I designed and 3D printed a vent deflector to blow hot air under and behind a dishwasher. The dishwasher is on a north wall and on a cold, windy night, the drain hose froze and cracked. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked to keep the space behind warm during some recent frigid nights.

16+ hours into a 17+ hour print …… hit end fan failure. 😞

I’ve replaced the fan - let’s see if having the door open for 10mins will show.

TIL my 3D printer will make rather good quality minis, which was something I thought only resin printers could do. Uh oh. #3dprinting #BambuX1C

My kids have been enjoying a hand-me-down Wii. One of the nunchucks was missing most of its joystick pad so I designed a new one in FreeCAD and printed it in squishy TPU on my Bambu.

I finished the arcade I was working on in time for my oldest kiddo's birthday! It is running RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi 4. I designed the marquee sign and mounting brackets for the various PCBs in FreeCAD and printed them on my Bambu.

There was a power supply in the lab at work that had lost 3 of its feet over the years. I designed and 3D printed new feet for it. I printed them in TPU for vibration damping.

I found and 3D printed a really neat model of a human skull. It is held together with magnets so it can be disassembled and reassembled many times.

Full Size Anatomically-Correct 18-Piece Magnetic Human Skull Model - 3D model by DaveMakesStuff on Thangs

This human skull model can be used for learning anatomy or just freaking out your friends. See here for assembly video: https://youtu.be/dm0RT-1eFFc To assemble

I got tired of all of the cables kicking around the junk drawer so I designed and 3D printed a bin to hold them.

So, this evening wasn't all bad. I managed to get my #BambuX1C (which of course is running with #X1Plus) to print a really good #TPU bracket.

I am very happy about that :)

It's the little things, right?

Lamp I printed for my niece. Printed on my old #Ender5Plus, so quality is not very good (compared to the #BambuX1C I have now). #DIY
