As usual, the kids’ Christmas presents had been the highest priority for some time already before the holiday season started. I find it difficult to buy presents for the colleagues and family, unless you go with the safe options of a bottle of wine or chocolates. This year was different though as I had acquired…
Powerbank holder for my new video setup
I’m building a new video setup so I can make better videos while I work. One of the issues I had was the battery life of my camera: I could only film for 1.5h with one battery and then I would need to change it. To fix this problem, I designed a simple holder for…
Xtool D1 Pro 20W enclosure – Part 1
I decided that a laser cutter is a perfect addition to my workshop. The problem with laser cutters is that it generates smoke so I can’t just place it next to my 3D printer in the house. At the same time, it is pretty sensitive for dust, so my workshop is not really an optimal…
Triple Bunk Bed – Build
I made a design for a Triple Bunk Bed in January 2023. Since then my kids have been asking when the bed will be done as they really look forward to it. As the kids were growing out of their current smaller sized beds, I decided that it was time to get it over and…
Slat holders for Ikea LINDBÅDEN
While I was working on the Triple Bunk Bed project, I bought some bed slats from Ikea. I didn’t want to take a risk that one of the kids would kick the bed above and the slats would move and possibly fall down, so I modelled and 3D printed holders which will keep them in…
Wooden Name Plaques
I’m working on the triple bunk bed I designed nearly a year ago and I thought that it required some personal touch. I designed name plaques for the kids, made from two layers of 10-ply 5mm birch plywood. The rear plate has the design + the “holes” of the letters, and the front holds the…
Warning sign for the workshop door
I got a new toy. I still haven’t set it up in the workshop as the whole place is filled with loads of dust due to my current project. As a preparation though, I’ve made a warning sign for the door to prevent the family marching in on the wrong moment. Can you guess what…
Ninebot G30D II customisations
My son started in a school which is located to the center of the city. Usually my wife is taking and picking him up, but sometimes I need to do it as well. The first time I drove there with my car, it took me an hour to get there and another hour to get…
“Mesla” – an electric trike with two seats – Part 1
I’ve been thinking about building an electric trike for some time already, but I never pulled the trigger on buying the motor and other components as I couldn’t find a reasonable battery pack which didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Also, as the trike is meant for the kids, it would need to be…
AirTag holder for bag straps
The summer vacation period is here. Instead of building a lot of cool stuff, I spent my time travelling abroad to see both of my families. While I was on a ferry from Finland to Sweden, I came to think about the usual way AirTags are used; hide it and hope that it is difficult…
