As you might have already figured out, this is a kids’ toy and not an actual teapot. It uses the same design as the Babar – The water spouting elephant, but the teapot has much larger volume and also has some small teacups to go with it.
Leather Hair Barrette
Yet another valentine’s day is here. I decided to make something special for my wife and only use scraps I had in the workshop. I had a nice piece of very thick leather I got when I ordered a custom apron for metalworking. It is somewhere around 3-4mm thick. For the wooden stick I used…
Stackable magnetic soldering clamp
I got tired of my metal soldering clamps destroying the small wires I use on my projects, so I decided to model a simple magnetic version that fits my needs better. These are stackable for holding multiple wires simultaneously, and incorporate a print-in-place hinge to make the assembly simpler. I published the model here: https://www.printables.com/model/749606-stackable-magnetic-soldering-clamp
Case for biometric security keys
We are using security keys for authentication at work, and I wanted to make cases for the most important keys we have. I laser engraved and cut the window for the case out of acrylic, and embedded it into a 3D printed case. Worked surprisingly well on the first try. The key used here is…
Laser engraved Christmas presents
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
