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 Motorcycle Gas Cap
I lost my fuel cap during a night ride so I designed and 3D printed a new one. Designed in OpenSCAD with the threads.scad library by Dan Kirshner. Printed in PLA+. I wasn’t sure if the PLA would hold up against gasoline but so far, so good. My printed version is a little different design […]

3D Printed Zipper
My motorcycle jacket is well past its end of life but I keep it on support. The original metal zipper slider (aka car) started bending internally until finally it wouldn’t work any more. I replaced it with a 3D printed version. Modeled in FreeCAD. Printed in PLA+. I planned to print in something else but […]

Small Plastic Shelf Bracket
During moving some furniture we lost a bunch of these tiny brackets that insert into the sides of shelf cases. 3D print to the rescue. Modeled in FreeCAD. Printed in PLA+.

Outside Light Mounting Spike
Another 3D print I designed in FreeCAD and printed for someone else. These things break all the time because they’re pushed in to the ground and are fairly expensive to replace so 3D printing is a good option. Printed in PETG.

Sink Drain Stopper
3D printers are an endless source of usefulness. My ancient bathroom sink drain plug lifting mechanism broke such that it was always stopping the drain. I couldn’t leave the plug out because if you drop something in the sink, down the drain it goes. So I made a plastic version sized slightly different than the […]
