CollarPod – Poop Bag Holder for Dog’s Collar
A few weeks ago I headed out for a walk with Bob and Heidi on a warm day. Left my jacket at home. No bags. You know the moment — the dog squats and you’re standing there with nothing. That was the day I decided I really needed to design the CollarPod. Click here to…

Logical Scraper – 3D Printed Bed Scraper (Model A & B)
If you’ve ever stripped out the screw holes on a printed scraper handle, or fumbled with a three-piece assembly while holding a razor-sharp blade, these designs are for you. The Logical Scraper comes in two models — one for those who want adjustable blade angles, and one for those who just want to print and…

Logical Grow Platform (LGP)
A modular, fully 3D-printed growing system that scales with your plants — from seed start to thriving indoor growth. I like to grow herbs and vegetables for cooking, and this year I am adding Thai peppers and jalapenos. My plan is to smoke the jalapenos to make chipoltes. I can’t wait, but I need to…

Deep Cell Plug Trays – Seed Starters
Stronger roots, cleaner planting, and a reusable way to start healthier seedlings in compact modular formats. Every growing season seems to start the same way — stacks of flimsy plastic seed trays, soil everywhere, seedlings sitting in soggy bottoms, and roots already circling before the plants are even ready to move outside. Click here to…

STEPH – Screen Top Edge Phone Holder
Your phone — right where you’re already looking. Phones tend to end up flat on a desk while we work — off to the side, face down, or constantly being picked up just to check notifications, timers, or reference content. Over time they add clutter and break focus, even though we rely on them all…
-
Logical DeskBox
Desk essentials, organized and within reach. Small items have a way of taking over a workspace — pens, earbuds, glasses, sticky notes, charging accessories, and all the everyday things you reach for repeatedly throughout the day. Before long, the desk feels cluttered even when nothing major is out of place. Click here to download STL…

Logical CableNest
Contain the cables. Keep calm. Messy power adapters and cable sprawl are one of the fastest ways to make a workspace feel chaotic—especially when that workspace isn’t permanent. The Logical CableNest was designed to solve exactly that problem. Click here to download STL (Affiliate Link)

SLUK – Self-Locking Utility Knife
This project started with a simple frustration. I use utility knives all the time in the shop — opening boxes, trimming prints, cutting filament, breaking down packaging — and I wanted something that felt solid, safe, and predictable, without relying on tiny springs, metal hardware, or complicated internals.

Toilet Paper Holder 2
This is one of those designs that only exists because something quietly changed in the real world. Over the last few years, toilet paper manufacturers have been steadily shrinking the inner cardboard core. That doesn’t sound like a big deal… until you realize that a lot of holders (especially simple or minimalist ones) rely on…

Logical Wall Mounted Spool Storage
I’ve been wanting a better way to organize my filament spools for ages — one that keeps them visible, tidy, expandable, and right on the wall where I can grab what I need without digging through bins or shelves. Click here to download STL (Affiliate Link)
-
Logical CardLock Case
I am pretty sure I am going to make more variants of this one, as it is just so much fun. The 2mm thick printed lock system is even better than my prior designs because this one uses print-in-place compliant springs for the tumblers and the lock Dial detents. The lock is reprogrammable, snap-together, and…
-
logical Utility Knife (v2.0)
I created the first version of this skeleton style utility knife about a year ago, and I have used it almost daily since. Primarily for opening and breaking down boxes. But one thing turned out to be a recurring issue… I kept losing the cases for it. And, even if I did not lose the…
-
StashHanger 2.0
I created my original StashHanger more than a year ago, and I really liked it, but I always knew it could be better. And, this is it… a collapsible, 3-container, full-size hanger that provides some storage space that could be used for all sorts of purposes. It is a fun hiding place for valuables or…
-
Mini eShelf
As anyone who follows me knows, I have a line of faceplate accessories called WallMatePlate that allows you to get extra functionality out of your electrical outlet and wall switch plates. But I stumbled across this idea on a shopping site and I thought it was quite clever in its simplicity. So I designed my…
-
Lockable USB Cable Clasp Version 2.0
I didn’t really need this design, but it always bothered me that my earlier version was so difficult to print – or, rather, the built-in support was so difficult to remove. So I made a complete redesign that does not require any support. Much better. Click here to download STL (Affiliate Link)
-
Logical Milk Frother
This is another design in the category of “make my wife happy”… she had asked me for this for some time, but I never got the inspiration to make it happen. Then suddenly it seemed so obviously simple. A very simple frother stand that will hold just about any frother. Click here to download STL…
-
Logical Crate System
I designed freezer crates a few years ago, and they have served me (and some other people) well. But it always bothered me that a) the crates were not 100% printed. And, b) in order to make those crates, I used a vinyl slat from Home Depot that not everyone had access to. The slats…
-
Drainer v2.0
After designing my original pop-open drain strainer about a year ago, I knew I would eventually need to create a second generation of it. I knew there was a better design out there, I just couldn’t think of what it was until now. This one is so much better… Click here to download STL (Affiliate…

