Sentinel Cylinder Candy Dispenser

A candy dispenser with a watchful streak: the body stands as one straight 105 mm cylinder from foot to rim, and two eye holes on the front give it the look of a sentinel standing guard over the opening below. Those eyes are through-holes opening into a pocket for an ultrasonic sensor, so a wave of the hand can trip the servo below the gate slot and slide the gate open, dropping candy into the hand opening below. That opening is a genuine hole cut clean through the front wall, about 63 mm wide and 21 mm tall, sized for an average hand rather than a large one. A retractable catch tray rides on side rails on its floor, just under the outlet, with a low notch at the front so you can scoop the candy out with your fingers. A cone at the floor of the candy cylinder funnels the sweets down to the outlet, and the whole thing stands 200 mm tall — a tall column that holds a serious load of candy while keeping a modest footprint on the counter. All five pieces are laid out separately on the plate, each oriented for printing without supports. The candy cylinder is silk white, the base pink, the catch tray light blue, and the gate slider and servo horn white. The printed parts Base Housing — a round 105 mm pink body, 48 mm tall. The hand opening sits at the front bottom, open through the wall. The two sensor eye holes sit just above it, also cut clean through, so the sensor has a clear line of sight out the front. The servo bay is sized for an SG90: the servo slides in from the back wall, shaft up, with its mounting ears resting in a slot cut into the housing. A round recess above the body lets the shaft boss sit so the horn runs flush under the gate. The wider body leaves room to open the sensor pocket to full size. Candy Cylinder — a 105 mm open cylinder, 152 mm tall, in silk white, with roughly 3 mm walls, flush with the base so the body reads as one uninterrupted column. A wide, shallow cone at its floor feeds the outlet; everything above it is candy storage. Gate Slider — a flat 26.3 × 33.8 × 2.3 mm white plate that slides sideways in a slot across the outlet, just under the candy cylinder floor. A solid bar covers the outlet when closed; a 12 mm hole lines up when open. Its tail has a slot for the servo horn pin, and about 60° of servo sweep moves the gate roughly 13.6 mm — enough to fully open or close the outlet. Servo Horn — a 10.1 × 13.3 × 3.2 mm white horn with a pin that rides in the gate’s tail slot. The servo below the gate slot turns it to shift the gate. Catch Tray — a 64.5 × 57 × 7.5 mm light-blue tray that slides into the hand opening on two side ribs set in matching grooves, and sits directly under the outlet. Its back and side walls are about 1.5 mm thick, the front wall carries a low scoop notch, and the front edge stands about 1.5 mm proud of the housing as a pull tab. The rails are 3 mm wide with about 0.5 mm clearance in the grooves. There is no end stop, so the tray pulls out completely; a small snap bump would add a stopping point. It prints flat and needs no supports. Before you print The servo pocket matches an SG90: about 12.6 mm wide and 23 mm tall, with a mounting-ear slot. The sensor pocket and eye holes are undersized for an HC-SR04. Open those up while keeping the outside dimensions, or plan on a smaller sensor. The wall between the servo bay and the hand opening is thin, about 0.6 mm at final scale. Print the base with extra perimeters. The 152 mm cylinder is a tall, thin-walled tube — print it upright as laid out, and print it slowly. Check that it fits your printer’s height; if not, split it into two stacking rings. The gate slot has only about 1.4 mm of material above it before the cylinder floor, and the wall between the hand opening and the sensor pocket is thin. Print the base with extra top layers and extra perimeters for strength. Keep the gate plate flat on the bed so it slides cleanly through its slot, and keep the tray flat so its side rails and walls stay square. The base and candy cylinder have no locating lip, so glue or tape them together. Test-fit a real SG90, ultrasonic sensor and tray before final assembly. Wire the sensor and servo to the same controller. When the sensor sees a hand, the controller turns the servo to open the gate, waits, then turns it back to close. Remix hooks — cap the 105 mm cylinder with a lid, open the outlet up for faster dispensing, open the sensor pocket to HC-SR04 size now that the round base has the room, widen the hand opening, deepen the catch tray, add a small snap bump to give the tray a stopping point, or add a shallow funnel lip around the outlet for easier loading.

Funnel 6 to 2.5 Inch

A one-piece funnel with a 6 in (152.4 mm) inner diameter at the wide end, tapering to a 2.5 in (63.5 mm) inner diameter spout. Each end has a 1 in (25.4 mm) straight wall. Remix hooks Taper length: 60 mm cone section. Lengthen for a gentler slope, shorten for a squat funnel. Wall thickness: 2 mm. Raise to 3 mm for rigidity with heavy contents. Spout diameter: 63.5 mm inner. Change it to match a specific container neck. Pairs with: a mesh strainer disc sitting in the 1 in top collar, or a rubber gasket on the spout. Variants: add a rim lip or hanging tab.

Toaster knob.

