard to see whatever is on the print plate through the tinted glass of the printer case.  I understand that there is an issue with too much lighting interfering with the lidar sensor, but the lidar is only used for a discrete period of time at the print set up stage.  Beyond the print set up stage, there are no printing constraints in using a brighter light.

My solution to the case lighting dilemma is to mount additional lighting strips above the normal print case, embedded in a riser.  The riser sits on top of the printer, elevating the top glass plate and contains the lighting strips.  This new lighting can be manually turned on or off and the lighting brightness is also under manual control.  The manual controls are easily accessible via a switch and knob mount adjacent to the X1C LCD display.

Additional lighting also improves the picture quality of the X1 internal camera, helping the picture to look less grainy.  Note, too much lighting can interfere with the X1 camera picture, too causing the picture to look washed out.  The manual lighting adjustment knob will allow you to find that brightness sweet spot.

Assembly
The riser design consists of multiple parts, including electronic components and 3D printed parts.  To complete this project, the builder must be comfortable in electrical soldering and low voltage electrical wiring.  If you interested in duplicating my work, I strongly suggest that you follow the build guide.

All the electrical parts are commonly available and can be sourced from multiple suppliers through Amazon, eBay and a host of other sources.  The electrical parts are inexpensive and should amount to maybe around USD$10.

My print is made in 1.75mm eSUN PLA+ Silver and Black filaments, with 0.2mm layer height and 15% infill on a Bambu X1 Carbon printer.

This buckle can be used is multiple situations.  My design is simple to print and is of low cost and designed to accept a flat woven strap of up to 20mm width.

The strength of these buckles can be improved by choosing strong plastics.  Note that there needs to be some give in the plastic to allow the buckle to flex, hence carbon fibre based filaments may not do well.

The buckle is a common 20mm size, but you can also experiment and scale the buckle to your needs via your slicer software.

My print is made in eSUN PLA+ filament, with 0.2mm layer height and 15% infill on a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon printer.  Inner supports are needed for the female part.  See 3MF file.

I'm an Electrical Engineer that likes to solve problems that includes 3D printed parts. I like creating my own designs and will share them here.

My designs collection is best described as eclectic, but each design reflects my needs at the time. Feel free to enjoy my designs for your personal needs, too.
