After watching a YouTube video featuring a Peg design by Devin Montes, where he showcased his own pegboard ideas, I was inspired to give it a try. Devin made the CAD file available, and as soon as I saw it, I wanted to hang everything I could. One thing I had plenty of were pill bottles—perfect for holding miscellaneous items. So I immediately set to work printing peg versions to fit the bottles. Before long, I was ready to hang just about everything I could find.
My Dad had an old snow blower that needed a new bearing holder. After some trial and error, I designed a custom part to fit perfectly. My engineer friend also designed a version that was even more robust. I 3D printed both versions and of course I ended up using my friend's design. I can't remember which one of the below was mine, probably the one with the basic shape. I have no idea if it actually held up in use, but it was a fun project.
One of my DIY electronics kit did not come with a knob. I designed a simple knob to fit the dial perfectly. It was a quick and easy project, but it made a big difference in usability.
While building the Ardumower mini (a small robot version of the larger Ardumower), I realized that I needed a better way to mount the ultrasonic sensors. After some brainstorming, I designed a custom holder that would securely fit the sensors and attached to the Robot. The chassis design allowed for easy adjustments.
While building the Ardumower mini (a small robot version of the larger Ardumower), I needed a way to mount the perimeter coil sensor. I designed a easy basic custom holder that would securely fit the sensor. It was pretty much a basic shape, but it worked well.
One of my first designs was a holder for the extension gripper with magnets to hold it on a fridge. I was extremely pleased with myself for designing recessed magnets into the design which would be pretty basic now.
Another one of my first designs was a gauge holder attached to a stepper motor for leveling my first 3D printer bed. Of course I have no idea how to read the gauge lol.
