Cat Deterrent model I designed since one cat dive bombs from door edge semi frequently. At some point will probably release the 3d models for it. Designed it in Alibre Design Pro.
I am trying to improve my lithophane business card. Only one Crash so far…
@mibzman Mostly temperature towers, honestly. I’ve been playing with PHA, so I printed temperature towers for two new colours of that, and also I subscribe to the protopasta “endless filament” programme (at 150g/month, supersized samples really but I like it) and those showed up so needed one for each of them.
I _really_ like the bottle colours they sent out this month, particularly the blue. Just gorgeous.
Also planning on printing a TPU version of a keychain I designed that is an Atari Controller. It’s too fragile for a pocket in normal filament. Wish I had a tool changer, so it’s going to just be all black I think. [https://www.printables.com/model/491788-atari-joystick-key-chain-with-no-key-chain-option](Atari Keychain)
I’m printing a citadel paint pot holder, really useful if you’re into miniature painting. Here’s the link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2426089
Designed a model railroad car that holds a Raspberry Pi Zero and camera module for first person view in real time from a model train. My dad and I have been working on this concept for a while and my latest idea was to put a micro servo on it to steer the camera. We 3D printed a mount with swivel for the camera that holds a servo and bent some stiff wire to make linkages.
My most recent improvement to the design was learning how to use Blender enough to model a 3-part power supply box to house a series of electrical modules to convert the track power into a stable 5V for the Pi and condensed it into a small box that fits on the car alongside the Pi and camera system. The box contains a rectifier, switching regulator module, lithium battery charger module, and battery.
I also modified a model railroad truck (wheel assembly) model I found on Thingiverse to add DIY power pickups, bent a bare copper wire into a makeshift spring that contacts the wheels and a place for the wires to attach that feed the power box.
Wow, that’s really cool! You should totally post pictures or a video.
I made a post a few weeks back for our original design:

I haven’t posted anything about my new design though, as I made my own flatbed car model while that one was a model I found on Thingiverse. The power circuitry was also on a separate car in that test which is why I made my power box design. The model railroad layout is at my parents’ house so I have a short loop of test track I’ve been using to test my new design at my house which is absolutely not as interesting.
