This device holds a sponge stationary in the overflow hole (22mm round) of our sink so I a one armed person can wash my grubbys (hands alternate). Looks like it will work well with initial tests, true test will come when i get greasy gross after working in the shop. as always all adaptive files are free I just ask you don't profit from my work. I have added the freecad file so you can modify as needed to fit your sink. here's the video that shows the process and how it works. https://youtu.be/pjZQTbdHAOw

A few days before (posting the files) on instagram saw something like this (clip in build and use video) https://youtu.be/2Wq_UWXgL0c someone made a one handed nail clipper attachment thing. Needing this in my life and not being able to find the files or who to contact to get them, I reverse engineered it from the 5 seconds its on screen. The results work well enough to post and I will add any updates as they are made but having run out of nails to test it with so,,, Enjoy.

i find zippers vary difficult with one hand. kept observing that i would use my fingers to push the bottom of the coat down and pull the zip up with index and thumb. a better grip for fingers to push on would be helpful so after some thinking and fiddling a wedge shaped "button" was found to be helpful. i need to put a second wedge on the other side of the zipper to increase grip.

Leg Lamp made from R2D2 head and C3PO leg remixed from files found through thangs search. (couldn't find the files I remixed from will add links when/ if I find them again (there are so many droid files available)) I designed a holder for LED candelabra bulbs that also holds the shade up with a 5mm hole in the top to screw the shade on. there are 2 shades one that has holes that fit some parts that can pass light (looks awesome) and one that doesn't pass light. all the transparent part files are also available. A .25"x20 bolt or whatever you can make work needs to be epoxied inside the shade and the transparent parts, the shade holder needs to be epoxied to the top of the leg. The leg also needs to be epoxied to a heavy base (i'm going with a Endor look with the hedge round) theirs a template to help align the leg to base with 3mm dowel. Use a LED bulb to reduce the likelihood of heat damaging the printed parts.

Got my grubbys on a west German PeliKan M150 fountain pen. But it was Busted the plastic Nut thing that draws the plunger/ ink into the pen was nonfunctional. Some CAD, Printer cleaning of crusty ink time later it works again. I Think this will fit many peliKan pens. The walls on this are <1mm so highly recommend (as i did) print in SLA VS FDM.

Using a laser tool during daylight can be a challenge to say the least the little red dot just disappears when in the sun and at a range much more than a small (4m) tape can handle. Because one of my weekend jobs is home energy auditing we regularly measure 10-30m in full sun and this often requires one of use to stand at one corner of the house with a clipboard (target) while the other does their best not to blind them while trying to find the clipboard with the tiny red dot to get the measurement. I often try to sight down the side of the tool, this inspired this simple set of adjustable sites that works quite well. 

This designed around the Bosch tool to use the tripod mount to hold it in place. 

The front site and hole it fits in are both 10mm so you may need to scale the front site to fit snugly but still be adjustable.

PETG probably wont melt in most work or transport environments.

I needed a way to hold my sharpies i use to keep track of how many times I used my masks. This is what I came up with. Used double sided tape to stick it to my dash. Found it a great place to hang my mask to. 
If putting in a car print in material that can withstand the heat. 100% scale is snug on caps 90% should be snug on body (have not tested scaling).

This is a under side of shelf improvement of the previous cap removing assistive device for prescription bottles. This fits the human proof lids from Dillons (Kroger) and CVS lids and probably more. Works with both large and small cap sizes. counter sunk holes for use with sheet-rock screws (or whatever). I have found it is much easier for my needs with one damaged arm (I have one arm and its worn out).

This case fits (snaps) over the cheap case that came with the galaxy s10e. some times we all need to reference our copy of the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.  
this case and its iterations have saved my phone from a few falls onto concrete from about 2m (your results may vary). recommend printing in PETG because its less prone to shattering.

The temperature control knob on my incubator was just a ~6mm stick and was hard to control. this design just presses onto the ~6mm shaft using a tapered internal fit. Is now much easier to adjust temperature accurately.

Got myself a Double edged razor sample pack and wanted something to keep the blades organised during the many test shaves to come. Printed in silk and the stringing caused some of the slots to not let the blade all the way down.

Our tiny dinosaur egg incubator was running way to dry. A quick trip to tinkercad (because it had a premade egg model) resulted in this wonderful object that, once stuffed with a paper towel and dipped in water helps keep humidity up much better then the water pans. They are used in a incubator that has an automatic turner hence the egg shape. the other file is to hold the thermometer up higher.

I have no idea how to best help the people of Ukraine. Right now I can wear my support for the world to see (and bleed).
This is designed for the indents to be filled with paint or resin. Print on long edge and epoxy filament into the holes that cross the layer lines to help reinforce the buckle. Print a few layers and test to see if the filament reinforcement will fit scale as needed. 
Will be painting in blue and yellow in support of Ukraine and donating blood (because that's what i can do). Please consider donating any way you can. Some good options
