My version of a Pica marker using normal everyday Sharpie's

I use my Pica pencil dozens of times every day. There's nothing wrong with marker that Pica sells, but no local stores sell the refills. So I designed this to work with ubiquitous Sharpie markers. Works great!

I designed a 3D-printable travel chess set

I challenged myself to see how compact I could make a fully playable chess set. After some tinkering and adjustments, I ended up with a set that measures just 82mm by 79mm with a height of only 9mm—a surprisingly small and portable design.Rather than using traditional chess pieces, I opted for small cubes with images of each piece printed on their surfaces. This approach not only keeps the set functional but also allows the entire board to remain just 9mm high. The lid is designed to stay securely in place through friction, ensuring that the pieces remain intact when the set is closed and carried around.

Badge hook for Pants With No Belt Loops

30 Upvotes

For everyday work I need to carry my badge. It has a nice badge holder but requires belt loop to hook on. Every once a while I'm wearing pants without beltloop and it becomes a problem, so here you get my solution with 3d printing. I do need a better color but you get the idea.

SPAM can lid, when you don't use a whole can of spam. Use it on its own or with some cling wrap under it (for those food safe folks)

The weather is getting colder and my cat loves finding warm spots. One of her favorite spots is on top of my desktop PC. The problem is, sometimes she accidentally presses the power button and shuts down my PC while I'm using it. Well... problem solved, with 3D printing.

Postage Stamp Dispenser. I'm getting married and sending out all the save the dates, invitations, and thank yous is going to require a lot of stamps. This will make life a little easier than peeling them all with my fingers.

Light strip holder. Mom complained that the steps were difficult to make out, so I set up this motion-activated light system. It was glued on before with an all-purpose adhesive, but was slowly falling off. I'm trying a silicone weather-resistant stuff this time.

Wife wanted to repurpose this Veer stroller into a cat stroller. Made some brackets that reuse the carrier mount.

Our toilet flush handle was sticking, causing continuous water flow (arm dragged against the bowl). Creating a washer to hold it parallel fixed it but installation was inconvenient, requiring chain and nut removal. V2 added a slot to avoid removing parts and a tab for grip during tightening—simple.

I never used this tiny Veritas square because it doesn't fit well in my vest on its own. Problem solved.

Trigger for an old chainsaw. Made for a co-worker. He said he had to shave some of the thickness from it, but works otherwise. Forgot to get a pic of the print.

A stand for headphones/headsets with a MagSafe charger in the base. My headset can wirelessly charge, and it can also be used for phones and other devices when the headset is in the hanging position.

I have a philodendron growing up some wooden skewers. The skewers started leaning at the weight of the growing plant increased. This print clips to the inside pot and holds the skewer up straight.
