I bought a Wolfbox MF 50 this week and this was the holder I selected to store it. It has a solid design including some excellent detailing, like the countersunk screwholes and the slight drop towards the back of the holder when mounted to prevent things easily slipping out. I've used a translucent orange PLA for this one.

Having decided the charging cables running across my desk needed tidying up, this was the model I picked to do the job. I was happy with the first one and have now printed off a couple more - mission accomplished.

I've got a screw in the kitchen wall which was a bit too large for this year's calendar (note the damage at the top) so I printed this clip to hold it up. I added a negative part on the back using the "double tear romboid cylinder" shape, which fits neatly over the screw head, and the clip has been holding the calendar up for several days now. At some point I need to tidy up the wall but that's not a 3D printing issue! ... Follow-up (6 April 2026). Although I liked the design, it has gradually lost strength over the past couple of months due to the creep load. Perhaps PLA isn't the best material to use or it needs to be thicker for longer term stiffness? Sadly, with that experience, I can't recommend it as much as I did after first printing it.

Simple but effective. I printed mine in white PETG and had a couple of little nubs to clean off after printing on an A1 mini. Possibly that could be tweaked out in print settings but I'm happy with the functional and beautiful result.

When I mislaid the soft case I had been keeping these clip on lenses in, it seemed like a good time to search for printable models. This one caught my eye and seems to be working well. For day to day use, I use the end of an old sock to prevent too much rattling around and, although I've now found the original case, I'm going to keep using this clever little box.

A good, solid saucer. My only complaint would be that I found the internal diameter only came out to just over 8cm so it was on the tight side for the pot I had in mind. I ended up designing my own saucer model in OpenSCAD so I can vary the parameters as I want but I'll keep the original print for when I have a smaller pot that needs it in future.

I printed this earlier this year, along with some printed bearings. It has worked very well for several months now. The only issue has been that spools can get pulled off when they are low on filament but I'm happy to make a judgement call on when to switch back to the built in spool holder on my A1 mini (which works well with the lighter spools). For the fuller spools, I like the fact I can just drop them on with no extra adjustments so I'm not counting that as a design flaw.

This little bin was worth the time it took to print. I've had it in use for a while now and it is working just as well as I hoped.

Out of a large number of possible options for storing cotton buds, this one particularly caught my eye. I found that the main body had a few printing imperfections and sharp edges which needed some cleaning, although that my have been down to my choice of a translucent PLA filament. I'm planning to print a second one, which I'll try in solid colours - the ribbing on the design (adding strength and a good hand-feel) means you can't easily see how full the container is through the walls even with a translucent material.

As a larger model, these took a while to print and used up quite a chunk of filament but fit perfectly in my bathroom cabinet, allowing me to utilise previously wasted vertical space.

Having been improvising for years with things like tea strainers, I decided it was time to get the 3D printer on the job. Fortunately I checked before launching into my own design and uncovered this little gem. Quick and light to print and it does the job as well as any of my improvisations.

This worked very well compared to the ratchet based model I tried beforehand. It seems very sturdy and I've used it on both plastic and metal tubes to good effect.

Is this really a goniometer or just a well-constructed protractor? I think the way I'm using it is certainly more like the latter but a useful tool nonetheless. Printed on an A1 mini using a pause before the penultimate layer to switch filaments and emphasise the markings.

Printed quickly and with no issues (Sunlu PLA on Generic PLA setting)
