I decided to build an enclosure which has a separate dry space for feeding the filament, and has an automatic fire extinguisher which will fill the printer space with powder if it reaches 79 celsius (174 in freedom units). The filament is fed through the floor of the upper cabinet via PTFE tubes directly to…
Jewellery Box
This is a jewelry box I created which features a flower I used for a pencil case earlier. A fantastic gift for family and friends. The box uses magnets as hinges and the flower is glued on to the lid. This version is meant for stud earrings and has a fine grid separator inside.
Aircon remote holder for the workshop
I always use the timer on the aircon unit in my workshop. I also always lose the remote when I want to activate the timer and spend a lot of time trying to find where I placed it. This remote holder has an opening for the sliding cover. It means that you can push the…
Project with the kids – Man of Steel
My son wanted a metal man. I took that as a challenge and an excellent opportunity for practising some small scale TIG welding. The man has an interchangeable hat/helmet, and I even added a custom 3D printed magnetic sword. It was a perfect partner for a wooden dinosaur we made together some time later.
Metal Twister
I got tired of making twists manually. Even though the twists looked good most of the time, it was very difficult to keep the bar straight if the twist was on a longer area. With this I’m able to do up to 1 meter long twists and they turn out perfect every single time. Build…
Fence Extension
We had a gap between our fence and hedge which became a problem when our 1.5 years old daughter figured out that she can fit through it. I spent an afternoon in the workshop to manufacture a bolt-on extension for it. I drilled holes, which I threaded, on the fence post so the extension can…
Kittenproof subwoofer
Our family got two very small new members. As it usually goes with little kids, you start realising that a lot of things in your house are dangerous for them. I realised that I had an incredible deathtrap right next to our TV; the subwoofer. The kittens could climb inside through the hole on the…
3D printed handle replacement for my magnetic drill
I got tired of having the handle of the drill on the way so I designed and 3D printed a replacement part. The drill is a beast, so I decided to add an emergency stop as well in case it decides to consume my arm.
Filler and electrode holder for TIG welding
I got tired of not being able to pick up the filler from the table with my gloves on, so I made a holder for it. While I was at it I added also a place for both old and new electrodes. I can also store many filler wires on the center so I don’t…
New welding table and adapting my garage for metalworking
I had been planning to adapt my garage for metalworking for some time already, and finally I got lucky and found a used tabletop. A small fabrication company was selling it and they had used it as a basic welding table already earlier, so it had the four legs welded on already. So that was…
