ShadowRam, in Under desk mount for Apple MacBook charger

Looks good!

aileron, in [with release hole] Zipper Pull using paperclip by HtXF

Stupid question; but since its a single stl, how exactly do you print it as two parts?

ShadowRam,

Two Options.

1 - Your slicer can split the STL into two parts and you print them at the same time, then glue them together.

2 - You print entire thing. Pause the print 1/2 way through, place the clip and resume the print.

ShadowRam, in Remaining Filament Tracking

Not really.

You can weigh it, and the slicer gives you an estimate of how much volume/mass is needed.

But it's not too difficult to pause a print. Unload what little you have left and reload a new roll then resume the print.

That's assuming you have another roll of the exact type/color filament you are using ready to go.

ShadowRam, in Cover for old beam central vacuum sockets

Nice,

Central vac's were pretty popular in the 90's. You don't see them that much anymore.

AspieEgg, in One-Handed Soldering Tool | Effortless Soldering With Only One Hand by RoboticWorx

I like it a lot. I always feel like I need a third hand when I’m working circuit boards.

I noticed that at the very beginning of the video, the plastic got too close to the iron and melted a bit. I wonder if you could cover the tip with foil tape to act as a sort of heat shield.

ShadowRam,

Kapton tape would be a good candidate

Ah yes, thermoplastics through a wall should be a great way to help fire spread from one room to the next.

CobraA1,

If you're worried about that, then Prusament PETG V0 is a good option.

MisterT, in Parametric hinge

Now that is brilliant. Would you share the files?

ShadowRam,

I'm confused,

It's a direct link to printables that hosts the files?

bonn2, in Parametric hinge

Are these published somewhere, or are they just a pet project for now? Either way they look awesome!

ShadowRam,

It's a link directly to where they are published?

bonn2,

Maybe I’m the crazy one, but there isn’t one in your original post. The image is hosted on media.kbin.social and there is no text or link of any kind anywhere else.

ShadowRam,

title is a link to printables

JustEnoughDucks,

I think for Lemmy users it doesn’t work. (Like me)

ShadowRam,

Ah, You are correct. Kbin and Lemmy still working out the kinks.

One of those hinges takes twenty screws. That seems like an awful lot. Is it for something specific?

ShadowRam,

I think they are just showing off the parametric nature of what could be done.

holycrap, in Parametric hinge

How strong are these?

ShadowRam,

It would depend entirely on the printer and material used.

maiskanzler, in Cord Wall Pass-through

Awesome idea!

thejevans, in IKEA Harbor Freight Parts Case Rail Adapters

Any particular reason you chose a non-open license for your design files?

ShadowRam,

I'm not the individual who created this item. I just shared it.

Nicely done. I like it when I get to pineapple-pen cheaper solutions together.

eltimablo, in Designed a Master Spool that is easy to print

You can't just go around calling yourself a master spool. You have to go through years of spool apprenticeship then serve as a journeyman spool before you can take the test to become a master spool.

Tolookah, in Cable Clip For 3M Comand Tab by KakeruNekobeya

What orientation would you print that in? Looks like it’s going to snap apart.

ShadowRam,

Not my design, but you are right. If I were to make this , I'd print it in the orientation shown but the bottom would be flat to give a better foundation for the print.

That said, I'd probably split this down the middle, and make each clip its own clip, and print the clip on its side.

That way you don't have to worry about overhangs and the print 'grains' would be in a better orientation for the spring like effect.

LastYearsPumpkin,

Might make more sense to print it right side down, so the layer lines go along the clips instead of across them.

Would be a pain in the ass for support building, but maybe print it as just one clip instead of two, and print two of them with a spacer to cover the command strip? Or maybe just a smaller one clip part and cut the command strip?
