Made a 3D printable paracord spool box to sort my Paracord 550

Hey everyone!

After sharing my original Skådis paracord spool, someone reached out asking if I could make a Gridfinity version. So I designed this modular Gridfinity spool box with a built-in guide line to keep the cord neat and tangle-free.

It keeps the cord organized, lets you pull out the exact length you need without the spool rolling away, and stacks cleanly.

I’m sharing the files for free on MakerWorld for anyone with a 3D printer (or a friend with one!):

Since you guys are the real paracord experts, I’d love to know what you think or if you have any ideas for improvements!

Reaching for 200 followers to unlock MakerWorld commercial licensing

Hey everyone!

Lately, I’ve been receiving several requests for commercial licenses on a few of my designs on MakerWorld.

I'd love to offer this, but MakerWorld requires creators to reach 200 followers before unlocking the built-in commercial membership feature.

I definitely don’t want to beg for followers, but if you’re into functional prints and utility designs, I’d be super grateful if you checked out my profile!

If you find something you like and decide to drop a follow, it genuinely means a lot and helps me get closer to offering commercial licenses.

Thanks in advance for taking a look!

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a custom project where I was asked to design a 3D-printed 'pinecone' for nosework training.

To be honest, I don't own a dog myself, so I wanted to reach out to you experienced handlers to see if this type of object is actually practical for training. The person who requested it mentioned that they usually use cut-up scent-soaked cotton swabs inside small metal tins with holes. Their goal was to have something 'more natural' looking that doesn't stand out as much visually, forcing the dog to rely solely on their nose to locate the scent.

I’m curious:

  • Is this a shape/form factor that is commonly used?
  • Are there any specific challenges with 3D-printed material (like scent absorption or durability) that I should be aware of when designing hides?

I’m really just looking to understand the mechanics of nosework better to see if this design actually serves its purpose well.

Any feedback or insights from your training sessions would be greatly appreciated!
