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…

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…

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…

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…

Pot Scrapers
My Mum asked me to make these for her. She wanted a copy of what she has been using and I have used the same kind as well. But I have always found them a little frustratingly small and slippery. So I made a better one (or two)…

Herb Stripper
I really enjoy growing and saving herbs for the winter and this week I sun-dried a bunch. While stripping the herbs from their stems with my fingers, as I have always done, I thought – there must be a better way. And, sure enough, herb strippers are a thing. But rather than buy one I…

Lid Stack Hanger
A simple design but so effective at getting those pot lids organized.

Wine Stackers – Folding Stackable Wine Crate
I needed to create some flexible wine storage a while back and created these… folding, stackable, wine stackers (crates) that you can stack and scale as needed. These are really version 2.0 as I redesigned them recently with improved geometry, assembly and size, making them much stronger and easier to use.

Fruit Punch (Melon/Cookie Cutter)
My wife was making a fruit platter for a special event and in her research for making it, she found some examples of melons being cut into stars and hearts for the platter. We thought that was a very nice accent to the platter. Here are the cutters I made for the event.

Pop Open Sink Strainer
Someone asked me if I could design this and as soon as I did, I fell in love with it! Like many other people, I always hated banging the sink strainer into the waste bin but just accepted it. So when I got this one working I instantly wondered why did we not have this…

Drink Charms
Everyone (or at least most people) knows about wine charms but these are “drink charms” for all beverages… Many years ago I designed a series of wine charms that worked out really well but recently I recognized the need for charms for water glasses, cocktails, beer bottles and more. And, here is my solution… interchangeable…

RagTag2
The RagTag is a small hook on your waste attachment to allows you to keep a rag or towel with you. Originally intended for cooks and barbecuers, it might have countless other applications as well. I have been selling the RagTag on Amazon for some time now and slowly finding an audience for it. But…

Coffee Mug Lazy Susan
You know… so if the handle on your coffee mug is on the wrong side you can just spin it around to grab a hold of it. Ok, maybe you will not need it for that but it is still kind of fun. A mini turntable mechanism for displaying things or just as a fidget…
-
Large Mouth Flask
I wanted to create a water bottle that a) holds a decent volume of water (0.5l) and b) fits into a specific location that is convenient for me when walking my dogs (needed to be flat’ish). And, this is what I came up with – essentially a large flask. But what I learned is even…
-
BevvySteady3 Drink Holster
This one makes me happy… not just because I can keep a beer handy but because I have been trying to perfect this concept for a long time. My original design (here) was ok for me at the time but not ok for me now. This design is infinitely superior and complex. Three axes of…

Lazy Susan
2023-02-25 Update: I have created version 2.0 of these which use conical bearings and consequently runs much smoother and more freely. Although they are in different sizes I recommend these newer versions as opposed to the older ones described here. The new versions are linked here. Lazy Susan Mechanism 2.0 (Conical Bearings) Original Posting: I…

Freezer Crates
I know it may not be a concern for everyone but if you need to organize a freezer it can be difficult to find containers that are suitable. Firstly, they need to be the right size. And secondly, they need to let air flow in and around them. I hunted high and low and then…
-
Sight Glass Marker
If you have a sight glass on a hot liquor tank or other tank and want to be able to set level markers this is the part for you. I made one that you can slide up and down or reposition to set a starting or ending level, as well as a graduated marker that…
-
Salt and Pepper Caddy
Not too much to say about this product. Simply design, simple to print. I designed it for my favourite grinders so hopefully yours are the same size or smaller. To make it easier getting everything out to my barbecue. The adjustable OXO grinders are fantastic. A standard 6oz Watson sauce bottle fits but loosely.
-
Wine Glass Markers
Keep track of who’s wine is who’s wine! Small, medium and large. Print as many colours as you like!
-
Bread Slicing
This is a knife guide for cutting bread. It folds neatly for storage. The base extends out to support the portion of the loaf that is not in the cutting zone. An end wall flips up to position the loaf for cutting. No hardware or fasteners are required. It simply snaps together and works!

Dog Bone Cookie Cutter with Press
This is similar to other dog bone cookie cutters out there except I wanted a press to push the cookie “dough” down with. I made a press with my dog’s name on it “Bob” which I have uploaded in case there is someone else with a dog named Bob looking for one. Otherwise, I have…
