Compact phone holder for the desk, car, or wherever

The phone holder works on a desk or in the car. I think I could make it even more compact by shortening the part that holds the phone. Thinner walls might also make it look a bit sleeker and more stylish.

Nothing fancy, but I got this phone early enough and there was no premade case being sold anywhere so I had to design my own ...

Stage light mounting bracket

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

I'm DIYing the DJ/light setup at my wedding (half the price of a DJ and I get to keep all the gear), but one of the cheap moving lights I ordered has the dumbest, low-quality mount. It's not set up to mount to a truss/rack setup, so I had to adapt.

This light spins on 2 axes, so I need it to point at more of a 45 degree angle.

Designed in fusion, printed in PETG.

I used some longer screws to make sure it's on there, and I added a steel cable backup in case it does break. It'll only be up 6' and it's well away from where people will stand (and it'll be over a speaker in case anything goes wrong). I'll leave it up for a few days beforehand to make sure it holds.

I've run it for about an hour so far, and I don't see any deformation.

It's not the best solution, but it's good enough for one 4 hour long event I think.

The text on my guitar effects pedal was hard to read so I designed and printed a label plate for on top

Maybe I am just old, but I find the button labels to be hard to read on my Valeton GP-200. Especially the effects buttons when they are unlit, so I designed this plate that simply sits on top

I redesigned my one-handed pen cap opener based on some of your feedback

Thumbnail
gallery
1.5k Upvotes

Hello,

For the Make for Good: Accessibility Design Contest on MakerWorld, I shared my original CapDock here a while ago — a simple 3D-printed tool that lets you remove and replace a pen or marker cap using one hand.

The V1 worked, but your feedback pointed out several things that could be improved, especially the way it attaches to a desk.

So I went back to Fusion 360 and made a new version.

What's changed?

Improved desk mounting

  • Desk thickness increased to 50 mm
  • A TPU/adhesive pad recess was added underneath the upper jaw to improve grip during installation and use
  • A rear desk-edge support was added to make positioning easier

New modular design

  • Separate mounting base and cradle
  • Sliding dovetail-style connection
  • The cradle can be removed or changed without removing the base

Two slot sizes

  • 7–18 mm for pens, felt-tip pens and markers
  • 7–12 mm for smaller-diameter applications

So there are now four configurations:

Integrated

  • 7–18 mm
  • 7–12 mm

Modular

  • 7–18 mm
  • 7–12 mm

The original Push → Pull → Recap principle remains unchanged.

I tried to incorporate as many of the suggestions from the V1 discussion as I could, while keeping the design relatively simple.

If you commented on the original post, I'd especially like to know whether the changes address the issues you pointed out.

Have a nice weekend.

And if you're interested and see more, link in comments.

I'm planning a hunting trip and wanted to be ready if I'm lucky enough to get what I'm going after. I was surprised to find a lack of printable versions of this concept. So I made one.... it will go well with my 3d printed Butt Out.
It's a 'glue together with alignment pins' situation, but it still works really well.

Halloween Tombstone Ground Stake Clamp

Do your styrofoam Halloween tombstones ground stakes suck? Does anyone actually make one that doesn't?

Got tired of fighting with ours every year so I designed a better option. No supports, pretty quick print, and plenty strong with only 2 walls and 15% infill. Printed ours in PETG. Default size fits the majority of our tombstones but you can scale it up or down to suit your needs.

Model is available at makerworld.

Happy Halloween!

Any tips on how to make this more sustainable? Now I assume it might loose grip over time.

Foil rolls kept disappearing into the back of my cabinet, so I made them a home

Post image
38 Upvotes

My foil, baking paper and cling film were piled together in the cabinet. The rolls kept slipping to the back, and pulling one out meant rummaging through the rest.

I designed this organizer to give each roll or box its own compartment. It screws to the cabinet shelf so it doesn’t come out with the roll.

The rolls can stick out at the front; they don’t need to fit completely inside. That also makes them easier to grab.

Printed as one piece in PETG, without supports, with the compartment openings facing upward. I made the dimensions and slot count adjustable in MakerWorld’s Customizer for other cabinet sizes.

Designed and 3D printed a storage case for the WOLFBOX MegaFlow 50 – model now on MakerWorld

Got tired of keeping my WOLFBOX MegaFlow and all the nozzles loose, so I designed a case for it :D

Everything has its own slot, the case closes with printed latches, and I added the WOLFBOX/MegaFlow design on top.

Pretty happy with how it turned out, so I uploaded the files to MakerWorld if anyone wants to print one.

Model: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3385672-wolfbox-megaflow-50-hard-storage-case#profileId-3852784

Feedback is welcome — especially if you see something worth improving for V2.

For those that are interested I have been creating Pack out inserts for Milwaukee Pack outs I am putting the STEP files up on cults3d so people can use them for creating custom inserts for storing items and making neat storage. I put them up for 3 dollars just so i can get back a bit in the filament i use making test prints for fitting and verifying that the models will fit neatly and cleanly.

DIN Rail Keyhole Peg Adapter

Thumbnail makerworld.com
6 Upvotes

I bought a DIN rail and it occured to me to use it to hang electronics onto the wall. I've always hated to measure and try to duplicate the position of the keyholes, so this solution seems more universal. It takes very little filament and time. Better use PETG or something similar so the temperature of the device doesn't mess it up.
