3D printing!

Some prints are my own design, some of them I've found online. I prefer finding something and tweaking it to suit my need rather than starting from scratch, it saves alot of time and head ache.
When 3D modelling I use Blender, an open source 3D software, I personally found it easier to use.
I started printing with PLA filament but moved on to ABS after i tried using a PLA printed CPU bracket in a PC I built (see below). Turns out PLA softens at around 70°C and my first print ended up in the bin. So I built an enclosure for my 3D printer and bought a roll of ABS.
The nice thing about ABS is that you can smooth out any imperfections with an acetone-bath and you get beautiful results as long as you're careful not to leave it in for too long.
The downside of ABS is that you really need an enclosure for the fumes and to reach a temperature where the filament accually sticks to the build plate.

I use a Ender 3 Pro with a Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint with a connected webcam and a DS18S20 temperature sensor so that i can see what's printing and get the enclosure temperature in the same webgui as nozzle/bed-temperature.

Lamp with Cretan pattern with RGB and wifi

2 / 3

Different colours and a cool shadow effect

3 / 3

Controlled via wifi

A wifi lamp with rgb leds (WS2812B) and an esp8266. Got the inspiration from a similar lamp i saw online. Made in Blender.
Casts a really nice shadow on the walls.
Currently being controlled by my OpenHab server.

A while back when it was wifi controlled

Its new controller using an nRF24L01

4 / 4

Inside the controller

A spider bot I've been working on for a while. From a design i found online but very modified, first verion had 3 servos on each leg. Switched from being wifi controlled to a nRF24L01 and a controller for ease of use.

5 / 5

CPU heatsink+fan with new bracket

A bracket for AM4 motherboards. From a broken design i found online, needed alot of fixes and ALOT of clean up. Enables me to use my Evo 212 cooler horizontally and a ~ 8°C cooler CPU.

Atlas holding the globe-style GPU support

2 / 3

For your larger GPUs

3 / 3

Smaller one without top disc supporting my own GPU

A GPU support á la Atlas holding the globe. Top and bottom discs are printed separatly. More or less aesthetic, never heard of GPU sag being harmful...

Groot (from Guardians of the Galaxy) plant pot

3 / 3

A cut down version, faster printing for a larger plant

One of my favorite prints so i have a bunch

NOT MY DESIGN but one of my favorite 3D prints so i included it.
If printed properly it should hold water. Mine are painted with acrylic paint.
Works great on any desk!

Question block from Super Mario

2 / 3

With RGB and a "Boiinng" sound from a piezo-buzzer

3 / 3

With Question Block removed

Found the Question Block online and made the stand with a arduino, piezo-buzzer and a few WS2812B. The switch used is a mechanical keyboard switch i had lying around. Makes the BOOING sound when pressed.

Broken wifi bulb got new life with a 3D printed enclosure

2 / 3

The top part scews on easily

3 / 3

All the functionality remains

When one of my wifi bulbs broke, I decided to take a look inside. After a bit of poking around with a multimeter and some googling I figured out that the 230-12V powersupply was broken.
A 12V adapter and a short 3D print later I hade a new desklamp. The top part is printed with transparent PLA filament.

Arrow fletching Jig

2 / 3

The arrows flies straight (slow-motion)

3 / 3

The arrows flies straight

NOT MY DESIGN. With the pandemic I wanted to go outside while being responsible, archery seemed like a good idea. But arrows are expensive, specially if you are new and loose them all the time. The arrows might not be as good as bought ones but they are more than good enough for a beginner like me.


The bust of Nefertiti

NOT MY DESIGN. The Nefertit bust from the Neues Museum in Berlin. A really nice 3D printed replica of the over 3000 year old bust. Printed in ABS and given an acetone-bath to smooth out print lines. A nice piece (copy) of history.


Heart of Mushrooms

Sculpted in Blender by Konatski. My part was giving advice on how to shape certain parts and how to split the model for the best result when printing. Printed in ABS and given an acetone-bath.
Definitely one of my favorite prints!


Annoying alarm clock

An enclosure for an arduino, RTC and a piezo-buzzer. Has a 6 pole switch on the side and a big button on the front for turning of the alarms. A ssd1306 oled show the time.


File Holder 4000

A really useful print for my files that were just spread out in a drawer before.
Took about 30 minutes to make in Blender.


Pi zero enclosure with 7 push buttons and USB A

A tight fitting enclosure for a Pi Zero with a female USB A port that i soldered on.
The 7 push buttons that are connected to a GPIO each and the I2C 16x2 LCD can easily be controlled with software.


Turntable with gearbox

This one is a combination of 2 different models i found online.
The original turntable had a hand crank that i replaced with a 6V brushless DC motor. To Slow it down and increase its torque i added a 3D printed gearbox and ran it off 3V.
