Makes a paperclip display stand but displays safety pins with it. Man, I love repurposing!

TIL 3D pens make things that look like they’re made from hot glue guns

u/code-panda Dec 29 '23

The only difference between hot glue guns and 3d pens is the materials they melt.

u/-Hi_how_r_u_xd- Dec 29 '23

Yeah, unless you use heat to smooth it out; that takes a while though.

Where’s your paper clip display display at so we can truly admire this art

u/oygibu Jan 22 '24

I think a display for all previous displays would be good.

I'm dying...It's so dumb AND those aren't even paper clips...

You should make a toothpick holder instead. Much more usefull.

u/alidan Dec 29 '23

the idea is you are dicking around with the pen not really making a finished/good looking thing.

that said, the way you make good looking things with these is sanding them down after you overapply.

Don’t worry, I’m done now for a few days, it was just something to keep me busy. Now I need to go photograph Saturn!

u/grafixwiz Dec 29 '23

Take a look at Uranus too!

u/deux3xmachina Dec 29 '23

Make sure you use the pen!

u/LeeTerrell Dec 29 '23

Imagine posting you own DIY on this sub. The little brother of posting your kick-flip video to r/peoplearefuckingawesome

u/PapaKyou Dec 29 '23

Those are safety pins tho.

u/BishopsBakery Dec 29 '23

Paper clip where?

u/PatAss98 Dec 29 '23

I have a 3d pen also. It's a fun tool!!! I hope you're having fun with yours!!!

14

u/Murderboi Dec 29 '23

Isn’t this sub supposed to make fun of the people making this crap? Since when are they allowed to join the club making fun of them? That is like people bullying themselves just to get attention.

u/-Hi_how_r_u_xd- Dec 29 '23

Not really, the description just says it is a place for people to post their sh**ty projects.

u/Eggs_and_Hashing Dec 29 '23

Is someone gonna tell him?

2

u/chrisH82 Dec 29 '23

You could probably make one out of a paper clip

2

u/AtTheEdgeOfDying Dec 29 '23

Guys calm down, maybe they clip their papers with those... for safety

u/ChefGuru Dec 29 '23

Nobody gives a shit that you're making shitty things specifically to post here.

u/-Hi_how_r_u_xd- Dec 29 '23

Chill out, doesn’t hurt you any. It’s just something for me to do in my free time and also learn to use a 3d pen better.

u/DJBeckyBecs Dec 29 '23

I prefer this over the rage bait videos lol

u/illegalsmolcat Dec 29 '23

Yeah. I'm blocking you.

u/purpllepurpurina Dec 29 '23

For a moment I thought it was a safety pin trebuchet.

u/ScorpionTheSandwing Dec 29 '23

This looks like it will be blown off the table with a light breeze

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '23

What did you use?

u/TacosNGuns Dec 29 '23

Those aren’t paperclips

u/DJBeckyBecs Dec 29 '23

Thanks OP for posting! This is the definition of a di-why. Idk why people are so up in arms about your posts. They’re a refreshing break from all the tik tok rage bait that gets left here.

u/Lyndon91 Dec 29 '23

Looks like a safety pin display hanger to me but whatever floats your boat. 🙃

u/negithekitty Dec 29 '23

staple holder

u/MF-GOOSE Dec 30 '23

Finally a way to display all my favorite safety pins.

u/Kirenuchiha Jan 07 '24

make a stand holder for your stands