A replacement knob for a toaster's pull-down lever. The head is 34 × 22 × 16 mm with rounded edges so it sits comfortably under the fingers, and the pin on the back passes through the vertical 6 mm slot in the toaster body to reach the metal lever inside. Knob face to pin tip, the part runs about 42 mm long, and it prints as a single piece with no assembly. The front of the head carries a raised :-) smiley, turned upright and centred, standing 0.8 mm proud of the face. It is made of two 3 mm round eyes, a short vertical nose bar and a curved smile, with the lines drawn thick enough to print cleanly on a 0.4 mm nozzle. Print the knob on its back with the front face up so the relief comes out sharp. The lever slides into a deep slot in the pin and is held by friction rather than by any fastener. Sawtooth ridges along the bottom of the slot let the lever push in easily and resist slipping back out, so the knob stays on through repeated toasting cycles. The slot is deliberately made 0.1 mm narrower than the 1 mm lever, so the fit is snug from the first print: it has to be pressed on, and the slot walls can be filed if it turns out too tight. A loose fit would mean a reprint, so start snug. Print at the stated dimensions rather than scaling, because the friction fit depends on the slot width. Head: 34 × 22 × 16 mm (W × H × D), rounded edges, raised smiley on the front Smiley: 3 mm eyes, 1.6 mm nose bar, 1.8 mm smile, 0.8 mm proud Pin: 5.6 × 10 × 25 mm, centred on the back of the head Lever slot: 0.9 mm wide × 7 mm tall, 22 mm deep measured from the pin tip Teeth: 1 mm sawtooth ridges at 2 mm pitch, starting 10 mm in from the pin tip Fit: 0.1 mm interference on a 1 mm lever — file the slot walls if it binds, never the lever Printing: one piece, no assembly; print on its back with the front face up

Brutalist T-Post Cap with Square Platform

A blocky sleeve that drops over a T-post and carries a flat square platform on top — a brutalist plinth silhouette in cap form, all hard edges and stacked planes. The pocket inside is T-shaped, cut generously around a typical steel fence T-post: a 38 × 7 mm flange opening and a 7 × 38 mm stem slot, leaving roughly a millimetre of play per side so it drops on without a fight. The sleeve is 40 mm deep with 3 mm walls and a 4 mm roof, and the whole cap stands 46 mm tall over a 60 × 60 × 6 mm platform. Design notes T-shaped pocket for a T-post — flange opening 38 × 7 mm, stem slot 7 × 38 mm. Pocket sized with a little slack per side; the 7 mm slot width is the fit-critical dimension on real posts. 40 mm deep sleeve, 3 mm walls, 4 mm roof. 60 × 60 × 6 mm square platform sits on top as one solid piece with the sleeve. Overall footprint on the print plate: 60 × 60 mm, 46 mm tall. Prints as a single part; no assembly and no fasteners. Good to know The pocket is shaped from a typical steel fence T-post rather than a measured one — check your post's flange width, stem length and metal thickness before committing to a long print. Platform size is independent of the pocket, so it can grow or thicken without touching the post fit. Tightening or loosening the pocket is a small change if the cap ends up sloppy or stubborn on the post. The sleeve's outside was widened to 44 mm to keep the walls at a full 3 mm around the bigger pocket, so the cap stays chunky rather than thin-shouldered.

5-Point Star Cookie Cutter

A five-point star cookie cutter, 60 mm tip to tip, with 18 mm tall walls and a wide flat flange around the top edge. The flange gives a thumb a broad surface to press on, so pushing the cutter through dough doesn't put a thin edge against your skin. Remix hooks The values below are the ones worth changing. Everything else follows from them. Star size (R, 30 mm): This is the tip radius, so 60 mm across. Change it to scale the star. At about 40 mm across or less, check that the flange doesn't crowd the inner corners. Point sharpness (ratio, 0.5): This is the inner radius divided by the outer radius. Lower values like 0.4 give spikier points. Higher values like 0.6 give a chubbier, more rounded star. Very spiky points are harder to press out of dough. Flange (flangew 4 mm, flanget 2 mm): Widen it for a more comfortable press, or thicken it for more stiffness. Rounding the flange's outer corners is an easy variant if you want it softer on the thumb. Wall (wall, 1.2 mm): This is about three nozzle widths on a 0.4 mm nozzle. Thinner cuts more cleanly but is more fragile. Thicker is sturdier but pushes dough aside more. Height (H, 18 mm): Lower it for thin cookies, or raise it for thick dough or a deeper grip. Pairs well with A set of different sizes, made by changing R and nothing else. Other shapes that reuse the same wall and flange values, such as a heart or circle, so the whole set feels the same in the hand. A matching stamp or embossing plate that fits inside the cutter opening. Printing Print it flange-up or flange-down on the bed. Flange-down needs no supports, and the thin walls grow straight up from the flange. Use food-safe filament if you want to use it on dough.

Softflow — M22 Faucet Splash Diffuser

Softflow is a screw-on splash diffuser for faucets with an M22x1 male outlet thread. The base is perforated with a staggered hex grid of small holes, breaking the flow into many fine streams for a softer, wider spray. A short open chamber between the thread and the perforated floor lets water spread across the whole hole pattern before it exits. Features M22x1 female thread, 8 mm deep, with a beveled lead-in at the opening Staggered hex grid of 1.5 mm holes at 2.6 mm spacing, inside an 18 mm circle 3 mm perforated floor with a relief chamber above it Chamfered top and bottom edges on a round body Dimensions Outer diameter: 28 mm Overall height: 16 mm Thread: M22 x 1 mm pitch, 8 mm engagement depth Floor thickness: 3 mm Print notes Print with the perforated face down on the bed, opening facing up; no supports are needed. Thread fit has not been tested against a real faucet. If it binds, increase the thread clearance slightly. A fine layer height (0.12–0.16 mm) keeps the small holes and thread crisp. PETG or ASA suits wet, warm-water use better than PLA.
