The tool wall is finished! IKEA BESTÅ, SKÅDIS, UPPDATERA, and a whole lot of 3D modeling and printing.
I bought the furniture last November. I built the furniture in December. I spent the next six months modeling the custom hangers, and today I published all the 3D printed parts to Printables. Done done. Hooray!

This amused me. It's a fridge magnet.

New YouTube video Tuesday! It's a reversible two-omni-wheel omni-directional bike!
I bought a pair of three-blade coax stripping tools because I want to make more of my own cables for #HamRadio. However, the insert style that came with them is only for RG58 and RG59. So I pulled out #FreeCAD and calipers, modeled a blank, then cloned the blank and made a version with cutouts sized for cutting RG316 and RG400, and now I'm #3DPrinting it. I don't think the design will actually work for both cable types without adjustment by just swapping the unit upside down, though. I'm expecting to have to adjust it each time I swap it.
Or... just print two and put one in each stripper. They aren't super expensive at ~$8/unit, so buying another pair and designing and printing a few more of these adapters at ~3g of plastic each, one for each type of cable I actually use, makes sense. I can use the label maker for each cable stripper to know what kind of coax it is intended for. Then I can leave the blades adjusted for each type. I can even keep each stripping tool with my stash of that cable type!
I'm expecting to have to file these blocks to fit, because I won't get tight inside corners in the print. Speaking as a hobby machinist, I'm OK with that, I have to file metal parts after I make them, too!
But first, I may need to experiment to get the right angle for the seat that holds the wire. The correct angle for the injection molded part that shipped with the tools might not be the correct angle for something that is #3DPrinted, so I might have to iterate a few times. That's OK, it's about 3g per unit.
After I have it working, I do of course plan to share the model. As always, the original FreeCAD files as well as the rendered files for printing.

One of my recent projects has been creating a #solar powered #aeroponics (similar to #hydroponics) 3D printed vertical tower #garden.
It uses a popular modular #3dprinted tower design where water is pumped up a central column and allowed to cascade down over the roots of the growing plants.
Usually people attach their towers to mains but I wanted to make it solar powered and also report data back to my home #grafana dashboard.
Finally got round to documenting the progress - https://git.solarcene.community/smallsolar/VerticalGarden
