3D Printing

A bit about the materials used in 3D printing:

  • PLA: This is a plastic made from plants. It is one of the easier materials to work with and comes in many colours and transparencies. When sanded or heated, it has a distinct “sweet” smell. It can become brittle over time, particularly when exposed to sunlight and the elements. PLA is not appropriate for extended or repeated exposure to water unless it has been sealed or coated with another material. It can be composted at some industrial composting facilities.
  • PETG: This is a plastic that is very similar to that used in soda and water bottles (PET), with an additive that gives it a bit more strength. Easy to work with (although not as easy as PLA), more flexible and impact-resistant than PLA, and generally a better choice for outdoor or direct-sunlight applications. As with water bottles, PETG is a good choice for use in situations where water may be present (although that doesn’t guarantee the print won’t leak).

With that out of the way…

Vases / Planters

I’ve found that I quite enjoy coming up with different designs and patterns for vases and other objects like this. These are all designed and printed by myself, and are available in different sizes and colours.

Dyson® cordless vacuum attachment adapter

My wife and I used to be central vac people but after we got a dog it became a chore to haul the hose out and put it away every day (and sometimes twice a day) during shedding season. We got a cordless Dyson and while the central vac gets used for really big jobs, the Dyson is what gets whipped out to give the house a quick once-over to pick up crumbs and fur. Between the central vac and all the Shop Vacs we’ve had over the years, we have a box of vacuum attachments that we couldn’t use. Seemed like a waste for them to sit around so I designed this.

It works with Dyson cordless v7/8/10/11 vacuums and allows you to use simple unpowered, lightweight attachments from other vacuums like Bissell, Shop Vac, etc. For more information about compatibility with the various Dyson models, take a look at this site.

Tool Battery Terminal Guards & Mounts

A near-disaster with a few loose drill bits and a lithium-ion battery in my toolbag were what inspired me to make these guards. They slide on and click into place, protecting the battery terminals from damage and accidental short-circuits.

There is also a version of each that is a little beefier and has holes for wood, drywall, or deck screws that you can use if you want to mount your spare batteries on the wall, under a shelf, or in other places that will keep them safe without taking up space on your workbench.

Currently for DeWalt® 20V and Makita® 18VLi-ion batteries

Novelty Items

Flexi Rex

Almost as famous as the Benchy model that people use to test their printers, the Flexi Rex with improved links by DrLex is another great way to test your printer AND get something that’s cute and pretty neat, too.

Note: I did not design this product, and every Rex should come with an attribution card with the following text (please let me know if a Rex I sold is missing the card and I will provide one):

Big Rex

Twice the size, eight times the awesomeness! This is the Flexi Rex printed at 200% scaling. If you want to intimidate a Flexi Rex, a Big Rex is the way to do it.

Note: I did not design this product, and every Rex should come with an attribution card with the following text (please let me know if a Rex I sold is missing the card and I will provide one):

Giant Rex

What’s bigger than a Big Rex?

A GIANT REX!

At 325% scaling, this brute takes almost 18 hours to print! But it’s worth it, though – it’s big enough to carry a regular Rex around in it’s mouth!

Note: I did not design this product, and every Rex should come with an attribution card with the following text (please let me know if a Rex I sold is missing the card and I will provide one):

Flexi Octopus

Like the Flexi Rex, the Octopus was designed by DrLex and is a neat little print that can drape its jointed arms over monitor bezels, desk edges, book spines… pretty much anything.

Note: I did not design this product, and every Octopus should come with an attribution card with the following text (please let me know if an Octopus I sold is missing the card and I will provide one):

Dishwasher Clean / Dirty Indicator

It sticks to your dishwasher!

If you turn it one way, it says “DIRTY”!

If you turn it the other way, it says “CLEAN”!

Sometimes simplicity really does fit the bill.

Marker / Pen / Pencil Organizers

Holds 54 Tombow® / Sharpie® / other markers or pens

Better and more organized than just tossing them all on the table! My wife says it’s sturdy and stable and it makes it easier to find the marker she’s looking for.

Outdoors

Aluminum Can Cover

Ever had a fly (or worse, a wasp) make its way unnoticed into your canned drink? Here’s a very simple cover that lightly slips into place on many common 355ml aluminum pop or beer cans to keep unwanted critters out. It’s durable enough to withstand being carried around in a pocket, or you can use the hole in the tab to hang it from a lanyard or clip if you prefer.

Note: This is not intended to be a lid for storing beverages or preventing them from spilling. Not dishwasher safe, hand-wash only.

Electronics

Binary Clock BCLK-01

This is a clock that shows the time in binary, broken down into three columns: hours, minutes, and seconds. The clock chip is a DS3231-series, which are much more accurate timekeepers than the more common DS1307, and it uses a CR2032 coin battery as a backup in the event of power loss*. Plug it in (requires a 5V power supply and a USB-C cable), set the time, and amaze the computer and electronics geeks in your life! Has a smoked acrylic cover on the front.

* Note: if the rightmost column flashes red when the clock is plugged in, the backup battery has failed and the time the clock shows will not be correct. You can access the battery to replace it by removing the back.

Blinking Pendant

This is a small pendant with two high-efficiency LEDs that blinks. It’s not the most elegant or brightest, but it will run for weeks on a single CR2032 battery. Hold the button to turn it on, hold it again to turn it off. Comes with a ring so you can use it as a zipper pull, marker for tent lines, or even hang it from your dog’s collar or harness for more visibility at night.

Laser / CNC / Etching

Garden / Plant Markers

These are made from scrap hardwood that was destined for the landfill. I ran it through a bandsaw, lasered common plant names onto them, gave them a light sanding and two thin coats of water-based polyurethane for longevity. Size: approximately 20mm wide by 80-120mm tall. A 1/8″ hole in the bottom is perfect for many bamboo skewers. The following are currently available:

  • Asparagus
  • Bacon
  • Basil
  • Beans
  • Beans G.
  • Beans Y.
  • Beets
  • Cabbage
  • Carrots
  • Celery

Fibonacci Clock

Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who released a book in 1202 that introduced many mathematical concepts to Europe from India, some of which had been known to Indian mathematicians for centuries. One of the concepts he wrote about is known as the Fibonacci sequence, in which each number in the sequence is the sum of the two previous numbers:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, …

When plotted as a spiral, the sequence creates an approximation of a logarithmic spiral – a shape that’s common in nature from the arms of spiral galaxies, to nautilus shells, to sunflowers.

This clock replaces the traditional hour hand and markings with a Fibonacci spiral that shows the hour by sweeping upwards (from 1:00 to 6:00) and downwards (from 7:00 to 12:00) from the markings as the spiral turns. Minutes are shown by the smaller hand in the middle.

Available in different colours and materials. If you like this item but prefer it had an inscription or a particular face, font, colour, material, etc… please ask!
