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…
Sauna thermometer – Living room module
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.
