A black plastic bowl with cat eats on it, green eyes, white whiskers, and a white pattern along it's bottom, with two white spots on the front where front paws might be.

The back of black plastic bowl with a spiral tail cut out, and a white pattern along it's bottom, with two white spots on the back where back paws might be.

I have not been posting as much as I had intended. Here's a fun cat yarn bowl that was a Christmas gift. I didn't design any of it, but I used the bambu software to paint it to match the recipient's actual pet cat.

A black serrated plastic blade next to a thumb.

I'll admit, this plastic box cutter/opener isn't as effective as a knife or scissors. A good lesson from this is considering the purpose and application of practical prints, and the best way to use the materials that can be printed.

Here's a fun one: D&D dice box that opens by turning the outer ring. The mechanism was tight, so I designed the tool on the left to get leverage to open and close it for several hours before it was loose enough to turn easily by hand. I them modified the tool to make a stand.

Third print: this adjusting tablet stand. It took three prints to make all the parts, and was easy to assemble. I'm still using models from makerworld at this point, because they have great models for a lot of what I'm going to print.

A green plastic boat on the back of a hand in front of an empty ornate frame on a wall. A stuffed toy frog sits on top of the frame.

First print: the calibration boat, Benchy! Minor imperfections, meeting our needs for now.
