Deck Access Support Bracket and grommet. For composite deck boards; create an access point and cover with a deck board.

Safety comment: this bracket is not designed to be load bearing (i.e. for someone to stand on this access point). If you need the access point to hold weight you will either need to reinforce the cover/bracket or use a different solution for your needs.

I wanted to create an access point for the spigot (faucet) under my deck and use the deck board as a cover plate. I designed the bracket, adjustable slider, and end piece in Tinkercad. The design is specific to the composite deck boards on my deck, which have three main grooves underneath. The bracket can likely be held in place well enough with either the slider or end piece alone, but I am using both as shown in the pictures. The fit of the end piece was snug, so I decided not to glue it in place. The slider provides some flexibility to more firmly adjust how much of the bracket is extended out for the deck board cover to rest on. I know these pieces will expand/contract with weather, so I will check it a few times during the year in different seasons. I live in the Midwest of the USA, so it will experience summer heat, winter freeze, humidity, and dryness. I used PETG for my prints and printed them on a X1-Carbon.

For the deck board being used as the cover plate, I cut a 1-inch (25mm) diameter hole to be able to pull the board up when accessing the spigot. I remixed a grommet design from Thingiverse to fit (see license txt file for original file info). I made two versions, one with the original flat cap and one with a more rounded cap (which is the one I printed and is shown in the pictures).

I remixed my Ender 5 Wyze Pan Cam front bar mount to be able to mount the camera on a wall instead. I have a Pan Cam v2, but I think this model should work with the Pan Cam v3 too.

Deploy your boat to guard your downspout and direct water away from the foundation to your #garden or yard. A familiar friend of 3D printers, this boat can help direct water away from the foundation of your home or building as it comes out the gutter downspouts. The boat deck is angled to expel water through the porthole openings in the bow. The model as designed is 254mm x 175mm x 119mm.

Watch the boat in action with this YouTube video:  https://youtu.be/aL9a34dyeJc

Pictured print of model was made with PLA at 0.28mm layer height with 20% infill.

This design was inspired by the 3DBenchy by CreativeTools, but this is an original design and not a remix.

American flag-inspired bee house designed to use replaceable cardboard tubes. For solitary bees, such as mason, orchard, leaf-cutter, or carpenter, etc. Great add to your #garden. House can be mounted with a 2.5in or larger nail or screw. House has a sloped roof design that extends to overhang the tubes for rain protection. No supports needed if printed with back of house flat on print bed. Recommend 20% infill.

House was designed for bee cardboard insert tubes 135mm long and 8mm diameter. Up to 111 tubes can fit in the model. Space can be used in the ‘stripes’ of the model to fill with bee nest building material instead of tubes. Recommend the Rivajam cardboard replacement tubes, available direct or through Amazon. Important to get the replacement tubes, not the guard tubes (the guard tubes are larger). This model provides the guarding needed for the replacement tubes. I have no affiliation with Rivajam. Link to tubes: https://rivajam.com/product/rivajam-bee-nesting-paper-inserts-125-piece-pack-of-paper-inserts/

Simple bait holder plate for live animal cage traps (like Havahart brand). I was using a simple plastic lid for bait, but squirrels figured out how to just steal the lid with the bait and not trigger the trap mechanism. This bait holder can be fixed to the cage with a zip-tie so it can't be stolen out of the cage.

Reverse mounting brackets for Gulfcoast Robotics (GCR) LED light bar on the Ender 5/5-Pro/5-Plus front bar. I needed the power cable for the light bar to be on the right side of my Ender 5-Plus, so I remixed the Ender 5 mounting brackets from GCR to be able to invert the light bar itself for mounting. Requires two M5x8 screws and two M5 hex nuts in addition to the mounting bolts supplied with the light bar.

Ender 5/5-Pro/5-Plus front bar mount for the Wyze Cam Pan. I remixed the tilt block by EndesmRads into a mount for my Ender 5 Plus. I like using the cam pan to view my second printer without needing a second camera, and I can pan around the room too. The mounting holes use M5 screws. I used M5x16 with t-nuts and washers to secure it. Printing details are below. Design is for the cable to route on the right side, but you can easily mirror the STL in your slicer if you'd like a left side version.

Printed vertical (with the surface that mounts to the front bar flat to the buildplate).
Use tree supports for 75 degree overhang angles touching buildplate.
Wall line count 5.
0.2mm layer height.
50% infill.

DNA double helix with a X-ray diffraction-inspired base in honor of Rosalind Franklin.

Rosalind Franklin's research as a chemist and X-ray crystallographer was central to understanding of the structure of DNA's double helix. The base of this model is a design inspired by the famous x-ray diffraction image of the DNA double helix.