Tablet Turret
When I started this project I had something else in mind. In fact, I bought my wife a commercially made iPad stand some time ago and I set out to replicate that. In the end this is nothing like that but… better (ok not entirely better but pretty good). And, what’s more, this one is…

A Better Wasp Trap
I am very fortunate to live in an area that is not too bad for bugs because I love cooking outdoors and just hanging outdoors. But from time to time, the wasps do come and pester us, and sometimes aggressively. So I felt it was time for a logicalplanet wasp trap, and like the idea…

IceCozy
Despite the fact that I set out to make an ice mould for the DrinkColder and failed, I think this was a good recovery. This IceCozy is fantastic. My only regret is that it is small (so it can fit in the DrinkColder), but it still performs well and for me at least, feels so…
-
DrinkColder
Self-Closing Drink Holder & Cooler I’m not entirely sure how I arrived at designing this. I just had a thought in my head that a self-closing beverage holder would be fun. It started as something completely different, but once I got on the design that it is now, I just loved it. It is so…
-
GearBin™ – Mini Mechanized Trash Bin
This is definitely up there as one of my favourite design projects so far. It is, like usual, contraption-like in its design and super fun. And, hey, the 3d printer does not care how complex the print is – it is just happy printing. So why not make things more complex and fun like my…
-
PocketBagCard – Credit Card Sized Bag Holder
I am not obsessed with my dogs but I really really really enjoy them. So whenever I get a chance to design and 3d print something that makes my world with them better I jump on it. And, to that end, I have created a creditcard-sized dog bag dispenser. It is great for dog owners…

Modular Scalable Filament Swatch System
Click here to download STL (Affiliate Link) So I didn’t have much interest in printing filament samples (swatches) for many years because I didn’t like swatch systems that I saw. I also used only 1 or 2 brands of filament initially too which meant there was not so much to keep track of. But that…

Double Flap Through Wall Vent
My exhaust system parts are now a fairly comprehensive system (albeit broken into several different postings – one day I will compile them all together) for exhausting machines to the outside but until now I have not posted a through-wall system. Here it is…
-
X1 Capture & Vent Exhaust with LEDs
After creating the earlier X1 exhaust and also the P1S exhaust I have learned a lot. And, that is all now compiled into this new X1 capture and vent exhaust extraction system. And, this system (like the P1S system) now includes facilities to add LED strips into the top of the machine to illuminate the…
-
PS1 Exhaust System
After creating an exhaust extraction system for my X1 last week, I had a request for one suitable for the Bambu Lab P1S. And, to create it with the ability to capture the exhaust pushed out the back fan. I learned that while the exhaust fan of the X1’s sucks air in, the exhaust fan…
-
X1 Exhaust System
If you have an X1 and want to extract air from the chamber here is a solution that you may be interested in. Rather than try to ride over the existing vent openings on the back of the machine, I have created a frame that sits on top of the machine (under the glass). It…

Count the Turns
…of filament on the spool to know how much filament remains. I guess a lot of people hate wasting the last little bit of filament on a spool as I do. But it is not super convenient to remove the spool from the machine to measure it just to determine you have 50g remaining. So…

LPE25 Variable Flow Valve
When I created the modular LPE25 Quick Connect Exhaust System I always thought I would make a blast gate for it at some point but was lacking inspiration. Then someone asked me for a variable flow valve and I thought… that would be so much better for this application. So here it is…
-
LPE25 Quick Connect Exhaust
This is a quick-connect/disconnect system for a 2.5-inch vacuum/exhaust hose that includes a mounting facility so you can keep it organized. I developed this to vent out my printers and it has worked out so well that I thought I better share it…
-
Re-useable Print Spool
I am thrilled that many of the filaments I like to use are now on recyclable cardboard spools but unfortunately, not all are. So I wanted a re-useable spool that was easy to use and had some features that were important to me. This is what I came up with.

Folding Garden Canopy
Living where we do, I have difficulty keeping some of my herbs (plants) alive through the winters. But I have found protecting them from the winter elements using a cover is extremely effective in getting them into the spring in good shape. So I created a folding canopy structure using 1/2 PVC pipe and a…

Quick Release Fan Duct For JG Aurora A5S)
This is one of those projects that I spent a ridiculous amount of time on and in the end really never finished it. The idea is fantastic though… snap on and off fan ducts for the hotted on a JG Aurora A3S or A5S. Not only does it make replacement quick and easy, but the…

Split Ring for Keys
I designed this just for fun but they work quite well also. I was interested in seeing how to print two components together without them bonding. I used a 0.2mm print layer and a 0.2mm gap between the two rings. They stick together but don’t fuse together and can be pried apart quite easily. Nozzle…
-
A3S Cable Chains
I designed this from the ground up as a learning exercise as much as anything else. And, honestly just because it seemed like a fun project. I had no cable chain experience before making this so I am not sure exactly how the chain is supposed to behave but I think this one works pretty…
