Here are some of my miscellaneous 3D-prints! This page gets updated every now and then when I model and print some small-ish prints. I think this page highlights my desing process and also the practicality of 3D-printing.
Not a belt buckle. A clip that attaches to a belt. I use this along with a chain, which is attached to my belt in a way that makes it impossible to remove without taking the belt off, to have my keys in a way where it is very hard for me to misplace and lose them. This also means my keys are always easy to access should I need them. This can also be used to clip into the waist of pants, which I use when I am not wearing jeans.
The prints are done in Prusament PLA Prusa Orange and Prusament PLA Jet Black.
This took me three iterations, first one to test the idea, second one to give it some grip and improve the keyring part and a thrid one to tighten the grip.
Meeples are a standard for boardgame pieces. One game that uses meeples is Carcassonne. In Carcassonne there are also more specialized meeples, such as a giant. The giant is a bit bigger than a regular meeple and counts as two when it comes to "battles" over cities or fields. It is however hard to differenciate between regular meeples and the giant meeple when they are on the board. To solve this issue I have made the friends-meeple. It is literally jsut two meeples smushed together, with an additional piece taken out from their legs to make them work with towers.
Here you can see the friends-meeple in action and a comparison shot between a regular meeple, the giant meeple and the friends-meeple.
I originally ran into some trouble when I tried to use a meeple model off the internet to do this. It turned out the model was way too thin, and I ended up making my own instead. Now the meeples have just a bit too much space between their legs, but this is impossible to notice unless you are specificly looking for it. Incase someone is intrested in printing these out three outer shells and 15% gyroid infill seems to make them weigh roughly as much as regular meeples.
My uncle and cousins have this really old and awesome chess set. Unfortunately it was missing a black pawn. a 3D-printed pawn may not be the best replacement for a wooden piece but it is certainly better than the Lego minifigure they were using before.
Ended up making four versions. two are smooth while two are rough because the lower layerheight of 0.05mm causes some artifacts and I couldn't decide if it was better with higher layerheight but no artifacts. Then there was the question of height. Two of the pieces include the height of the felt piece beneath the normal pieces in their height while two are missing that height to allow for a felt piece to be added. The height difference is too tiny to see in the pictures. The middle one is the original.
Here are all failed attempts ordered by age. The right most one is the final desing. The curves of the chess piece are almost impossible to measure accurately. I worked around this by first measuring them to the best of my abilities and then adjusting the curves over iterations to look like the original piece. Honestly the difference from my first measurements to the actual final product are quite small and most people wouldn't have cared at all. I can barely see the difference in the image, but it is actually visible. Look at the top of the upper ring.

It is intented to be a stiff one.
This is pretty self-explanatory, isn't it?
The prints are done in Prusament PLA Jet Black.
My mom got two of these beautiful lamps! But unfortunately the lamps are meant to have their wiring connected trough the ceiling, which we couldn't do and mom didn't want to make a hole in the lamps for the wiring. So I 3D-printed these extenders with a hole for the wiring.
In real life the extender is almost impossible to notice, since people don't tend to focus on lamps much.
Here you can see my prototypes. These aren't as discreet as the final one :D
You can also see the Brio inspired connection I used to get around the size limit of my printer ((18cm)^3). Each extender consists of 8 pieces.
Final prints done in Prusament PLA Galaxy Silver and the prototypes in Clas Ohlson PLA (RED)
There is this lawn mower that has these rather fidly connectiosn between two parts. While I was using it, one of these fell of and went into the mowers blades. So I made a replacement.
Replacement on the left and an original one on the right. The print was done in Prusament PLA Jet Black. I might have to redo this one with PETG at some point.
The way this works is there is a slot for a nut inside the print as you can see in the left picture of a halfway done print. I unfortunately knocked it loose and had to print it again, but this does make it easier to show. Unfortunately the black plastic makes it still somewhat hard to see. On the right you can see the original piece I was replacing, after the accident.
Our openable windows have these "bug net"-meshes, which are held in place by tiny metal clips. Tiny metal clips, that are very easy to drop and very hard to find.
Made from PETG to last in the sun.
So, Prusa has prepared some files to distribute along with their printers. Two such files are a giant bolt and a giant nut. I absolutely love these! They make for an excelent stress toy. There is only one thing that could make them even better: even more length. The original is 81mm long while my version is 180mm.
The prints are done in Prusament PLA Prusa Orange and Prusament PLA Jet Black.
This one was made at the request of my ex-girlfriend.
The final prints are done in Prusament PLA Jet Black and Clas Ohlson PLA (RED).
The red filament is rather translucent, altough it isn't advertised as such. I utilised it here to have light create a nice effect when it goes trough the plastic. The red part is 1mm thick.
Sometimes 3D-prints stick to the printbed rather well, and need a little help coming off. It is recommended to use a metal spatula, but I can't find one that is sharp enough.

The background for this one is that my mother likes to water plants with dirty water from doing laundry. We have our laundry machines drainagehose going trough a ventilation hole. Unfortunately the drainage hose of our laundry machine is rather short. We are using a generic gardenhose as an extension, which isn't possible without an adapter, so I made one.
The final print, in Prusament PLA Prusa Orange. This one might not last since it is in use outside. If not, then I will print another one from PETG. The garden hose has a tightener because the material is strechy and slowly streches until the fit isn't nice anymore.
Edit: I was right about it not lasting, it has been a year since the original was installed. The part that wraps around the gray-hose was exposed to sun and thus had gotten rather crusty and the part that it is inside the green hose was exposed to hot water from thhe laundry and had deformed a bit. The new one is made from Clas Ohlson PETG (WHITE)
The planning was done by first measuring the required dimension and then printing test pieces as measurements on strechy materials can't be trusted and it is impossible to know how tight the fit will be with certain dimensions.
Here you can see a continuation of this idea: an adapter from the hose to the drain. During the winter we can't pump the dirty water outside, since the hose will freeze. Unfortunately however, the hose from the washing machine doesn't quite reach to the drain. So, of course a logical way to solve the problem is to use the older adapter with a shorter hose piece to extend the too short one.
This one was made so much later, that I knew how to use slightly more advanced desings. Note how the prongs connect without any need for tools, and there is a slimmer section inside the hose that makes the "tightener" (can't find a proper english name for it) have much better grip. Not strictly necessary but nice to haves.
