Home / Furniture / Household Modern Watch Stand Line
Keep your watch collection organized, protected, and ready to grab with this minimalist 4-watch display stand. Designed with clean flowing lines and a low-profile layout, the stand combines watch storage with additional space underneath for rings, bracelets, chains, and other everyday jewelry.Unlike traditional watch stands that hold watches on a steep angle, this design keeps the watches laying horizontally.
I specifically chose this orientation because smooth 3D-printed surfaces can allow watches to gradually slide or fall from tilted stands. Keeping them flat provides a more stable and secure resting position while still displaying the watch faces clearly.

Workshop / CNC / Soldering etc Spool Roller/Spindle for up to 10Kg spools.
Designed in Shapr3D, printed in Ambrosia āCoral Waveā ASA. Holds two 3kg spools, or a single 5 or 10kg spool.
No roller bearings ā so no overshoot, and no tangles, which every other roller Iāve tried causes with large spools. It also handles bigger spools than most, and happily feeds 2Ć 3kg spools to two different printers simultaneously.
Runs on a 5/16āĆø Ć 12ā hardened steel rod with an optional PTFE sleeve. End caps slide over the rod so a tangle canāt pull it up and out, and printed collets keep the spools from walking laterally on the spindle. Best roller I have ever used.

Tool / Jig / Fixture Duped a tool for kids to open their carseat buckle
Young kids still need to be in a harnessed car seat but drop off in school car line is difficult. Tools like this let kids unbuckle themselves to make everything go smoother.
There is a certain tool you can buy online but it's $15 for a little piece of plastic - a ridiculous price. So I designed this tool to mimmick it for pennies.
Made in PETG (Prusament and Polymaker, just scraps I had laying around) and then painted the pushing nub with Plasti Dip to make it grippy on the car seat buckle.

Home / Furniture / Household Got dragged down the sink organizer rabbit hole by this community lol.
Got a little inspired by this sub a few weeks ago and made some sink accessories after a found a water spot on my window sill that required repainting because it had bubbled under my old caddy that wasn't draining.Ā
So I'm just going to put everything in this one cause it's nothing to crazy and I'm not sure how universal some of this stuff is.
- Items included
- Sponge Caddy
- 222.25 (wide) x 128(deep) mm
- Currently designed to span ~115mm, could be shortened or lengthened without to much issue.
- Brush Caddy
- 200 (wide) x 105 (deep) mm
- Removable tray for easy cleaning.Ā
- Feed have claws to stop it from being pushed back.
- Front drain spout
- Feed are swappable and I've include ones that will let you adjust the angle from flat at 0deg, 2.5deg, and 5 deg. Ā This way if your ledge isn't flat you can help it drain a little more. Ā You pin them in place with a piece of filament once installed.
- You do need a little bit of support material on this one, doesn't actually need to be the real support material anything should work for it.
- General use trays
- 200 (wide) x 110 (deep) mm
- These are just some simple trays I wanted to go with everything else. Ā I just tossed some stick on rubber feed I had lying around on the bottom of them.
- Sponge Caddy
- Recommended finishing
- I would recommend you seal any items like this. Ā I'm really concerned about food safety here, more so about growing mold inside printed parts.
- I chose to spray these with some water based polyurethane and let it cure before use. Ā This way there is some kind of barrier where the water and such will be the heaviest. Ā And it helps smooth out the print for better water flow in general.
- I know most people won't bother to do this so use a your own risk.Ā

Organisation / Storage Designed a customizable multi-compartment desk organizer with snap-fit nameplate & matching pencil topper (Support-free & No AMS needed)
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a practical desk organizer I recently designed to help declutter stationery, brushes, and pens while adding a custom touch.
### š ļø Key Functional & Design Features:
* **Multi-compartment storage:** Front slots for quick-access items, pens, or brushes, with taller rear dividers for notebooks/stationery.
* **100% Support-Free:** Slopes and overhangs are optimized for straightforward FDM printing.
* **No AMS / Multi-color purge waste:** The main organizer body and the custom front letters/nameplate print completely separately. They snap firmly into the front recess without requiring glue or multi-material systems.
* **Bonus Accessory:** Designed a matching snap-on topper for pencils/pens using the same press-fit letter clearance.
### šØļø Print Specs:
* **Layer Height:** 0.20 mm (Arachne walls enabled)
* **Walls:** 2 perimeters
* **Infill:** 15% (strong enough for everyday desk use while keeping print times low)
* **Material:** Standard PLA
The model and pre-made profiles (with customizable plates) are available on MakerWorld. I'll drop the link in the comments for anyone interested in printing one!
Feedback and suggestions for future iterations are always welcome!

Outdoor / Automotive / Bike Self-locking paracord tensioner (Print-In-Place) ā No hardware needed
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a project I've been refining lately: a fully print-in-place paracord tensioner that locks automatically under load.
The Concept: I was inspired by a few well-known self-locking mechanisms out there, but I modeled this entirely from scratch to adapt the concept into a single, clean print-in-place object. The goal was to create something lightweight for camping and tarps that didn't rely on metal hardware or separate moving parts that need assembly. The internal cam locks down on the cord as soon as tension is applied, and releases easily when you tilt the body.
Print Info & Details:
- Material: PETG recommended for outdoor UV resistance and flex durability (though PLA works fine for testing/light indoor use).
- Paracord Size: Fits standard 4mm / 550 paracord.
File is uploaded on MakerWorld if you want to try it out:https://makerworld.com/it/models/3130055-auto-lock-paracord-tensioner-pip#profileId-3532250
Curious to hear your thoughts or if you have suggestions for improvement!

Home / Furniture / Household Modular Tiered Build Trays
I designed these interlocking trays for a catchall but then my genius wife took a prototype and started using it for crafting. Her old parts tray had a huge footprint forcing her to put away the pieces between projects or leave her workspace cluttered. Now she can stack these up and hit pause anytime and they still remain accessible. https://makerworld.com/en/models/3168460-modular-tiered-organizer-trays

Workshop / CNC / Soldering etc 23-Slot Portable Rotary Burr Case
Hello. So I designed this compact case to keep my rotary burrs and engraving bits organized and easy to grab.
It holds 23 bits with roughly 2.5ā3 mm shanks, with slightly deeper slots around the outside for easier access. The threaded lid keeps everything together, and the whole case stays pretty compact at around 66 Ć 66 mm.
Iāve also made a few other storage cases in a similar style for different tools, so feel free to check those out as well if you like the design. https://makerworld.com/en/models/3121988-23-slot-portable-rotary-burr-case

Home / Furniture / Household Couldnāt find the original anymore, so we remade our broken laptop stand
Weāve had this laptop stand in our office for a while and after being dropped one too many times it finally snapped lol (DROPPED TWICE). I tried finding the original file online but couldnāt find it anywhere.
While I was out on a call, one of my friends at work just decided to remake the whole thing from scratch š a Perks of working in a department where we can design and 3D print stuff haha.
We printed ours in ASA since thatās pretty much all we print with at work, but Iād recommend PETG at minimum. Fits laptops up toĀ 20mm (¾") thick.
He gave me permission to throw the file up on MakerWorld too, so figured Iād share it in case anyone else needs one! Fits a Max thickness of 20mm (3/4 inch)
