Printing addict that loves to design useful and practical models. I enjoy printing and testing my designs. I share my designs hoping that others will enjoy and benefit their use as well. After using CAD programs at work for 25 years this has become my personal hobby for the past 15 years. I get several ideas throughout the day where I believe I can create a 3D model and print out that will make something I can use or make something better. I'm obsessed. As a side note: I LOVE my puppy!
This printed very well. I did add a brim to the outside (outer brim only) of the tall skinny shafts so they wouldn't wobble and cause problems towards the top of the shafts. I left everything else in the profile as is. As well, I shaved and sanded the long shaft a little to spin freely in the handle. All worked well and seems to be very sturdy. Nothing broke yet.
Couple tips.
Please keep your filament dry. Even dry new filament after you get it. This is a very common problem.
Enclosed printers work well. I have several bed slingers (A1's and A1 Mini's, which I love) which I keep in the zip-up material enclosures which work well. If you do not have an enclosure keep the bed a few degrees above normal to keep the thin items from warping and pulling off the bed.
As always, clean your print plate. Even textured plates. Even the oil off of your skin will cause bed adhesion problems. A soft mild dish soap like Dawn liquid works the best. Dry with a dry lint free cloth.

Printed out nicely. A tolerances are correct and fit well. All doors function properly after being worked in a little. I used very little petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on the door and track edges where they slide along the walls. Doesn't seem to affect the PLA filament I used. The box looks good and the kids seem to love them. They love to have a place to store their "valuables".

When I need something, can I make it before I look to buy it? That is my motto. I wanted a way to use my vacuum bags and not damage them. As well, I want them to last as long as possible. Of course I looked and saw many discs on MakerWorld but I wanted to make something that I envisioned. Its not just a disc with holes. It may be slightly over-engineered, but its an excellent disc that makes vacuuming your bags easier and saves your bags in the process. I also created a disc stand.

So my husband has decided to collect watches. He calls them jewelry? Anyway, he keeps putting them on our dresser. Since they are in their cases they are taking up a lot of room. I saw only a couple tower type holders but I wanted something different so I pictured a tree type holder. I envisioned several branches holding watches that could be configured to hold several watches growing upwards so it would save on space. He actually loves it. Hopefully you will too.

This is my 5th gen design for 3D printed shower shelving. I did not like what I was seeing in the stores and the ones I bought online broke so I decided to make my own. The first ones were nice but not sturdy and a few others did not print well. After a little trial and error I came up with this fairly simple but sturdy design. I have been putting heavy shower gel and large shampoo bottles on these and they are holding up fine.

My husband was tired of my razors on the shower shelves so I wanted to make a razor holder that looked good in my shower. I thought daisies would fit the bill and they will fit any decor. I made the double razor holder look like a small bunch of daisies and the single holder gets one daisy. I picked the standard white flower with a yellow center. The base is green like the plant. I recommend using 3M VHB double sided tape or stickers to install on any clean surface. Please enjoy.

This is a cross I designed as a gift for a very religious neighbor. It looks good in several color variations. I am providing profiles without the magnets if you would prefer that option.

I noticed my husband was putting his pints of ice cream in various cups many of which made me roll my eyes. I tried a few on Makers World but the ones I tried had short comings from allowing the container to spin and having the spoon in the way when on the handle. I created this cup from scratch by measuring several different brand containers. Hopefully everyone can print on other printers using this profile with few if any modifications. Please enjoy.
