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.

I got tired of fumbling around under my desk to switch my audio connection between a headset and a speaker bar so I created a simple 3.5mm TRRS audio switch with KiCad and FreeCAD.

If you would like to make one for yourself, I put the design files on GitHub (https://github.com/seaallen75/audio_switch_TRRS). I also put the case on MakerWorld for those with a Bambu 3D printer (https://makerworld.com/en/models/1996048-audio-switch-3-5mm-trrs#profileId-2148621).

I designed a case in FreeCAD for an ESP32 dev board that I use as a Bluetooth-to-WiFi bridge to connect my radon sensor to Home Assistant.

Hot on the heels of my first (finally) successful resin 3D print, I printed a DnD mini for my wife.

I finally got a successful print from my resin 3D printer!

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.

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