I'll get them up on Matchstick.Works at some point.
Reality is that I wanted to get these listed last week, but life...has other ideas :)

Lego F1 Speed Champions cars hanging on the wall reminiscent of the F1 starting grid
I've had a couple people ask about purchasing the brackets I designed for the Lego F1 Speed Champions cars (which will still be listed on Printables), which is enough of a reason to just slap an Etsy listing for them.

I had been using a modular chainmail design for my "last meter" 3D prints, but they're just a little too fiddly to use. I found some Last Meter blocks, but they were a little too loose, so I spent my NYE redesigning the blocks and just uploaded a remix!

I think what I struggle with is that the colors/designs can never be consistent. So I just offer them and have requests for the color they want? It's not as easy to do on demand as my regular printed stuff, so I can't just...do what a buyer wants
I've been making these bowls from scrap 3d prints/purge lines/failed prints for a while now. I'm starting to consider putting them up on my Etsy shop.
Would anyone be interested?
Get yours here! (Thumbnail picture is a little busted for now)

The Benchy Wall groweth
Yo whaddup! We've got a new remix!
I took the base design and added a small pocket to it where you can add your own magsafe (er...pixelsnap) magnets in the middle of the print. It works mostly okay, about as well as a 3d printed phone case usually does.

three 3d printed wireless phone charging stands in white, blue, and black. The black stand has a Pixelsnap charger affixed in place

Just dropped a new product!
The Pixel 10 and the Pixelsnap charger were delivered on Thursday, I started the design on Friday and finished it on Saturday night! A few pictures later and we're ready to release it to the world!

Things are happening! :)
Maybe something that adds a little more heft but still meshes well with the charging "pill" design?
It sucks that Google doesn't release design package details like Apple does for designing accessories, especially when that pill is going to have some annoying Class A surfaces to measure...
Bummer. Looks like the Gen 4 Pixel Watch won't have great support for aftermarket charging stands.
Unless I design a stand stand? Feels wasteful though...

Well, the poker chip sized design wasn't flowing very well and then the ram rod got stuck and the bolt holding it in place actually snapped. So it's out of commission until I get Injekto 3 up and running
Might really need a better compressor than the free dumpy Harbor Freight one I currently have
I think today I'll work on a poker chip-sized redesign. One more tool print in the eco-resin to test. Then we'll use the fancy heat resistant resin for the "final" tool!
I am pretty biased, but mirrored numpads are sick. 100% with a southpaw numpad is my ideal arrangement

I decided to expand out my design process thread a little bit.

Quick thread on the design process of this little thingy
What do you think, more of this?
Another version of the clip to be printed in a vertical orientation, note the oblong pocket shape that allows proper overhangs when being printed
Extrusion profile of the vertical version of the clip. Showing a lower profile for holding the FPC in the channel
I had another variant that was intended to print long way up (vertical, I called it) that was aimed at making it a little more low profile, but I didn't want to fiddle with the slot sizing. The oblong shape for the magnet pockets is kinda fun though.
The final model from a proper isometric view
The final design from an isometric bottom view showing off bottom chamfers
That's really about it. Slap a couple layers of chamfers (0.4-0.6mm in this case), round the perpendicular corners for the aesthetics, throw it at the printer.
I did another variant that used 6x2 magnet, but bed adhesion was poor since everything scaled around the magnet size itself.
A bottom view of the extruded cad from the previous post. Showing the pocket where the magnet would live for mounting the clips
The magnet pocket was pretty simple. I could've designed it tighter for more of a press-fit, but opted to keep it wide and rely on CA glue.
This pocket will be facing down, so the "ceiling" will have an overhang. It's only an 8mm diameter magnet, so this should be an easy bridge.
This is the profile sketch of the printed design. The dashed lines are there to reference the item the print would be holding. Solid lines to be extruded. A small gap on either side of the flex PCB ensure you're not going to damage it on installation and the vertical ramps (at 40deg angles) allow it to be printed standing up as shown. There was a balance of making sure it didn't block the light from the COB bead but enough meat to ensure it was holding on the FPC well enough. This took a couple iterations.
I looked around a fair bit for something similar and was surprised to come up dry.
So, for this design you give a little room to the measurements you take. From there, you can design to how you think you're going to orient the print and the layer height you'd want to use.

A couple design projects this weekend, but I'm still working on the second.
This one is a nice, easy little print. A magnetic mount for an 8mm wide LED strip. I needed it to mount some lights into a 3d printer enclosure at work.
