Survival and preparedness requests: Instant cold pack case Instant cold packs can be carried almost anywhere, and on command when squeezed, become cold enough to treat and prevent numerous injuries and illness, importantly sprains and heat exhaustion. They can easily become compressed by gear and other objects in your pack, and become accidentally activated. A case would prevent this and help families and first responders. #Design Request #Model Request #Survival #Preparedness

Survival and preparedness requests: Sandbag funnels Sandbags are essential for preventing flooding and water damage, and sandbag funnels make the process far quicker and easier. Designs can range from systems that hold the bag upright, to basic funnels. #Design Request #Model Request #Survival #Preparedness

Survival and preparedness requests: Spot X Satellite communicator cases, MOLLE attachments, and protectors. Spot X is a unique Satcom for its ability to operate without being tethered to a phone via bluetooth, and for its full keyboard. But that same feature is a failure point, therefor it needs to be protected. #Design Request #Model Request #Survival #Preparedness

Survival and preparedness request: Bic sleeves that are waterproof, float, and protect the button. Everyone should carry a bic in the wilderness and even have one at home. Their single biggest failure point is the large button on the back that releases the fuel. Cases that protect the bic completely, not just sleeves, would be extremely useful. #Design Request #Model Request #Survival #Preparedness

Survival and preparedness requests: Safety knife Safety knives like these are valuable to responders and families for quickly cutting clothing and cordage. They're excellent for safely removing clothing around a wound or injury, but they're generally also good for nearly endless cutting tasks too. Any tool with this many uses is valuable for preparedness and emergency. #Design Request #Model Request #Survival #preparedness

Survival and Preparedness requests: Log Scribe When faced with limited resources, cabin, barn, and shelter building is essential. A log scribe allows you to transpose the shape of one log to another, so they will lay flat together. This includes not just hewing logs so they're flat, but also notching, windowsills, and other features. #Design Request #Model Request #Survival #Preparedness

Survival and preparedness requests: Trapping teaching aids and/or working trap mechanisms It can be difficult for someone without practice to carve or rig a trapping mechanism, regardless of how simple they look. In practice, it can be more complicated than that. For this reason, teaching aids and practice traps can be highly valuable. The main two would be spring pole snares and figure four deadfalls. Both have many variations allowing you to capture almost any game. #Design Request #Model Request #Survival #Preparedness

Survival and preparedness requests: Cabinet-style first aid storage aka wall mounted There are a ton of first aid boxes on this site, ironically most look difficult to open especially with one hand, which is quite common. But I couldn't reasonably find any that are for the home, office, workplace, such as cabinets. Larger cabinets could be printed in multiple pieces, while smaller can print as one, or one plate at least. #Design Request #Model Request #Survival #Preparedness

Survival and preparedness requests: Improvised Tourniquets A large portion of what ends up being survival and preparedness 3D prints will be alternative versions to gear and supplies that people otherwise wouldn't have access to. In developing countries for example, it can be hard to find a reliable tourniquet. Which is why it would be incredibly valuable for folks to design alternatives and improvised versions. If they're more effective than a stick and two rags, than they're worth it. A tourniquet is basically a locking windlass, and if designed properly, even PLA could be strong enough. #Design Request #Model Request #Survival #Preparedness

Survival and preparedness requests: Carving protection Various carving protectors for thumbs and fingers, and clips that go on the spine of blades to make pushing them comfortable and ergonomic instead of denting and cutting up your thumb. #Design Request #Model Request #Survival #Preparedness
