3D printed storage, racks and organizers for a tidy, efficient workshop.
Introduction Safety glasses only protect you when they are on your face, and they only get on your face when they are easy to find. In most workshops they are anywhere but: buried under sandpaper on the bench, dangling off a nail by one arm, or sitting lens-down on a shelf slowly collecting scratches exactly … Read more
Introduction Sanding belts usually live in one of three bad places: coiled tight in a drawer, tossed in a box where the edges fray, or hanging off a single nail where they slowly take a permanent curl. Then, mid-project, you dig through the pile reading worn printing on the back of each belt, trying to … Read more
Introduction Cable ties come in bags of a hundred, and that is exactly the problem. The bag splits, ties slide into a drawer in a tangled raft, and when you need one tie of one particular length you end up fishing through all of them — usually while holding a cable bundle together with your … Read more
Introduction Every workshop has a drawer, a jar, or a tin full of loose batteries. Fresh cells roll in with flat ones, AA hides among AAA, and the cell you grab for a flashlight or stud finder is just as likely spent as new. Testing your way through a tangled pile every time a remote … Read more
Introduction Every workshop has the drawer. You open it for a 10 mm socket and perform the familiar ritual: sliding piles of tools aside, listening to everything roll, and finding the socket last week it spent in a completely different drawer. Loose drawers waste minutes on every single job. Store-bought drawer organizers promise order and … Read more
Introduction Painting a room is mostly waiting — and what happens to your brush and roller while you wait decides how the next coat goes on. Left flat on a tray edge, a brush dries at the tip, picks up dust, and drips where you least want it. A roller left sitting in paint flattens … Read more
Introduction Small hardware has a natural habitat, and it is not your pegboard. Screws, bolts, wall plugs, and fittings migrate into jars, coffee tins, and mystery drawers, where every project starts with tipping containers out and hunting for four matching fasteners. Pegboard should be perfect for small parts — visible, reachable, off the bench — … Read more
Introduction Every workshop has the drawer, box, or corner where cords go to tangle. An extension cord wraps itself around two tool cables, a charger lead hides underneath, and untangling the mess takes longer than the job you needed the cord for in the first place. 3D printed cable and cord winders fix that problem … Read more
Introduction Wrenches and pliers are the tools you reach for most — and the ones most likely to be buried at the bottom of a drawer. They slide together, tangle, and hide the one size you need under three you do not, so a simple job starts with a noisy search. A wall rail changes … Read more
Introduction Sandpaper has a way of disappearing into a workshop. Sheets end up folded in a drawer, half-used discs slide under a toolbox, and when you need a fresh piece of 220-grit, you find three torn corners of 80-grit and a sheet you cannot identify at all. The problem is not that sandpaper is hard … Read more
