I just got my Robinson Crusoe Collectors Edition boardgame. I’m in the process of making it even more fancy with all kinds of prints like custom heart tokens.
If you’re a boardgame enthusiast, a 3D printer is a must.
Please take your time to enjoy the modeling process! His birthday isn’t until late may, and I wouldn’t want to rush you. If you share it whenever it’s ready, I’ll be super happy, thanks.
Currently, I’m thinking about ways to make motion for a robotic cat toy that does not make (much) noise. I’ve used servos in the past but they are far too noisy.
I usually only print my own designs. So, I need to design
some better buttons for an enclosure that combines my soldering iron with my hot air station
a better tripod for my telescope
a dust collection system for a table saw
some mounts with a fan to dry wet shoes, gloves, and a helmet
a better 2nd monitor arm that extends over my bed
I’ve dreamt up a way I want to make an automated bicycle chain cleaning and lubricating machine that cleans and lubes each link pair, each set at a time slowly over the couple of hours and recycles the solution and extra lube, I just need to do the actual design work.
A lot of organization - tool organization for the garage, drawer organization for the kitchen and bathroom, wall mounts for things all over the house, some display shelves for lightweight things, crafting supply organization for my partner and also charging docks and headphone clips for VR headstrap.
I currently print some stands for some Lego spaceships. I also have over a TB of models from various Patreons that I support accumulated over the months. I also always find new ones I want to print, but rarely find the time to ACTUALLY print something, anything…
A little model engine, early sidevalve type, guy has quite a few variations, but the second gen single now has proper cam timing. which I am unreasonably excited by.
Replacement mouthpiece for a vintage flute that had a plastic one.
Flute pad hole punch aimer thingy so I can make cheap China pads into open-hole ones for not-so-great flutes without having to buy a bunch of open-hole ones (version 1 was already made and proved the idea, now it’s just to iterate).
E facilitator prototypes before I CNC them (still learning CNC and I don’t like it).
Flute airstream aimer clip-on thingy for older people who have lost their embochure due to dental operations and such. (after I get the hang of the replacement mouthpiece; this is probably the most difficult one, due to precise mouthpiece shape needed)
Model for manually engraving the right size & shape replacement piece out of bone, for a badly cracked teapot.
I’ve reached the point where i should just surrender my ender 5 plus and all the mods, just buy a bambu lab or something that actually works well from the factory.
I’ve had mine for 3 years, 3 years of headaches and modifying and it still doesn’t work right.
I tried printing something huge, turns out one cormer of the bed doesn’t warm up enough. It also has started having these uneven layers as if the belts aren’t at the proper tension.
It’s been 3 years of solving issue a and getting issue b, to solving b and getting c etc. Neverending maintenance and zero usability.
