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…

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…

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 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…

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…

Lipstick on the Wall
I design and print probably three times as many things as I post, often because I feel there will not be a huge audience for some of the things I design, and other times, it is just a matter of not having enough time in the day to document and post them. This one would…

Pill Dropper
It has been a bit of an ongoing thing for me, trying to find a way to quietly and easily get a Tylenol in the middle of the night. I think I finally have it figured out and here is my solution…
-
Glove Dryer
This project has been on my mind for a while, but since wet gloves are a seasonal thing (for me) it seems I needed winter to come back to get it done. And, now I need a lot fewer pairs of gloves lying around since I can dry them between outings. This snap-together design is…

Shoulder Bag Hanger
In the course of researching the belt hanger for my wife, I saw a shoulder bag hanger that I thought was interesting and a good solution for storing shoulder bags. This is my take on that…
-
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.

Backup TP Holder
Free to download on thangs.com from July 5 to July 11, 2024 Another design made at my wife’s request… she saw something like this at a friend’s house and asked me to make it. It is a hook onto the tank spare toilet paper holder so you always have a backup ready. Especially good for…

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…

WallPlateMate™
See wallplatemate.com for more product information. So this is a big one for me… It has evolved out of a few simple ideas and has become a lot of different parts that all work together to make my life better. And, I hope it will for you too. I originally started out trying to create…

Kallax Drawer Trays
This is a sliding tray that rides on the Ikea Kallax drawer walls and is also convertible into an organizer sitting inside the Kallax drawer. But the main point of it is that this 275mm tray is printable on a 200mm bed.
-
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…

Modular Remote Control Holders
These holders slide together into endless configurations for all your various remote controls. They can also be used for other similar-sized objects like eyeglasses for example.
-
Broom Handle
Replacement for the Swiffer Vacuum sweeper handle. The original handle seemed very weak and snapped after some use. This one provides better leverage and reduces the risk of breaking.

Wine Glass Markers
Keep track of who’s wine is who’s wine! Small, medium and large. Print as many colours as you like!
-
Beer Tap Tower
One of my hobbies during COVID-19 was making beer (and cider) which turned out to be a great hobby! And, I decided I needed to have it all on tap in my backyard. So I designed and printed a kegerator! Ok, not a whole kegerator but a tap head! ok, not an entire tap head…
-
Tweezer Tower
The lipstick holder I made a few weeks back was such a big hit with my wife she asked for a tweezer holder. She has more small tweezers, scissors and other instruments than seem reasonable and the holder is needed.
-
Lipstick Tray
My wife had a tray full of lipsticks and asked me if I could help organize it for her. I never miss an opportunity to print something for her as it seems to make the fact that I have a printer running nearly 24/7 more acceptable to her when I make things for her.

Beer Holder
2024-02-15 Update: Don’t print this, it sucks! I have made a way better one posted here… BevvySteady3 Don’t lose your beer or canned drink while barbecuing or anything else.
