A blog of a variety of projects
Projects that involve 3D printing at some point.
Our son loves unplugging electrical cables, and there is an outlet right next to his crib where the baby monitor is plugged in. There are outlet box covers available at the hardware store that keep people and critters from messing with the plugs, but I had an idea for something…
I wasn’t sure where to put this design review, so it has been sitting here a long time since I wrote it. Hopefully this is still useful. It’s possible the company has already fixed these issues in the intervening years, but I fixed my razor instead of buying a new one, so I wouldn’t know. After my razor broke, I replaced the screw tightening mechanism with an over-center latch and I’ve been pretty happy with it.
A few days ago I got a GBxCart from InsideGadgets. It is a nice little device that I have used to rip all of my old Gameboy games so I can play them in an emulator. It came as a bare PCB, but was designed to match the footprint of…
In my office, I like to have a cup of pens and pencils sitting around at all times. All the pens go in one bucket and any more organization is beyond me. A long time ago I decided I wanted to put my mug of pens somewhere off the desk,…
I love my headphones, which is good, because I wear them like 10 hours a day. On my old chair, I would just hang my headphones over the back because the back of the chair was about as thick as my head. Recently, I got a new JÄRVFJÄLLET office chair…
I finally organized the wires that were all over my desk with a customized USB switch and a wire shelf inside my desk.
We have a train-station-style Ikea wall clock that I really like, but it chews through batteries pretty fast, at least on one side. There are actually 2 clock mechanisms back-to-back, so they were mercifully designed to be smooth and not clicky. On the other hand, that means it doesn’t fail…
This is a simple little shim to help mount a door hinge slightly further away from the door frame stop moulding.
Since we have moved in to our new house, I have been putting off finishing the kitchen cabinets with trim. I finally got around to working on it and finished the floor molding. First, there is a gap between the pantry and the wall. The wall wasn’t plumb, so we…
Now with additional food safety! Fuiyoh!
