I found the files for this on thingiverse. I printed it using white, black, and red PLA. I fashioned a spring out of a thin paperclip and worked it into the back hinge. This was a pain and broke the hinge which I had to reprint after glueing failed. I then used hot glue to glue the white and red shells to the black core. After that I attached the button to the front with a little bit more hot glue to give it enough give so that when closed it latches and when pressed it pops open. I also printed a stand, though it does tend to roll away if given a small push.
I don't remember where I saw this, but I thought it would be fun. I enjoy making jack-o-lanterns and also enjoy watermelon in the summer. It wasn't too difficult to make. The tricky part was removing the fruit. I sliced it in half and then did some crosshatching. I'm not actually sure how to describe this in text. Basically I did the horizontal slices and then angled the vertical slices. After which I was able to dump out a good bit of the fruit and pick out the rest with a knife, spoon, or fork. Once it was hollow I cut the face just like any other jack-o-lantern. I put it on the porch for a few days. I imagine the package delivery folks had a good laugh.
This is the third iteration of homemade forge. I used a steel trash or ash can from Home Depot or Lowes. The inside is lined with ceramic wool order from amazon. A friend made the burners. They're fed from a single propane tank. The gas is pushed through a small cylinder with a hole in it. These things have names which I can't actuall remember. The T-section pulls air in from the side and combines with the propane. It then ignites once it hits the heat in the forge. During our initial test run we pushed it to its limits. It melted a crucible of aluminum and then copper. Afterwards we realized that it melted the brick that the crucibles were on and the iron flairs on the burners.
This is a sharpener for knives. I designed and printed the base that the stone is set in. There is a hole in the middle for popping out the stone. The two sides of the stone have different grits. There is also an indentation on the bottom for rubber feet to be glued on.

I needed some form of storage for my crokinole discs so I designed these. Its pretty simple. Just a hollow cylinder with openings in the sides for moving the discs within if they get stuck.

While moving some furniture I broke a monitor mount. Replacement parts were unavailable so I designed this. Its built in three parts. One piece connects to the monitor and the other 2 wrap around the ball mount. A bit of grip is applied into the hollow. The nuts tighten and hold the whole thing in place. I haven't bothered to put the files on Thingiverse.
