Hi all, so a couple of months back I already shared my modular woodgrain couch table model, which came with an optional Gridfinity plate and woodgrain bins. Since you didn't hate that, here's my new Woodfinity Make Up Organizer. It comes with a 4x4 baseplate and four bins for different products, but I also added a blank one for your custom cutouts. Everything can be held extra firmly with magnets, but I find it quite sturdy without them as well. And: It all comes with a nice woodgrain look, so it's both functional and aesthetic.

You can check out the model here:

A while ago I started experimenting with wooden textures, eventually combining it's aesthetic look with the functionality of the Gridfinity system. This is my Woodfinity Make Up organizer: It comes with four basic 2x2 bins but can hold any Gridfinity bin. I also added a blank bin, so you can use it with custom cutouts for your products.

Hi, I'm a 3D modeling hobbyist. Sharing my Dune-themed project-maybe someone will get inspired by it!
This is a mechanical book nook for the Dune collection, in case you were wondering.

Hey all, I came up with a key holder that grabs and releases keys with just a push or pull on a keychain a couple months back because I can’t be bothered to aim for tiny hooks.

The original model was very minimalistic and modern, the new one is more colorful and fit for a back to school contest over at printables. The parts came out super nice, and despite the internet being anxious about it I was able to print the balloons in print-by-object mode on my U1 just fine.

If you want to check out the model, it’s right here:

Recently, I realized that I didn’t want to use my phone as an alarm clock anymore, so I decided to build my own using an ESP32 and an e-ink display.

I wanted to make something that is super simple to use: rotate the encoder knob to set the alarm time, and press the button behind it to activate/deactivate the alarm.

You can also add custom alarm sounds through a small web server running on the local network.

The base of the clock doubles as a wake-up light. Before the alarm goes off, it slowly transitions from a warm orange/red glow to full daylight. It can also be used as a night light.

The hardware

The clock is built around an Elecrow CrowPanel ESP32-S3 5.79” E-Paper HMI Display. It has an ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8R8, a 5.79” e-ink display, an SD card reader and a GPIO expander. It’s also really easy to flash over USB-C, which made it a pretty convenient starting point.

For the audio, I used an external I2S amplifier board (MAX98357A) with a single 3W speaker that I had laying around (and sounds surprisingly well).

The wake-up light and front light are made using part of an SK6812 LED strip.

Everything fits into a custom 3D-printed enclosure that I designed from scratch. The base is made from translucent PETG so that it allows the wake-up light to shine through it.

The firmware

I do have some experience writing code for the ESP32, but nowhere near enough to build a GUI of this scale from scratch. I ended up designing everything in Figma, and used Claude to make everything "come to life".

The clock keeps time by syncing with NTP. If the WiFi connection is lost, it keeps running using the ESP32’s internal clock. In the future, I might add an RTC module so it can keep accurate time completely independently of WiFi.

Conclusion

I’ve been using it for almost two weeks now, and it’s definitely still a work in progress. There are plenty of things I’d like to improve, both in the hardware and the software.

But honestly, I’m really happy with how the first prototype turned out.

This is currently just a personal hobby project, but I’d be happy to share the code and 3D files if anyone is interested.

Curious what you guys think!

After creating a key holder with a simple catch and release ball joint mechanism earlier this year, I gave it another go and made this more colorful model for #Printables ‘ back to school contest.

You attach the balloons to your keychains and hang up your keys by pushing them into the sockets. Grab your keys by pulling the balloon back out and you’re on your way.

If you like the mechanism but want a more minimalistic model, here’s the „wooden“ one:
