My skills with SolveSpace continue to improve. Also, my pull request to implement text kerning was merged, so I’m officially a contributor to that project.
In June I designed these battery organizers. A lot of battery organizers already exist, but almost all of them are tall whereas I wanted something to fit in the drawer in the kitchen (where we previously organized our batteries in a cardboard box). They’re not perfect, but they’re good enough. The angle they sit on probably needs to be steeper to encourage them to roll forward better.
The labeling on the front of each was completed in Bambu Studio after designing the rest in SolveSpace.
The fabric on one of my speakers has been coming off one side for a long time now. It’s under tension so I’m not sure how I could glue it back on effectively, but I designed and printed some clips that are doing a pretty good job of holding it in place.
At some point I realized we were missing out on a great home-customization possibility: light-switch plates! I found existing plate models someone shared and started putting designs on them. It’s fun. The girls picked out some dragons for their rooms. I made a tree for the living room, a butterfly near the front door, and a lighthouse in the kitchen.
The multi-color ones take some work because you have to put each color in separate SVGs and then align them correctly on the model.
I also discovered that the switch box in the living room is not aligned with the plane of the drywall, so to get my switch plate to sit flush against the wall I had to make it deeper and then cut the back off (in the model, not physically) at an angle to match so that it didn’t leave noticeable gaps on one side.
I think these are super fun.
