Heavy-Duty Weed Puller
Created 1 months ago
Description
A heavy-duty dandelion digger and weed puller. Features a thick, ergonomic handle, a pronounced leverage bump (fulcrum) to easily pry stubborn roots, and a deep V-notch to slice right through taproots.
The geometry is deliberately aligned to lay completely flat on its side. This achieves two things:
- Zero supports: The entire side profile sits directly on the bed.
- Maximum strength: Levering tools often snap under pressure if printed upright. By laying it sideways, the printing layer lines run the entire length of the shaft, absorbing the levering force seamlessly.
Specifications
- Overall Length: 240mm
- Thickness: 20mm uniform width
- Suggested Print Settings: 4+ perimeters and high infill for optimal rigidity.

Self-Centering V-Block Finder
A precision marking tool designed to locate the exact center of round and square stock. Eliminates the need to eyeball center lines when preparing material for drilling, turning, or joining. What it's for Self-Centering Base: A 90-degree V-groove securely seats the tool on both round dowels and square cuts. Tapered Pencil Slot: The marking slot tapers from 6mm down to a 1.5mm slit, physically forcing the pencil lead onto the true center line. Corner Relief: The apex of the V-groove includes a circular relief, preventing the sharp corners of square stock from binding. Dimensions Stock Compatibility: Accommodates material widths from 10mm up to 60mm. Overall Size: Measures roughly 86mm wide and 90mm long. Base Plate Thickness: The main plate is 4mm thick, providing a rigid straight edge. Remix ideas Extend the length of the plate and slot for marking deeper along the stock. Widen the V-arms to accommodate larger stock sizes like fence posts. Modify the slot taper to perfectly capture a specific mechanical pencil or marking knife.
Biofloc Monitor Station Enclosure
An enclosure is only as good as the snarl of wires it prevents. This is a heavy-duty two-part monitor housing built specifically for FDM printing, designed to group, separate, and anchor a complete suite of biofloc water-quality electronics without turning into a bird's nest inside. The layout isolates the battery compartment at the bottom and keeps the DC buck converters and relay in a ventilated top section, leaving the central deck clear for the ESP32 and an array of sensor interfaces. Internal divider walls double as cable routing channels, forcing the wiring to stay orderly. Core Features Printability: Both halves print completely flat on the build plate (Z=0). The integrated bottom handle is flush with the front face to avoid overhangs. Dimensions: 170 mm width × 250 mm height × 75 mm depth. Hardware Required: 6× M3 screws for the rear cover; additional M3 hardware for the internal standoffs and the 16x2 LCD faceplate mount. Ports: Bottom panel holds 4× sensor ports (3× 8mm, 1× 6mm) with engraved labels. Right panel holds cutouts for 12V DC, an SD card slot, a rocker switch, and USB programming access.
Experimental Filter Housing V1
A multi-part FDM-optimized housing for testing granular and particulate filter media. Designed with discrete chambers, retaining grids, and standard O-ring sealing surfaces. Disclaimer: This is a strictly non-certified prototype for experimental projects. Do not use for certified respiratory protection. What it's for Testing layered filtration concepts. The housing accommodates a 26mm deep granular adsorption bed and an 8–10mm particulate filter section, separated by an air-distribution spacer. Media is retained by drop-in mesh grids, allowing rapid replacement during testing. Dimensions Overall Assembled Size: 80 mm diameter × 55 mm length Wall Thickness: 3 mm main shell Adsorption Chamber: 68 mm ID × 26 mm depth Connections: Rear standard 3-tab quarter-turn bayonet (35 mm OD tube) Print notes Orientation: Parts are laid out flat on the bed. The front cap should be flipped 180° in your slicer so its top face rests on the build plate. Supports: None required. The bayonet tabs are modeled with a 45° chamfer profile to print cleanly without support material. Tolerances: Threaded interfaces are built with 0.5–1mm diametrical clearances to accommodate standard PETG shrinkage.
Robust 3-Way Irrigation Manifold
A heavy-duty 1-to-3 splitter manifold designed for 5 mm ID irrigation hose. It prints completely flat on its base without supports, using teardrop-shaped mounting bosses to bridge the overhangs. To meet the structural requirement of 4 solid perimeters on a 5.4 mm outer barb, the internal channel strictly inside the hose stems necks down to 2.6 mm. Inside the thick bosses and the main manifold body, the passages open up to 5 mm and 7 mm respectively to minimize flow restriction. Remix Hooks Barb Spacing & Count: Adjust the port_solid() module to add more barbs or change the spacing for stiffer tubing. Port Layout: Expand the main body length and loop the for(x = ...) call to add 4, 5, or 6 outlets. Mounting: The flat rectangular body leaves plenty of room to cut countersunk screw holes if you need to hard-mount it to a rail or planter box.
LockDrop — Packout Cup Holder
A rugged, drop-in cup holder designed to integrate perfectly with the Packout system. Secures easily onto any standard Packout lid using an integrated twist-lock cleat that sits flush for straightforward 3D printing. The main body accommodates standard tumblers and bottles while the heavy-duty walls and gussets ensure side-load stability. Features Twist-Lock Cleat: Drops into standard female Packout receivers with a friction fit. Flush Base Construction: Designed to print cleanly without complex supports for the bottom locking mechanism. Heavy-Duty Walls: Thickened sides with structural gussets engineered for shop environments. Front Branding: Embossed Milwaukee logo wrapping the front curve for a finished tool aesthetic. Drainage: Integrated center channel prevents liquid and debris buildup.
OptiFix — CD Diffraction Rig
OptiFix is a one-piece rigid alignment jig designed for CD diffraction experiments. It firmly holds a standard 120 mm CD in a vertical slot and aligns a 14 mm laser pointer on an exact perpendicular axis, ensuring a clean horizontal diffraction pattern. Features Absolute Alignment: Positions the laser center precisely 65 mm above the base, directly in line with the CD's center. Track Targeting: The laser axis is offset sideways to hit the data tracks 2.3 mm inward from the CD's outer edge, catching the vertical track lines to cast a horizontal pattern. Snap-in Towers: Two separate cradle towers grip the 14 mm laser via a narrow 12.5 mm top opening, eliminating the need for rubber bands. Stable Base: An expanded L-shaped footprint keeps the setup planted on the desk.
