Leveling the Elegoo Saturn 4 build plate
Tap, tap, is this thing on? I have far too many project posts languishing in the queue. Here is one. These are little washers that go on the screws of the Saturn 4 build plate in order to level it by pre-compressing the springs. The “automatic leveling” can’t adjust for lateral tilt and I’m not…

Printed battery cover for FrSky Taranis
I normally use a LiFe 3S for the radio and my last one lasted about 10 years before puffing so bad that I couldn’t use it any more. I needed a quick replacement and wanted to use 18650 cells but they won’t fit in the stock battery compartment. Enter the 3D printer once again to…

3D printed tip for Apple iPad Pencil clones
Replacement tip for an Apple iPad Pencil 1 clone. This will not fit a real Apple Pencil as it uses a different design and it may only fit some clones, I have no idea. This one can be tricky to print because it’s so small. Use the thinnest layer height your printer can do and…

3D printed feet for HP 8116A
These are OEM-style rear feet for the HP 8116A function generator. I printed the hole caps in a flexible but the original HP caps are hard plastic. Your choice. I recommend adding a modifier block to change the perimeters or infill to 100% around where the screws clamp down to provide strength. I may create…

3D Printed Flux Syringe Parts
Sometimes I find myself with an Amtech or similar flux syringe barrel but no plunger or hub/needle so I made my own. These parts fit a 10cc barrel. The plunger and hub are printed in eSun PLA+ and the seal is eSun Elastic 83A flexible. For the flexible I used 10% infill, 1 perimeter, 2…

3D Printed Ethernet Protective Sleeve/Boot and Strain Relief
When making your own Ethernet cables if it’s a cable that’s going to be moved around a lot and/or abused then it’s a good idea to protect the retainer tab and add some strain relief. This 3D printed part adds a boot or sleeve that protects the modular connector on the ends and adds cable…

3D-printed 4-in-3 HDD bay
Updated version 2: Fix the drive rail part STL. This is a 4-in-3 hard drive cage with cooling fan. It fits four 3.5″ drives in to three 5.25″ slots. It can be used inside a standard PC case or on its own with no case. I often need portable drive cages for moving drives around…

Feit SEC3000/CAM “bricked”
Recently had to repair a bricked Fiet security camera. If too long of a WPA password is used it will cause a buffer overflow and the camera will crash which results in an endless boot-loop. There doesn’t appear to be a way to recover from this condition without getting serial access or access to the…

Adding a serial header to the Wyzecam V2
I have been meaning to try the open-source Intergenic bootloader for years and only just got around to it. This bootloader allows 1080p mode when using Dafang-Hacks. When messing with the bootloader it’s a good idea to have the serial connection ready for debugging or recovery so I added a header that is easy to…
