Korben Dallas prop blaster from the movie The Fifth Element. I had to knock this up really quickly in time for a party, and both the design and prints are only the first iterations!

Coin Lock Release Tool
Ever needed to get trolley at the supermarket but never had any change? This life-changing tool that attaches to your keys will save you every time.
Water Bottle Drainage Stand
This nifty stand holds your water bottle upright so it can drain completely after rinsing. This is achieved by standing on the level bench surface, with a spout extending into the sink for drainage.
JANSJÖ-MALM Bed Frame Adapter
I designed a 3D printable adapter that makes the Ikea JANSJÖ reading light compatible with the MALM bed, as I was astonished to find that after buying both, they’re not compatible with each other!
Spice Rack
This simple 4 position spice rack sticks neatly to a wall, allowing you to store you spices in a highly visible location.
Mini Blind Pull Hook
I designed this Mini Blind Pull Hook because I have really low external blinds and using the pole is actually a bit awkward. This pull hook can hang discretely near the blinds inside your house for maximum convenience. It’s really straight forward to 3D print, requiring just two M5x20mm bolts & nuts for assembly
Christmas KK Dachshund
Gifts are so much nicer when they’re personalised, and nothing is more personal than a creepy Dachshund model with your loved ones face on it. Merry Christmas!
Wall Mounted Peg
A single wall mounted peg for miscellaneous storage, and in my case, used to hang a fire blanket in the kitchen.
Whiteboard Marker Tray
This is a super simple stick on tray for whiteboard markers and related items.
Ear Plug Case Internal Gripper
I love my set of reusable ear plugs which I take to just about every gig now. I’d use them every time too if they weren’t constantly getting stuck in their case. This gripper attaches to the lid of the existing case making the storage of these ear plugs frustration free.
Wall Mounted Utensil Pegs
This bracket mounts to a vertical surface with tape and features three pegs for hanging utensils. Simply print more for a scalable storage solution.
Aeropress Holder
This handy set of wall mounted holders is a great way to both proudly display your Aeropress and keep all the bits organised too.
Laser Cut Coaster Caddy
These two intersecting laser-cut acrylic halves create an unobtrusive caddy that is perfect for holding and displaying my collection of vintage coasters.
Hexagonal S-hook
Why would you buy S-hooks when you can print you own for next to nothing in material cost?!
Magnetic Knife Holder
A stick on magnetic knife holder using small disc magnets. Two part design that is easy to print and doesn’t require any post-processing.
Shower Rail Peg
A single piece peg with integrated hook for hanging your towels from your shower rail if you have a shower-over-bath setup to help your towels dry faster.
DIY Laser-Cut Baby Mobile
For a recent baby shower I wanted to give a personal gift, so I decided to make a baby mobile for my friends future child. All of the parts were laser-cut from MDF and hand painted with acrylic paints. This was a really simple way to give a meaningful gift through personalisation that I hope will inspire their child to reach for the stars.
Ergonomic Monitor Riser and Laptop Cooling Stand
Having a laptop and fixed office setup requires additional space that often comes at a premium. Using a laser cutter and some plywood, I was able to produce a simple monitor riser to improve ergonomics and reduce desk clutter in one package. This design can be easily replicated by anyone with access to CNC cutting tools or a really steady hand and a jigsaw!
Designing For Iteration
When I recently broke a friends lawn mower throttle, I again seized on the opportunity to replace it with a 3D printed part. However, this time I decided to do things differently and designed for iteration from the begining. By designing for iteration I was able to play to the strengths of the manufacturing process to get a fast and accurate outcome. In this post I discuss in more detail about changing the design mindset to suit 3D printing.
Single Iteration Battery Holder
As familiarity with additive manufacturing increases, it's possible to produce functional parts after a single iteration. This is great for quickly making simple parts, especially for single use applications.
