I wanted to make some grids to put on the drawers/shelves that hold tableware in order to let dust and such fall through. This project has gone through may iterations…
Some random samplings of revisions. Things like strength, tolerances, and print time can be difficult to simulate for FDM prints due to factors like print settings and anisotropic properties.
I was doing something and needed a machine screw. I had a bit of trouble finding what I wanted in this box. In part because the bins didn’t always match the label, but for some other reasons as well.
What is this mess? Why doesn’t it have a M2x5?
I am revisiting my old class stuff that I made, and updating / expanding it a bit.

Needs revision, but the basic frame is mostly there.

I wanted to make a simple robot chassis that could have things added to it as needed.
I decided to go with some pz22gr9120r gearmotors because they are cheap (~$3 each) and easy to find. The 1:84 gear ratio and 6-24V operating range means that they aren’t going to be going very fast on a 2s or 3s battery pack, but for just playing around I think that robustness is more important.

The body has a 20 mm grid for attaching components and takes about 12 hrs to print. The bottom takes another 3.
The next step was creating the hardware.
I’m blue. I’m purple. If I was green I would die.
Screen images may be simulated.
So, this is the backup of the epathy board site I made a while back. It is a bit glitchy because it is ported, and a fair amount of content is missing. I hope to get it fully recovered eventually.

I debated weather(sp) I should look up decora gang plate dimensions, or measure one of my inserts. In the end I decided to go with drawings, and drew up a rough 3D sketch.
Simple “dummy Plug” decora insert.
I decided to experiment with different profiles for the stairs before I moved onto the final install.
Assorted profiles I made. curved, triangular, thicker…
Unfortunately it looks like the stair nose I ordered is never coming in.
Solution? Make my own!
Note: Please understand how to work with things correctly. PVC contains Chlorine which is dangerous, if you don’t know this, look up proper safety stuff.

When replacing the entry half bath I noticed that the toilet wasn’t centered. Supposedly this is to make the room look bigger. I don’t know about that, but things not being centered or aligned bothers me, so I wasn’t sure what to do. I decided in the end that the vanity doors should be aligned with the toilet and a cubby would be put to one side for TP and such.
The toilet is not centered on the wall.
