Kept seeing the "Trash can" or as we call them, wheelie bin wheel covers being posted, so made some from my youth.

So far..

Vauxhall Nova / Opel Corsa A GTE / GSi
Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth (ram raiders favourite 😂)
Renault 5 GT Turbo
Ford Fiesta Mk2 XR2 "Pepperpots"

Bin men had a slight chuckle as they wheeled out my GTE wheelie bin this morning, my wife not so much 😅

Collection is here: https://makerworld.com/en/collections/27190228-90s-uk-wheel-bin-alloy-wheels

Hopefully this will bring a smile to anyones face as old as me.

I only had the Nova out of that list, first car was a 1.2L (otherwise known as the P.O.S car due to it's dodgy gearbox and noisy thrust bearing!), one face lift SR 1.4 and a really crappy GTE that I'm pretty sure someone painted in their garage 😂 - still not sure what made me buy that car!

Great memories of a friends Sapphire 4x4 Cosworth, don't know what he'd done to tune that car, but it would spin all 4 wheels on command, until it went pop of course 😀 Same guy that used to fit the 2ltr 16v's into Novas!

Pictured with the first set too, not a collector, so will likely 3D print a display for these to stand on to take up less room

Update just arrived, the text is back to being black again 😂

Some of you might remember the iOS / MacOS coaster set I published before, with the Mac M4 Mini coaster holder (included in the second picture for reference), it proved quite popular on here and I added a whole bunch more after publishing, trying to use the colour depth / shading options with as few colours as possible (where it would add value / be worth it!).

For this first 8 I've uploaded, the shading / depth affect has been applied to the Reddit and Google Drive icons.

One of the requests however, was the add in some 3rd party apps in, so I've made a second pack, starting off with 8 app icons, including one all of us reading this will be used to seeing :)

Also taking feedback onboard, these aren't all uploaded as single profiles per app, all of the first 8 I've uploaded are in one profile, with each coster on its own plate.

When I create some more, I'll do them in batches, the next profile will then have a bunch (I'll try and do them in 8's, will just depend how much time I get to make and test print them).

Once the "Mixed filament" feature in Bambu Studio becomes live (It won't let you upload any profiles with it enabled right now) I'll try and incorporate that and see if I can then include things like Gemini and Instagram, with their colour blending icons.

Hope you like them, if any specific requests, let me know! - No guarantees, but I'll add them to the on-going list of things I want to make in Fusion.

The original set from the second picture is linked on the above page, should you want those.

My daughter is going to be over the moon, now safely tucked away until her birthday :)

I checked with Jellycat support and sadly they’ve run out of the black tote bags, the “only” freebie it came with was the Jack pin.

My daughter was asking for some clickers, keyboard clickers ordered and some clickers made for her.

Then my brain started thinking about a proton pack style clicker, some time in Fusion this morning and 3 test prints later, here we are :)

I’m fashionably late to the clicker trend of course, maybe I’ll make one of those stupid 3D printed can koozies in 6 months time 😂

Surprisingly satisfying this though!

Sadly looks like they are out of the free tote bags and new sticker sheets, but glad to have got this ordered, birthday isn’t until July though 😂

It would appear from the MTV Beavis and Butt-head light box post I made, there's quite a few old fartknockers on here 😂

Thought those same people might appreciate The Great Cornholio in all his glory, there's a 5 colour version with his hair showing and a 4 colour version where he has some tighty whites on his head, for reasons I can't remember (The TP holder gave me the idea and then found an episode reference with them on).

I haven't got the best skin tone filament for Cornholio (BL beige) it lights up well, but looks quite pale without illumination.

Lit this one from the back this time, rather than round the sides, as a) it looked like it would be a faff with the small space in the arms and hands, and b) at the time this was the entirety of the LED light strip I had left 🙂

There's an optional stand that you can customise with your Cornholio quote of choice, instructions on the page!

Someone asked me to make one of these a while back (on the back of the 3D printed store signs I made) and I’ve just got round to doing it.

4 colour print requiring an AMS. I’ve made an optional outside blue cover to make it look more like a store sign when not illuminated, but that does have the downside of blocking out the turquoise from glowing (see 3rd picture).

Simple enough to print and assemble, does require some led lights to be fitted to enable it to work.

List of all the filament colours used is on the page when viewed via the browser, rather than the Bambu Handy app

Apologies that this probably isn’t any kind of revelation to some of you, but I’d made a lightbox yesterday and gone for the technique of attaching the lights on the sides of the internal walls, rather than on the back cover and found the downside.

The positive is that it’s simple to do, the downside is you do see a darker area in the centre.

In the MakerLab lightbox maker, one of the options was to add in a reflective white panel on the rear cover, so I thought I’d try instead some tin foil to reflect the light, cut roughly to shape and taped on, made a nice difference. Checked the garage and I had some foil tape. Applied this to cover the back of the cover and whilst it doesn’t completely fill the centre with the same brightness I’m pleased with the result, posting in case anyone else would be helped by this.

First pic is before tape, second pic is after, third is the application of the tape, which is both satisfying and frustrating to apply 😂, fourth pic shows the light placement.

Edit, looks like there’s a bunch of fellow old people in here with me, for those that want it, MakerWorld link: https://makerworld.com/models/2740167?appSharePlatform=copy
