For this 3D print, I printed something similar to a colander for straining things.

This is what it looks like, it was a very easy print.

It could be used to sift anything. I used it to sort sand from rocks and it worked well. It was a very easy print, I just used normal setting and it printed great. Here is a link to the print code: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:909118

The print code is for various sand toys but obviously I only picked the strainer.

Here is a video describing the print in more detail:

This is continuing my theme of useful 3D prints. In this one I printed some G clamps out of plastic. I actually use the metals ones for various things so wanted to see how sturdy the plastic versions would be.

I printed two, a big one and a small one, as shown in the photo below.

Here is an additional photo where an additional clamp is shown holding pieces of wood together.

Overview I really like these clamps. They are very sturdy and have worked well anywhere I have used them. They work just like the metals clamp you can purchase. Also, the print was very simple. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

In my latest 3D print I printed a chip clip. It was an easy print, took about an hour. It works pretty well, using tension to hold it closed.

A very simple print, but I like to focus on things that have an actual use. I printed it with 25% infill.

This is my latest useful 3D print, I printed a whistle. Here is a picture of how it looks.

It is amazingly loud, works really well and was a very easy print.

The print settings are simple, I used 50% infill. Here is the link to the code:

See more details in the following video. Note that the volume of the whistle kind of messed up the audio in the video:

The latest thing I 3D printed was a carabiner. I was skeptical on how strong it would be, but it was able to lift a 10 pound weight no problem. I would definitely use this design again if I needed one. Below is how the carabiner looks and a picture of it supporting 10 pounds.

The printing specs were 100% infill, no supports needed. Here is the link to get the code:

This is the latest thing I 3D printed, it is a cell phone stand shaped like a dinosaur. This is how it turned out.

This is the stand without holding a phone.

This is how the cell phone stand looks holding a cell phone.

The cell phone stand is very sturdy and has been very useful. To print it is easy, I used 100% infill (so it would be solid and therefore study) and no supports.

This is another print I did recently which turned out really well. It is a pot (with a wide base), which could serve as a pencil holder. When I printed it the setting were 0% infill and no support. I use rainbow PLA , which is why the coloring changes.

I have a lot of pencils around the house so I thought printing a pencil holder would be a good idea. This is the one I printed which I think turned out really well:

The print was pretty easy, it took about 9 hours and I used 0% infill.
