This box has coloured text flush with the top.
The holographic stars top and bottom are from the cute juupine plate.
The design was done with OpenSCAD, sliced with Orcaslicer, printed in PLA on my Bambulab P1S.
All the items in this collection were designed and 3D printed by me.
I will supply files to anyone who wants them.

Battery Packer
1 photo
Our 'boarding' cats have a biscuit feeder with an opening top.
So I 3D printed some trivial 'packers' which hold an AA cell.
When a cat approaches, it opens.
Keeps the biscuits fresher, reduces smell, keeps bugs out. Good idea.
But it use 4 C cells. Expensive.
AA size inside, C size outside.
Used Li-Ion 1.5v AA's from Amazon.
Cheap alternative. -
Bird Feeder Extender
1 photo
At the top of this bird feeder is an extension I designed and printed. It doubles the seed capacity of the feeder.
Printed in "spiral vase" mode, 0.6mm wide clear PETG.
Came out surprisingly well. -
Button Expander
1 photo
I have two shirts which are lovely and warm,
but the buttons are too small for the buttonholes.-What to do? (I am lazy.) Oh... I have a 3D printer.
So I printed some button 'expanders' which push on over the buttons.
They look good in tri-colour filament. Not obvious unless you know they are there. -
Cat Carrier Joiner
1 photo
Our 'boarding' cats have a carrier each, stacked on top of each other to save space.
One often sleeps in the top one.The shells are plastic, quite sturdy, with plastic ring 'feet' on the top and bottom.
You'd think they would make them so they stack, large ring on the bottom, small on the top.
No... they are the same size!So I printed some of these simple rings of the correct size to join the carriers together.
Now the top one doesn't move around when the cat jumps in. -
Cat Run
7 photos
This is our cat run, for two cats 'boarding' here, who come from apartment living. A tunnel connects the cage to the house via a window.
It is made from aluminium tubing, bird wire, 3D printed parts, and cable ties.
I designed all the plastic parts except for the door hinges, derived from a thingiverse design.
The 3D parts are all created in OpenSCAD.I'd intended to use plastic waterpipe for the structure, but aluminium tube (from Paramount Browns) was cheaper and lighter.
The plastic connectors are printed in PETG, though that is a bit brittle. -
Cat Sign
1 photo
With two cats used to apartment living coming into the household, we had to get used to keeping outside doors closed quickly after entering or exiting.
So I printed cat signs of varying sizes, to put on doors as a reminder to look out for escaping cats.
I found a cat image on the net, and imported it into OpenSCAD, and extruded it to a thin thickness.This large one is on the cat-run door.

Cat tree plunger
3 photos
We got this cat tree without the spring-loaded 'plunger' at the top, which presses against the ceiling to stabilise the very tall structure.
A piece of wood and a bit of pipe might have done. But hey, I have a 3D printer. So I printed it. (Designed in OpenSCAD.)
The black stuff at the top is a bit of grippy foam to stop it slipping against the ceiling. -When the cats jump up there, it sways a bit. -
Chair Feet
1 photo
The protectors on the bottom of this chair were busted.
Downloaded a design for some from thingiverse.com. Too flimsy.
So I designed these thicker ones. (Pretty in pink.)
Printed on my Bambulab P1S in PLA. -
Coffee Dripper Top

This cap is to replace one lost from my one-cup coffee dripper.
Printed fine in black PETG.
Simple design done in OpenSCAD. -
Door Stopper
3 photos
The door stoppers in our house are disintegrating. They are a rubber tube over a 'socket' screwed to the bottom of the door.
So I printed replacement tubes in TPU. Minimal cost, Good enough. An enhancement I might get around to, is zig-zag rings at the strike end, to make it more flexible.
