3d Printed Stuff Gallery

Back when I was developing games I had a load of 3D models made for games that ultimately never saw the light of day.
One of them that I thought came out well for something that should have been made in CAD rather than box modelled was this Currach. I wanted to see how well something that I modelled with shortcuts that meant it was never intended to be printed would hold up. Other than Cura screaming blue murder about non-manifold parts, and a hole in the bottom that means it won't actually float I was surprised that it came out well enough. Missing detail compared to the real thing obviously.

The holding clip for the support arm of my car's bonnet was broken, someone on thingiverse modelled one.

I printed a bit of M10 thread in one of the holes for the stainless bar to go through but doing so caused the slicer to mess up the Toyota logo.

More garage stuff.

Do a bit of amateur machining so used the 3D printer to convert a small bench-top milling machine to CNC.

First printed temporary motor mounts (black, grey and yellow, remains of PLA rolls) for a basic CNC setup. Once done, CNC milled permanent aluminum and 3D printed motor brackets (blue, ABS for better strength) for final CNC conversion/spindle motor drive upgrade. All parts modeled with Fusion 360, sliced with Cura, printed with a Creality Ender 3 Pro in an enclosure.

Second stage conversion parts CNC machined and 3D printed

Nice. Is it all your design? would it be hard to make that milling machine from scratch?

I printed this cover for behind the steering wheel of my boat but when I went to install it there was no way I could get the wheel off. Narrowly avoided making sh1t of the whole thing trying to remove it. So went back to the drawing board to come up with a version that didnt't require removing the wheel

Could have printed a base for it as well but decided to use a scrap of hardwood instead

New heating controls. Pity they don't qualify for the grant
