The dual level sauna thermometer worked like a dream, so now was the time to make the slave module for my living room. The design was pretty straightforward as I was able to re-use a lot of the code, and the enclosure just needed a slightly different design so it was able to stand on…
Dual level sauna thermometer with wireless connectivity
I have always wondered what the actual temperature difference is between the head and feet level of my sauna. I’ve also been considering to alter the ventilation to make this difference lower, but how would I know if I actually improve it? The answer is a dual level thermometer! It is of course not enough…
Band File band holder
Milwaukee finally released an M12 band file. I had been waiting for it for ages, so I of course bought one straight away when it was available. As I had already made magnetic holders for the M12 angled straight grinder, it was a no-brainer for me to model a nice holder for the band file…
F1 style go-kart steering wheel
For my next project which is an electric go-kart, I needed to come up with a way to mount all the electronic controls somehow. I decided to get a go-kart steering wheel and design a F1 inspired inlay that fits to the centre of it. Designing it was much more tricky than I thought as…
Babar – The water spouting elephant
A stomach flu visited the family this week. When I was bathing the youngest one for the third time in the middle of the night, I realised that we only have one million bath toys and we needed more! I started thinking about water pressure, and how I would be able to make some sort…
Silfer Works keyring
I had some stickers made with my logo. Why, you ask? Because it’s fun! I decided to turn it into a keychain that can hang from my computer bag. It is a very simple design; I just traced the sticker into a backing plate with low walls to frame and protect the sticker.
Project with the kids – Stone Talus from Zelda
My 6 years old son has been testing the waters for gaming by playing “Zelda – Breath of the Wild” together with me. Yesterday when he came home from the kindergarten, he showed me how he had made a Stone Talus (a.k.a Stone Monster) from thick paper. He wanted to have some of the small…
Welcome to Silfer Works!
This is where I document my personal projects. I’m mostly posting about metalworking, electronics, laser cutting, 3D printing and modelling. I started to take photos and document my projects around 2019, but I’ve also posted about some older projects that I found from my archives. Everything I post here is designed and built by me!…
Modular wireless phone charger
Do you have a habit of placing your phone on front of your keyboard while you work? Are you annoyed that the facial recognition doesn’t recognise you due to the too shallow angle? Well, this is the version 2 fix for it! This design was originally made by me over a year ago, but now…
Companion firewood holder
I made a hanging firewood holder some time back for my sauna, and I’ve started the bad habit of taking the firewood inside in small batches and placing it on the floor. This had to be corrected as I could easily stumble over them while moving inside. You can find the build log for the…
