Got the Mrs. a new nerd car. Oddly, a sunglasses holder was not among the bells and whistles it came equipped with. So I made one out of ABS, lined it with some "felt" padding, and stuck it on with double side high temp 3M tape.

My ABS kung-fu needs work. This took 3 tries fiddling with temp and speed settings, even using the ranges on the spool label.

One of my other hobbies is painting, and I do paint pours quite a bit. I printed some split cups to use for pouring. Each section of the cup is a different color (or colors) and then you pour them together to get the flowy, organic patterns typical of acrylic pours. Then, you pour a nice single malt, grab a brush, and turn it into a picture of the universe.

Well, if you're me you do anyway.

Here's a wet pour, and then the finished piece I painted from it that I did for my Mom (she's a trekkie)

A few years ago I bought this razor:

I like it (adjustable, etc.) for a great shave, but the handle is a bit smooth / slippery.

I've seen a bunch of videos like the one below for shrink fitting parts together, so I decided to try it here!

I printed a test fit sleeve that was kinda tight. I then put the metal razor in the freezer and warmed up the full-printed sleeve and slid it on. Seemed to work well since the sleeve went on relatively easily and is now on SUPER tight!

I needed some door latch / catch / clip / holders for my shed door, so I found a model already designed in the OnShape library and modified it to accept an m4 bold down the middle for added strength!

The family cat is SUPER fluffy and full of hair, so, we bought her one of these: https://amzn.to/4dvKMfE

... and she LOVES it!

... problem is, it gets FULL of her hair and it's a pain to pull the hair from the rubbery bristles!

So, I took a few measurements, went into OnShape and whipped up a model:

I printed it out and gave it a test... and it worked PERFECTLY!!!

SO SATISFYING!!!!

Being able to do basic design + 3D printing is the absolute best combo!
