I normally live in the real world but I like to escape to the 3D printing world where conventional rules don’t apply and your thoughts can become a reality.

Now there is a Galaxy Edge themed back plate for the push button switch plate covers I made previously. I also added a rotary dimmer option to it too.

This looks so good on my wall, I'm going to have to make more! Its a fun little LED project made easy utilizing prewired LED's and a 2x12 distribution board. I used @Polymaker_3D Transparent PETG for the lenses and Metallic PLA for for the rest.

Have you guys seen these single LED's lights, they only cost $.28 each?!?! They are amazing! I incorporated them into a mini lightsaber. For literally $.50 in materials total, you can make a flashlight with on/off control.

The push button switch plate cover I made to match the control panel I just released is ready to be downloaded!
I made 1-4 gang, and bunch of button options. There's a standard and a over plate version that goes over a CE or UL rated plate too.

I just uploaded the STL's for the first control panel on @thangs3d.bsky.social. I had so much fun with this project, and I have more space on my wall so expect more designs like this to come. I'm also thinking about a lighted, multi-part version.🤔

I told my daughter a while ago, I would never print her another a full size Master Sword after having a couple of failed attempts.😢 Then I realized that I can design my own! I think I made this version a little easier to print and assemble.

Gift Box #1 and #7 had a baby and it may not only be the most complex mechanism I put in a gift box yet, but its probably the hardest one to solve. There is also the most satisfying snap.

If you fancy a gear box on the back of your presents, then Gift Box #23 might be the one for you! The center of the bow spins with the sun gear unlatching the top. The top prints in place, bows are printed separately for color.

My family has been wanting a new star for years so I finally designed one. It prints in multi parts in vase mode so its clear and doesn't require supports. If you want to print one for your tree, its free on Printables.

I took a vacation day to work on gift box #24!🤘 I want to see what would happen if #1 and #7 got freaky and had a baby.
To bad a important work meeting popped up this morning so I'm almost four work hours in on my day off, but now its time to have a blast designing this thing!

Gift box #22 is on @thangs3d.bsky.social. When TJ opened this one he said "Man, there is a lot of ways to open a gift box!" 😁
I decided to make a second version of this box too. One version you push the side to open it, the other twists. The snap is so satisfying.

I made Agen Kolar’s collapsing lightsaber but the stl's are split up so you can also make Shaak Ti's as well. It's designed to print a few different ways depending on the type of printer you have too.

After #21 gift boxes I finally got smart enough to label them. I guess I need to go back and do the original ones too....
BTW... This @sovol.bsky.social Forest Rainbow PLA makes for some amazing looking gift boxes.

The first gift box of 2025! 🎁Its #21 and it's much easier to open if you have four hands, or a friend to help you. If you don't have any friends, there is a second version that can be opened alone.

This modular display utilizes a cut to length LED strip which allows you to build a display from two to as many lightsabers you want. Mine holds 25!
That feeling every time I make a new lightsaber to add to the collection.😁
