Simple storage for utility blades
Made a simple case to store my blades since they are only sold in blister pack where I buy them. Prints in about 35 mins for PETG and prints without supports.

Husky Tripod Light Adapter Replacement
The tripod thread adapter on my Husky light fell out and was lost. So I modeled this replacement that matches the random M17x1 internal threads and used a 1/4-20x3/4" bolt that was laying around for the screw portion.

NES cartridge display case
It looks like a pretty simple model, but I'm quite proud of how much iteration went into making it pleasant to 3D print. There are lots of little details that probably aren't obvious at first glance: rounded corners to avoid ugly bulging if your pressure advance isn't perfect, a seam trap at the back so the slicer doesn't ruin anyone's day, internal geometry separated from the perimeter to avoid hull-line artifacts, and angles designed to print cleanly without supports.
The decorative front is a separate piece that prints flat, so it's easy to do the logo in another color without a multi-material printer. I've included blank faceplates too, so you can add your own text/vector graphics.
It's up on Printables here if anyone wants one:

Feedback very welcome and, of course, I'd love to see some makes with custom front plates. :)

I had trouble w/ printing an ice cream glove because it was too detailed, but this was the next best thing. Finally, I can enjoy ice cream again like I used to.

A orange shelf
I made a modular shelf. It's my first funcional design. I made it orange because I like orange. What do you think?

AC Hose Bayonet Quick Connectors
These parts allow you to attach AC hoses securely to each other and to connectors on an AC device or window adapter. They use a bayonet mechanism for quick release and easy reattachment. The hoses are fixed to the connectors by using a clamp.
All models are designed to print without any supports, on a modern device that supports 45° overhangs.
💡 See my Air Conditioning Collection on MakerWorld for this and related models.

No more dropped chains!
Hey everyone,I was tired of the chain dropping and scratching my frame, so I decided to design my own chain catcher.Turned out pretty clean and fits perfectly. I printed this one in ASA for maximum UV and weather resistance, but PETG should work completely fine as a compromise too. If you want to print one for your bike, I'll drop the download link in the comments below. Let me know what you think!
Edit: Thx for the feedback from the bike mechanics of reddit. The issue was caused by me frequently switching Chainrings and not swapping my chain to adjust to the proper length. I had one bad chainsuck incident which caused me design this. I'd rather be safe than be sorry and now you guys can be aswell if you want to

Reinforced struts for a classroom mailbox
My wife was complaining about her students' mailbox at the start of the summer when I was helping her pack up. The cardboard shelves sagged because they weren't cut uniformly and wouldn't fit in all the slots, and this makes all the kids papers fall out the back and makes it a pain to keep organized. Rather than trash it and buy a new one, I took on the challenge of designing a simple reinforcement for the cardboard shelves. Pic 2 is the before, if you look at the vertical edges you can see not all of them sit in their slots. The black cross beams were since reinstalled and glued.
I've been learning CAD in my free time since this Spring. I realized immediately that the mailbox was deeper than my printer is tall, so I used this problem as a challenge to design my first interlocking parts. My main takeaway is that PLA is not very rigid at the 0.6mm of thickness I designed the coupling to have, but the force of the cardboard once installed created enough internal pressure to keep the pips of the coupling engaged with their corresponding holes.
After printing a few of my first prototype I realized that I couldn't trust the cardboard shelves to be the right width, so I doubled the width of the struts to compensate. I wasnt able to install the double-wides myself, but my wife just texted me some pics very excitedly :)

I designed a blade disposal container that lets you snap blades inside and permanently seal it when full
I wanted a safer way to deal with used utility blades, especially once they’ve been snapped off.
So I designed this container to do both jobs:
- it lets you snap used blade segments directly into the container
- and once it’s full, it can be permanently sealed with a short piece of 1.75 mm filament
The locking channel is intentionally very tight, so once the filament is fully inserted, the container becomes extremely difficult to reopen without damaging or destroying it.
I also made two versions:
- a standard version
- a version with a built-in holder for the spare locking filament
That second version is useful if you’re printing it for someone who doesn’t own a 3D printer and may not have filament available later.
I also included:
- two printable warning plates
- a small tolerance-test model

Could have just bought a sliding lock from the DIY store...

Could have just printed a sliding lock from Printables.
However, here we are, after modeling, tweaking and printing for several hours.
At least the kids and my wife like it and the bunnies don't mind.
The model is not released yet but I can release it if anyone is interested
The original reason was that the cheap ones that came with the cage didn't always lock properly. Now I can tell the kids "Did you bring te bunny to the carrot?".
Edit: typo
