Measurement. I guess if the build plate was 100c not 50c it would be more but still not electric fire or tumble dryer territory

A gland thing in PETG for my coach lantern. Measured exactly to push into the 20mm flexible conduit. Hopefully a slug proof seal!
Some CT1.
Where it goes into the conduit will just be some silicone grease.

Got fed up scrabbling round on my (excessively cluttered 
) desk so I made this:
There's very little in the way of a bezel on my monitor, so it was quite a challenge to come up with something that's firmly attached. Got it right on the second attempt, which I think is pretty good all things considered. It doesn't block any of the usable screen area:

I made a distribution post for the 12v electrics in my shed.
£8 each on ebay.

You just use it as a post to hook a bunch of ring connectors together. Its basically a really cheap and cheerful bus bar.
How did you work out what it cost?

Brass soft jaws that go on some modified off-the-shelf soft jaws. See here:

I'm happy to share, but unless you have exactly the same monitor as me (HP E233) it'll be completely useless to you.
To be honest my plan was to machine a piece of aluminium to mimic the monitor and screw those in various places in the workshop.

(I thought I'd already posted this, but perhaps not)... Anyway, a few days ago I made some saw jigs to help cut dovetails. I got a bit carried away and printed lots with all sorts of different angles:
They get held against the workpiece (behind it for a Japanese saw, in front for a Western saw) and they guide the saw:
or if you prefer a Western saw:
Once the tails are cut and the waste chopped out, the tail board is used to mark up the pin board and then the other two sides of the guide jig thing help cut the pins:
First attempt using the jig:
another one:

Surprised how well this printed. Slight warping at the catch side and part of the catch broke off. Just look at the terminal housings though!

Trying to do photocell housing in black PETG. It fits in these holes cut in the brickwork:
1st go, printed flat:
2nd attempt, printed at 45deg:
3rd go:
Third one rubbed down with mesh cloth and ready to be plastic primed along with a new petrol cap for SWMBO's pug as the PLA one has suffered:
Primer filler next!
