I designed and 3D printed a set of balconies for my daughter's Calico Critters as she always wants to take some to bed. I figured a wall-mount balcony for her bedroom would be the perfect place to put them. I based the baluster design on the short railing from the Red Roof Cozy Cottage (The older(?) version with shutters) and also made a version that can attach to it (Can see the original railing and that version in the second image).

Have made the files available on Maker World if anyone wants to print their own.

Have spent the past couple of weeks designing and printing a whole set of supports, clamps, clips, stakes, spikes, guards, etc. for my 1/4" and 1/2" drip irrigation system. These are usually sold for around $1 each here in Canada; I recon I've probably saved close to $70 so far by making them all myself (the larger stakes take around 8g of PETG). Went through a few design iterations to get strong but sharp spikes that can be easily removed and hold the tubing securely. The clips for the 1/2" tubing are looser which helps when assembling it all as there's a lot of twisting and pulling involved so the tubing just unclips rather than ripping out the whole stake.

I haven't yet experimented with designing any of the emitters or corners / tees. There's a bit of a challenge there in design and print orientation to 3D print, for example, a T-junction thin enough to press-fit the 1/2" distribution tubing over while maintaining a large enough internal diameter.

I've uploaded all of them to a collection on Makerworld if anyone wants to use them.
