Custom 4 Camera Mount

I am an extreme amateur when it comes to CAD but I’m proud as hell of this. This four camera mount is for use at my D&D table for my remote players to have a better time.

The mount includes four cameras, one facing the DM, two facing the player tables and one facing down toward the battle map.

The mast is in threaded sections to raise or lower it, or to disassemble it for travel.

The base includes cleats for the extra usb cables.

Duped a tool for kids to open their carseat buckle.

Young kids still need to be in a harnessed car seat but drop off in school car line is difficult. Tools like this let kids unbuckle themselves to make everything go smoother.

There is a certain tool you can buy online but it's $15 for a little piece of plastic - a ridiculous price. So I designed this tool to mimmick it for pennies.

Made in PETG (Prusament and Polymaker, just scraps I had laying around) and then painted the pushing nub with Plasti Dip to make it grippy on the car seat buckle.

Got dragged down the sink organizer rabbit hole by this community lol.

Got a little inspired by this sub a few weeks ago and made some sink accessories after a found a water spot on my window sill that required repainting because it had bubbled under my old caddy that wasn't draining. 

So I'm just going to put everything in this one cause it's nothing to crazy and I'm not sure how universal some of this stuff is.

  • Items included
    • Sponge Caddy
      • 222.25 (wide) x 128(deep) mm
      • Currently designed to span ~115mm, could be shortened or lengthened without to much issue.
    • Brush Caddy
      • 200 (wide) x 105 (deep) mm
      • Removable tray for easy cleaning. 
      • Feed have claws to stop it from being pushed back.
      • Front drain spout
      • Feed are swappable and I've include ones that will let you adjust the angle from flat at 0deg, 2.5deg, and 5 deg.  This way if your ledge isn't flat you can help it drain a little more.  You pin them in place with a piece of filament once installed.
      • You do need a little bit of support material on this one, doesn't actually need to be the real support material anything should work for it.
    • General use trays
      • 200 (wide) x 110 (deep) mm
      • These are just some simple trays I wanted to go with everything else.  I just tossed some stick on rubber feed I had lying around on the bottom of them.
  • Recommended finishing
    • I would recommend you seal any items like this.  I'm really concerned about food safety here, more so about growing mold inside printed parts.
    • I chose to spray these with some water based polyurethane and let it cure before use.   This way there is some kind of barrier where the water and such will be the heaviest.  And it helps smooth out the print for better water flow in general.
    • I know most people won't bother to do this so use a your own risk.

Non-marring mallet/hammer combo with replaceable steel hammer face

First off; yes, I know I could but a cheaper hammer. That’s not the point at all 😂

Handle is Lyten PA1205, head is Sunlu PC-ABS. Metal disk is from McMaster-Carr. The metal striking face can be walked out and replaced or flipped over by tapping a hex key into the two holes on either side. Handle is press-fit into the grip and the head is with added Lyten adhesive for extra security.

One side for tapping together my press/interference fit parts, the other side for occasionally hitting a nail or other surface harder than plastic. I use this in my shop every day.

23-Slot Portable Rotary Burr Case

Hello. So I designed this compact case to keep my rotary burrs and engraving bits organized and easy to grab.

It holds 23 bits with roughly 2.5–3 mm shanks, with slightly deeper slots around the outside for easier access. The threaded lid keeps everything together, and the whole case stays pretty compact at around 66 × 66 mm.

I’ve also made a few other storage cases in a similar style for different tools, so feel free to check those out as well if you like the design. https://makerworld.com/en/models/3121988-23-slot-portable-rotary-burr-case

Couldn’t find the original anymore, so we remade our broken laptop stand

We’ve had this laptop stand in our office for a while and after being dropped one too many times it finally snapped lol (DROPPED TWICE). I tried finding the original file online but couldn’t find it anywhere.

While I was out on a call, one of my friends at work just decided to remake the whole thing from scratch 😂 a Perks of working in a department where we can design and 3D print stuff haha.

We printed ours in ASA since that’s pretty much all we print with at work, but I’d recommend PETG at minimum. Fits laptops up to 20mm (¾") thick.

He gave me permission to throw the file up on MakerWorld too, so figured I’d share it in case anyone else needs one! Fits a Max thickness of 20mm (3/4 inch)

Probably the simplest functional print I've ever designed yet

I kept losing those little battery isolation pull tabs that come with remotes and other battery-powered stuff.

It's literally just a tiny piece of plastic that sits between the battery and the contact, but I figured if I'm going to keep needing them, I might as well make one I can print whenever I want.

Definitely not my most complicated design, but sometimes the stupidly simple prints are the useful ones I guess lol

Free model if anyone else happens to need one:

Does anyone recognize this 3D printed bottle clip? Loops over the neck + zip-tie strap for belt carry — can't find the file anywhere

Found this yellow 3D printed clip on a water bottle (photo attached) and I'm kind of obsessed with it. It hooks around the bottle's neck under the cap, and a zip tie threads through a channel on the clip to make an adjustable strap — looks like it turns any bottle into something you can clip to a belt loop or carabiner. Someone mentioned it also fits a Nalgene neck.

I've dug through Printables, MakerWorld, Thingiverse, and Cults3D with every search term I can think of ("bottle belt clip," "water bottle carrier," "zip tie bottle holder," etc.) and can't turn up the file. It's simple enough that it feels like it should exist already, but no luck so far.

If anyone's seen this design before, knows the maker, or wants to take a crack at modeling it themselves, I'd really appreciate a point in the right direction. Happy to share more angles/measurements if that helps.

Thanks in advance — this community always comes through!

Designed a sink handle extender so my kid can operate the sink by himself

The fitting mechanism isn’t perfect, but it was super satisfying iterating on the handle shape and arriving at a point a toddler could intuitively grab it to turn the handle off/on for independent handwashing.

Interestingly, my first design was basically just a right angle arm towards the front of the sink, but then everyone in the house instinctively tried to push it away to turn on the sink instead of pull towards the front, which kept breaking the handle.
