Designed this allen wrench holder for my tool bag. the original bondus ones are short, and when they ride down in my tool bag all the of little ones fall out and start getting lost.
This is v1, hopefully it works out like I want it to. It's the full depth of the pocket they live in, so nothing should shift or get lost. Though on this look I see the margin is pretty thin on the one hole. it's currently printing, 18hr something print.

And just whipped up these thjngs, a couple mirror images.
Made a plexi plate with a 6" duct to exhaust through a window that has a screen it in. but theres nothing to hold the plexi in place. I'm really not sure how flexible this will be, but hopefully I can clip it in place with some preload.
If it works out.. or i guess even if it doesn't, ill put up a pic or two to hopefully explain better. I realize this makes no sense without context.

These look like they turned out pretty good.
Not sure how long the window clips are going to survive direct sunlight? This is all printed with pla+.

Good idea. You could add a little snap-on saddle that clips over the top to positively secure them pretty easily...

4 revisions later, just one more left, lol. Everything pretty good now but the 10mm could stand to be a little tighter.
Getting the diameters right kinda sucked.
I've been printing at 10% infill, basically draft quality, wonder if it's going to change on a good print.

BD headlight for my YZ is $280. Decided I can DIY it. Bought the squadron light on fbmp for $50 and set to making the mount/filler
Shoulda just bought the BD light
But finally got it decent enough. Need to adjust the mounts a bit yet but the face plate portion is done.

The black part is ASA. Currently the grey mounting pieces are just PLA until I get them finalized.
I don’t know anything about ASA. Think it could use some reinforcing ribs on the back, or is it pretty rigid?

It has minimal flex as is. I'll keep an eye on it after I get it on the bike for any failures.
ASA is like ABS but more UV/weather/temp resistant

Anyone have a multicolor printer?
I was checking this one out: Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo
But I am still researching them as they are still fairly new and more companies are coming out with them.
I am also looking into resin printers for the finish and accuracy. Need to read through this thread. I'm hesitant due to the quick browsing I've done and seeing issues with durability in multiple outdoor climates and scenarios.

If you are really concerned about resin durability go with Form1 or similar. A big chunk of the cost is the research and data on their resin mixes. With the cheap chinese stuff I would have random issues like a part shattering months later while just sitting in a box indoors.

Anyone have any insight into 3d Scanners? I have a project that could definitely save me some time from measuring, so I was thinking of picking one up (3d scans of a quarterpanel of a car, 1/16"-1/32" (1.5-0.7mm) accuracy needed). I like my Creality K1 3d Printer, anyone with experience with their scanners? Any other opinions?

No direct experience, but this guy has a pretty decent handle on it and has several videos out:

I've got a ferret which is probably the cheapest one that will do what you need. I'm still figuring it out, but I have worked out running it through your phone is pretty much a waste of time if you want any accuracy out of it. I've only tried small stuff so far though. There's some good videos on how to get the best out of it.
Dammit, after watching his video on the new PPA-CF filament, I had to order $320 worth of shit to get my P1P up to snuff to be able to print it.No direct experience, but this guy has a pretty decent handle on it and has several videos out:

I mean, they’re out of stock of the filament anyway, but…
i dont think i every dried or washed mine, usually just give em a sniff and refill with water
Screw that, mine get a funk and a taste pretty quickly. Usually can clean them out with some baking soda, sometimes I think they just need replaced.

I bought a noco booster a while back, it came with a 100% useless carrying pouch. Parts would not stay in the pouch, if you grabbed it wrong you would hit the flashlight button, etc.
Found this file and decided to try my luck with PETG printing (I've only been using PLA to date). After spending a little time dialing in the Elegoo rapid PETG, the prints came out nicely.

Used several Einscan units for personal and work:
Pro HD structured light: Dot tracking was not great. Feature tracking was best. Struggled with anything black. Would not scan gloss without top coating. Subframe scan had 8mm warpage over 1.1m span.
HX laser: Required dots to track. Used 1800 doing part of a vehicle body. Removal sucked. Scanned high gloss paint with no topcoat. black plastic parts scanned great too. More susceptible to adding noise to the surface. Software has a fix for that. Scan was warped 5-6mm over 1.8m length
Einstar: Reseller told me not to bother after using the two above.
Needs a beefy mobile workstation or gaming style laptop. All were rentals. Renting a high end scanner was not much more than the Einscan, I was too worried to break a $75k toy though.
I'd try the Creality Raptor next. Suspiciously cheap though.

Speaking of cheap...... first scans from my creality ferret.....
Mesh is a bit rough but there was essentially zero prep, just waved the scanner at it. Now to figure out how to post process the scans

Been working on reorganizing my toolbox using gridfinity trays. Extremely time consuming but is working out decently so far. This is the first drawer I've gotten to. I've just been doing basic boxes so far to collect each size wrench but I've seen guys making these with specific cut outs for specific tools.

First time I've heard of this, looks great and amazing potential. So your biggest trays there are 6 grids? 6x42=252mm (almost 10")?

Yea the biggest grid file is 7x7 but they just butt up to each other. My tool box drawer is like 12.5 deep by 22 grid squares wide and is made up of various 6x6, 5x6, etc grids to get full coverage
Then you can print the bins whatever size you want (or can fit in the printer). The biggest one I've done so far is 1x9 which I had to have diagonal on the bed.
