Solvespace models
=================

This is a collection of my custom-made 3D models intended for 3D printing,
with some commentary.  Solvespace 3.0 or newer is required.

18650 battery charger
---------------------
The RD6006P laboratory power supply can charge li-ion batteries, but you have to
make your own battery holder.  I've made it so that the thermocouple merely sits
in a trench underneath, and the battery needs to be pressed down against it.

Antenna connector cover
-----------------------
Just a one-off box to prevent cables from getting entangled upon adjusting
the height of my desk.

Bathtub strainer
----------------
The first thing I've ever modelled for printing, hence the simple geometry.
Prevents larger objects from falling in.

Cable bushing
-------------
A trivial model for the back of IKEA PLATSA, which is 3 mm thick.  The lip is
just wide enough to cover my mistakes.

Cable hooks
-----------
To be glued to a desk using
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32905098341.html[double-sided adhesive tape],
which is the red thing in the photo below.
Prone to delaminating under load when the printer is badly tuned.

CD spindle
----------
One-off model to enable infinite stacking of CDs and DVDs.  To be printed in
spiral vase mode, and deserves to have a bottom layer/cover added--cardboard is
the obvious choice of material for that.

Geiger stick
------------
For https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33058301946.html[KB6011] and specific
aluminium pipes.  Use at least three perimeters for the handle, or it may break
easily.  The pipe needs to be inserted with considerable force.

IKEA PLATSA screw plug
----------------------
There are connecting holes at the top of frames from this system.  I've designed
a simple plug to hide them, and to make the surface more or less level.
Prusament ASA "Signal White" is an appropriate filament.

Book scanning stand
-------------------
The pitch of 7 cm fits Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.  Not as useful as expected,
however the idea of using aluminium pipes has turned out to be a good
one--they're relatively cheap, and easy to work with.  The sections are about
30 cm long, connected with four identical elbows.  The bottom sits on
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32891555457.html[8x2.5 mm silicone pads].

Paper boxes
-----------
These are actually 2D models for making closable little containers out of
folded-up paper and a few drops of glue.  It takes a lot of time to make these,
so not recommended at all.

Pill container
--------------
This is not a particularly good design, and the tolerances are somehow off,
so I failed to have it close after reprinting on a different machine.
Large pills can be very difficult to extract.

Strainer adapter
----------------
Fixating a pretty stainless steel strainer in my slightly incompatible sink
drain.  Absolutely perfect.

Trivial Kailh Choc keycap
-------------------------
Fast to print and perfectly functional in PLA, though obviously not very
comfortable, nor nice to look at.  Below shown next to similarly mediocre
"Kailh original" white keycaps.
