Simple 3D Printed holster/bracket designed for a generic intervalometer but its handy for holding other items on your tripod.
…Heres a handy little jig to save you in those situations where you need 3 hands. Another bonus is its something you can make in an afternoon without too much effort.
The main part is 3D printed (Download link at then end of this post) and the rail is simply 12mm or half inch stock. In my case I used some Pine but anything will do.
Its simple little alignment tool to clamp in place to help when installing shelves …
The guard on my
Running the machine without the guard would have been too dangerous for my liking. The jointer function of the machine would have been asking for an accident. It’s the last thing I want to have my fingers near when it’s spinning at a couple of thousand RPM.
My enquiries to the local suppliers didn’t go anywhere so I …
Corner clamps are a great way to hold
I designed (Fusion360) and 3D printed a version that uses replaceable jaws of any shaped. Four screw points are provided on the inside of the clamp body.
The wooden jaws must be 12mm or higher. If needed you can bevel or cut into them when working with thinner stock.

I’ve often found a low raking light really helps my woodworking. Its a handy little project that will pay dividends for years to come.
Finessing a joint, sanding, paring or removing machine marks is always easier. The older I get the more I value my raking light 🙂
Daylight and overhead lighting is always a good thing, but it can tend to wash out the surface details. Details you can barely feel become easily visible with a raking light placed …
A set of 3D printable Parallels and holder to aid in clamping on a Vise. I use a metalworking vise mainly for woodworking, traditionally these are metal, but for my purposes plastic is just fine.
Parallels are all 5mm wide and very from 10mm to 30mm in Height. You need to print 2 of each to complete the set as pictured but you can just print the ones you need or as needed.
I found printing the holder +3% in …
A couple of months ago I came across a youtube video by Nikodem Bartnik on building a basic little CNC machine. He also shared his STL files allowing you to 3D print your own components and build a machine.
Nickodems STL files and instructions can be found here on Thingiverse:
