3d Print removal tools

Body

Removing items from your print bed can become a challenge. Here is a decent tool for removing. It has worked pretty well on thin items that my paint scraper can't get a good bite on.

pocket SD card Protector

Body

I wanted to protect the SD card I had while traveling so I needed a  case. The only cases I could find didn't look all that strong and were around $5 which really surprised me. So I decided to build one.

Caulk organizer

Body

Like most home owners you accumulate a lot of stuff. In this case I have probably 30 caulk tubes of various types and I really need to organize them. If I were to buy something it would cost about $30 and have a max of 12 per container.

Spray-can holders

Body

These will save you a lot of money the only spray-can holders I could find were rather expensive. I have a lot of spray-cans. The cheapest I could find on amazon were $14 that will hold 4 cans. I have 20 cans so I would need 5 of them, that comes to a total of $70 At that price I would be maxed out on space so this gives me the opportunity to add more as I need them so this will end up saving me more in the future as I continue to add spray paint colors etc....

Customizable Drywall Anchors

Body

This is super cool. If you ever needed to hang something in drywall these are a must. It won't save a ton of money. But if you consider driving to the store to pick some up this is a definite help. Plus these are customizable and can be made to the specifications you need for your project.

Desk Grommet

Body

Desk grommets are always handy when trying to make your desk look nice. I have had trouble finding grommets at local stores without ordering them. At work our maintenance person drilled to small of a hold which worked fine, but we couldn't get grommets the proper size. This is a perfect example of 3D printing at it's finest. 5 minutes on openscad and you can have a 3D model that is the proper grommet size for your hole. It turned out that was the biggest hole saw he had, so that's what he used.

stackable part organizer

Body

These are great to have on your desk for easy organization. You can never have too many. The beauty of this is you can print them off as needed for better organization. These typically cost around $3-$5 a piece. As I start organizing these will really add up. I'm going to start with 10 so that's 30-50 savings.
