I’m continuing my mission of making my little workspace as user friendly as possible. The goal is to have all the most used tools easily accessible from my usual working position. This time I re-used my WD-40 holder design and made a blowtorch holder. 3d printed and with three magnets to keep the can in…
Magnetic Roloc holder
With a small workshop, little improvements are very noticeable. With these it’s much easier to switch disks and everything is within my arms reach. I designed two versions; one for 2” discs and another longer one for 3” discs.

Microgolf
What do you do you when your kid has to stay at home due to the flu and you need to work? You quickly design something that he watch being printed and then play with it! On today’s menu was Marble Minigolf. You can find the files for this model here: https://www.printables.com/model/288280-desktop-marble-minigolf
Riot Mamas – logo
My brother and his wife has a band called “Riot Mamas”. Me and my family were going to visit them and I decided to make a little gift to take with: a giant fridge magnet! A simple two colour design with embedded magnets.
3D printed padlock
This was created for my kids to play with, but in reality it was more of a design challenge than anything else. The lock is “fully functional” in the sense that it can only be opened with the key that belongs to it. The only hardware you need is a spring from a pen, all…
Stand for an extra ball for a CST trackball
I have an extra ball for my CST trackball on my desk, and I decided to design a nice 3D printed stand for it. It uses a standard skateboard bearing and you can make the ball spin for a very long time (and by that annoy your colleagues endlessly). You can find the files for…
WD40 can holder
Yesterday I had the final straw when I was going to clean my welding table and the damn WD-40 can was nowhere to be found again. I went back to the house and after an hour this contraption had been designed. It took 13 hours to print and now hopefully I remember to put the…
Magnetic Leatherman Surge bit holder
I got tired of the Leatherman bits, and decided to design a suitable holder for standard sized bits. Requires 8x 6mm wide and 3mm thick magnets.
Mood-O-Meter
The Mood-o-meter has three operating modes: Hardware: How does it communicated with a PC? It doesn’t. The PC is simply sending serial signals to it which the Arduino interprets and changes the mood/status accordingly. The “PC controlled mode” signal is sent through a powershell script, which in turn has a simple winforms program as an UI….
The Cat Caller
We have two cats who like to go explore outside but are still living with us in the house. We used to use a plastic container filled with cat treats to call them back inside, until I remembered that I’m a specialist on designing useless objects for 3D printing. That’s when the Cat Caller was…
