My dad had a stroke, he can't control his right hand all that much and asked for something to keep his hand open and his fingers stretched and spread out.
Traced my hand, imported a photo to Fusion, scaled it, added an offset. Added holes for the dual sided Velcro straps and printed it out. It might not be very pretty, but it's rigid enought and seemingly comfortable enough as well.

Modeled and printed this levered box for my mom's painting supplies
Had a fun time doing the math for the positioning and size of the levers so it would open and close all the way.
Colors do not match at all but it was her choice so I am super happy.
Things I would change are the "handle", which I am not sure I like the hole idea for opening it but any knobs or actual handles felt too cluncky for a simple print and the hinge for the lids because they keep getting stuck somewhere so its not smooth.
All things my mother doesnt give a shit about so who cares right?

3D Printing Bed-Side Tables
I needed some bed-side tables to fit in a 28cm gap either side of my bed, but I couldn't find any online. So I've created a model that's fully parametric so you can make some to fit in whatever size space you need.
They dont' need any additional parts just screw together with printed threads. It used 1.6KG of filament for a 280 x 280mm size, 500mm tall. Even with the furniture board this was considerably cheaper than buying some.
The wood on top is some furniture board I got from a local hardware store cheap and cut to size to give it a nice top finish. Totally optional!

Replacing broken parts faster and better than ordering new ones
My friend's wardrobe has a hanger rod held up by two sad plastic brackets. The brackets broke, and all the clothes fell down.
It was a simple part, so I was able to model new brackets in Fusion in about 5 minutes with a caliper while making them much beefier. Then I printed them in some PC I had sitting around to make sure they could take the weight without deforming over time.
Problem solved! Just need to fix about 58 more wardrobes, and all my 3D printer gear will have nearly paid for itself.

I 3D printed the settings for one of my guitar pedals so I would stop forgetting them
I was constantly forgetting the settings on one of my guitar pedals so I printed them out and put them on top of its expression controller. These are the settings for the mod bank on my blooper pedal.

Freezer basket clip - try, try again!
One of our Facilities techs heard that I have a 3d printer, and showed me a small part he needed. It holds freezer baskets in place, in our commercial freezers. I told him I wasn't sure I could get the thin parts strong enough to hold up; and at first I couldn't. I did prototypes in both PLA and PETG, but just couldn't get it right. I thought about what we really needed, and did one in TPU - it worked!
Apparently, I kept the company from needing to buy new freeezers, since this vital part is no longer available.

Parametric pegboard for organizing e.g. necklaces
Made this for my wife. She wanted a way for organizing her necklaces. There are a lot of models for this already, but mine is parametric :)
You can add more or less rows and colums. Change the peg lengths, corner rounding, base width and height etc.
You can even generate a small 1 peg board 😄
Model is over here:

Cable organizer V2!
I made a V2 of my cable organizer so it can fit up to 2 meter long cables, and is compatible with almost any type of cable!
I really liked how this turned out, so I wanted to share it so other people could also use it if they wanted to!
It is on makerworld @unfadable

Ranki TPU Prints great, very clean looking mat for my parents sink.
I'd like to think I'm well versed in TPU, but this stuff prints amazing without too much fuss. It has slope in it for drainage, but during the test prints, the top was smooth like leather. Quality stuff.

String Spool Holder for my Travel Ukuleles
Made a simple spool holder to make dispensing fluorocarbon strings for my travel ukuleles a little easier. No more chasing runaway spools around the workbench!
