Here's one from the blog archive. Making vice jaws from pop/soda bottle filament!

If you dig my random blog make me prioritise it more buy hitting that 'kofi' button on there and buying me a coffee!

A small bench mount vice with a close up on the jaws. The small rectangular jaws are 3d printed in PET filament salvaged from a pop/soda bottle via my pullstruder.

Very useful article on #3dprinting about how to design and orient your #3dprinted parts:

SKÅDIS Drill index shelf. Same 3-piece construction as yesterday's Gridfinity base.

Now I've got a template, and I can probably make these 3-piece units pretty quickly.

A DeWalt drill index (metal box of bits) sits in the cavity in the shelf.  The whole thing is behind the handle of a DeWalt cordless drill, which is hanging on a bracket just above.

This earlier test piece shows the mechanism. It's good and solid.

A three-piece assembly.  The largest piece has a rectangular slot open on both ends.  The medium size piece slides in from the front.  It has two springy arms that lock into detents in the slot wall.  The small, U-shaped piece slides in from the back and forces the springy pieces into the divot.

This is just a test piece. It's a 1x1 Gridfinity base for the tool wall, but mostly I wanted to see if I could make this 3 piece construction method work. By printing the tray flat, I reduce the number of color changes and make shapes possible that have too much overhang as a one-piece.

This was a pain to model. Someday I should design something that has right angles.

The 3D printed Gridfinity holder has slots to hang from an IKEA SKÅDIS pegboard.  It is blue with a gold highlight around the bin edges.  It is made of multiple pieces slid together.  A 1x1 Gridfinity bin is sitting next to it.Back side of the unit.  The tray has been slid into place, and the clip is ready to be pushed in.Thre three pieces of the holder.  The biggest part is a single color (blue).  It has a base plate that goes against the pegboard and a support that holds up a tray.  The tray slot goes all the way through.  The tray is two colors (blue and gold).  It has springy tabs that engage divots in the big part.  The third part is a U-shaped clip.Back side of the unit, fully assembled.  The back edges of the tray, clip, and base plate are flush.

Another day, another functional print.

Spousey got a Thermapen® and wanted a place to store it safely.

A narrow kitchen drawer is open.  It is full of silicone spatulas.  Across the front, there is a fitted black plastic insert with a Thermapen stored on edge.The kitchen drawer is open.  The Thermapen is in its black plastic insert.  There is a finger hole in the middle secton of the insert to lift the pen out.The 3D printed Thermapen insert is sitting alone on a shelf.  It is a black brick with a finger hole and a screw hole visible.The Thermapen insert is sitting alone on a shelf.  From this angle, two circular indents, 14mm diameter and 3mm deep, are shown.  They clear the screws that hold the shelf front on.

We got a new knife block. It doesn't fit under the kitchen cupboards. 3D printer to the rescue!

🧵 13/N #FunctionalPrint #3DPrinted #KitchenGadgets

A knife block holds four knives at an angle.  A line shows that the topmost knife would hit the cupboard above if extracted.A 3D printed hollow wedge shape is beside the knife block.The printed wedge is under the knife block, angling it foward so the knives clear the cupboard.  The top knife is pulled most of the way out to demonstrate.

I ended up solving the screen problem where I'm having hard time to see IC-7000 display in bright light with this.. apparatus :D

Why so strange shape? Well, the radio is typically on a small table and I anyways look at it from angle, so why not make it conform that :)

Major move for 3D construction: Starbucks unveiled its first 3D-printed store in Texas. This drive-thru/pickup only spot, built by Peri 3D, shows the tech going mainstream. Faster, greener builds are here.
