At work we have these phones that sit plugged in all day and run stuff. I got tired of having 6 phones scattered on my desk and wanted to organize them. So I designed and printed this little tower for them.

Each level is stackable so you can make it as tall as you want. The phones sit in little trays that make it easy for them to slide in and out. And on the side there’s fans to blow air over the phones and keep them cool. I recently added air filters but apparently I didn’t take any pictures of it yet.

That's neat. I'm curious about what all the phones are running?

Not OP, but usually you use this for automated tests when you develop mobile apps

The one I had designed for integrating 12V power connections in my LEGO builds. I designed two 2x2 bricks with openings to receive a male and female connector on one side and two holes for the wires on the other. I integrate them into my models to have a 12V power grid across all my modules.

This sounds great...

Then I remember Lego tolerance points and the calibration needed. Damn.

[–] TheRealKuni@midwest.social 0 points 1 year ago

You don’t need Lego-level tolerances to at least function with Lego. Look at MegaConstrux (formerly MegaBloks). They’re garbage on tolerances, but they mostly work fine.

I’ve successfully printed 3/4 scale Lego-style bricks to work with a 3/4 scale brick set I have, and using a 0.2mm nozzle they came out great. I can only assume that at full scale they would work just as well.

Probably my Julius Caesar pen holder

Honestly, it may be mine, too. I teach history and love having that on my desk. It's a shame how few teachers got it. But I love the light bulb moment when my students identify who it is when we go through Roman history.

My favourite moment was a visiting kindie kid playing with the pens, really in awe at the whole idea of it being printed. They took a pen out and put it back in, and I made a squishing sound, and they looked at me and said, "That's pretty serious."

I have a 3D printed chess set that I love using.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is on my todo list

[–] SMillerNL@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Playing chess? Or printing a set?

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Oh no... Why did I see this??
