A 300mm tall stand for our sticker packs we sell at craft fairs. I printed it in two halves and used super glue to stick it together.

The first pieces of the full size prototype powered rope ascender, 4 pieces in total which bolt together to create the power pulley wheel and uses pieces cut from aluminum extrusion connectors as the teeth meaning apart from the teeth the entire pulley is printed.

I've designed it to use as much off the shelf components as possible with an aluminium flatbar as the spine so anyone can build it without needing a machine shop, this version is powered by a 5065 brushless motor (half the size of a coke can and almost 2kw

) which is housed in the bottom and connected with a 2:1 belt reduction which then drives the 4.3:1 planetary reduction in built into the pulley using RC car components giving around 10:1 but the main version will be drill powered and more compact without the motor and the drive shaft is a shoulder bolt so hex bit slots right in.

I designed a couple of cases for two different mini hmi units. They will be used on my robot project. The larger unit has a discrepancy on the side aperture where the SD card sits that will need to be addressed on the final iteration :ashamed:

Out with the old and in with the new! Hopefully the table should drain under the glass now.

Nah just pla+, original is some years old rubber and most had perished so glass was just sitting on frame and water wouldn't drain so quick print to fix.

Is pla+ uv resistant?

A good friend of mine is a massive Star Wars fan so for the last few days the printer has been busy making him some gifts :laughing:

A replacement part for a broken curtain track. It did take me 3 attempts to get the design right as needed to make room for 3 operating cords in a tight space.

Resin printed for my brother an upgraded 75mm gun for his Tamiya Cromwell tank. Also some tiny brackets left out of the model design. Scale is in mm! My brother designed I just printed. Detail amazing as the brackets are minute. Elegoo Saturn.

Locking wheel nut key was popping out due to wear whilst trying to tighten after replacing pads so spacer to take up the slack and help stop it twisting.

And clamped so it can't cam up and out on the worn teeth as body weight wasn't enough :clapping:

Tunnel extension for a catflap to bridge a cavity.
View attachment 465324

My mate did that 25 years ago .
He came home one Friday afternoon to find six or seven cats in his house and it was stinking of cat pee . He'd spent a lot of money on the then new cat flaps with an inductor key on his cats collar . so only his cat could enter the home .
As the next day was a Saturday ,I sat by my bedroom window watching the gardens to see if anything was unusual , around 10.00 hrs. I happened to be looking out the bedroom window towards his back door & saw loads of cats almost head up the others arses go flying through his cat flap like a train of railway wagons following his moggy .

A frame brace designed for a voron printer in green abs. I cut the grow tent frame down to suit the space better, and give myself some slack to pull the top centre into a peak, put a hole with a small eyelet in it and feed the filament in through that from outside. Its only a temporary solution but it works great and no odour in the room.
I've tried to print this brace before in abs, and its always detached from the bed a few hours in, but now no warping at all. Its for the ender's frame, and attaches with hammer in tee nuts, but lets you leave any corner braces already fitted in place too. Just another 7 to go. I'll fill the bed and print as many as plater can fit in one go now its working and leave it printing overnight.

People didn't believe me several years ago when I said we needed to have a fixed hot climate inside a cabinet to get good prints as the slightest air movement could kill a print if it had any height to it .
