<h3>OpenSCAD project to create vacuum hose connectors.</h3>Intended for generating connections that would allow connecting vacuum hoses and tools of different diameters together.Parametric settings support a few connections types. The connections types can be used on ether end of the adapter.&nbsp;The project is actively maintained by myself.

Also check out my new <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/136529#profileId-148605" rel="nofollow noopener">Diamond Stone version</a> of this rolling knife sharpener.&nbsp;Most home knife sharpeners have you drag the blade across a sharp edge or small diameter grinding surface. While this works well initially, after repeated use, it'll start to form divots on the edge -- kind of like washboarding on a dirt road -- eventually turning your knife edge into a ragged mess. This rolling sharpener works more like a sharpening stone, where the flat surface keeps the edge flat and even.&nbsp;Modeled after those pricey rolling diamond or ceramic sharpeners, this one uses 3"/75mm dia. discs of emery paper instead. You can buy adhesive backed discs, or you can simply cut out discs from standard sheets and apply them to ends of the sharpener with glue stick or double-sided tape. I use 400 grit emery paper on one end of the sharpener for rough sharpening and 600 grit on the other end for finishing.&nbsp;The knife holder holds the blade at a fixed angle with three 12mm dia. x 3mm thick neodymium magnets. Sitting flat, it holds the blade at 15 degrees, but there is also an adjustment screw that will raise the angle by 2 degrees per rotation of the screw. Once you've got it set to the proper angle, roll the sharpener back & forth along the blade with light pressure, as shown in the animation. Just make sure that you are pressing the front edge of the holder firmly against your worksurface so that you are getting 3-point support from the front edge of the holder and the adjustable post in the back.&nbsp;Assembly of the sharpener is simple: just screw the two rotating discs together through the center of the cylindrical body. I added wide rubber bands as tires to the crowned edge of the rollers for a smoother feel, but it'll also work without them. For the knife holder, you just need to superglue the three 12mm x 3mm magnets in place and then insert the angle adjuster screw. Oh, and if your plastic wants to squeak, just use a little light grease or oil on the shaft during assembly.

Here are some plain bins for the Gridfinity storage system. I did not model these myself, but saved them from a few other places. I wanted to make sure they were available on this site as well.

<h3>Tealight lithopane stand</h3>I uploaded a modular and customizable lithophane lamp: <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/222458-customizable-and-modular-lithophane-lamp" rel="nofollow">https://www.printables.com/model/222458-customizable-and-modular-lithophane-lamp</a>In case you want to change a single lithopane on that lamp, I designed this little tealight stand for a single lithopane so you don't have to throw it away.Lithophane: I've used the following site to create the lithophane: <a href="http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/" rel="nofollow">http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/</a> Make sure to use a picture with a 1:1 ratio On the website select "outer curve" model Set your model settings to maximum size 100mm, thickness 3mm and border 3mm Also choose "positive image" in the image settings Set Curve to 85I made the radius of the groove a little bit smaller than the radius of the lithophane so that it has a nice tight fit.Let me also know if you have any suggestions!&nbsp;<h3>Print Settings I used</h3>Printer:Up!

<h2>Designing this took weeks of work and testing.   Your boosts are an appreciated form of thanks </h2>&nbsp;Update: I added a mirrored version of the bases and the manifold for those that want to mounth this somewhere other than on the printer or for those with a k1 max.&nbsp;Update #2: Enclosure file is up! check it out over at. <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/105490#profileId-112584" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/105490#profileId-112584</a><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000089050/design/2023-12-23_b2f1da0f06987.jpg">Update 3: changed print profile to use glued dowels to hold the two parts together.  I think this will sove the most common problem of getting things to line up.  &nbsp;This solved my biggest beef with day to day use of the printer……. changing filaments. &nbsp; I had a few goals.<ol><li>Be able to load filaments from the front.</li><li>Be able to leave my regularly used filaments in place</li><li>Have a place to hold filament when not in use to keep it from unrolling (you cant see it but there is holder behind each loading spot on the manifold.</li><li>be quiet - ie no rubbing.</li></ol>You&#39;re gonna need a few parts<ul><li>I used 4mm OD, 3mm ID PTFE tube to try to reduce friction.
