Smart tools for storage, walls and desks. 20 items
For people who want to line up canned drinks in a fridge or on a shelf so they are easy to take out. A can placed on a rail inclined about 6 degrees rolls to the end under its own weight, and a claw at the end stops it so you take one at a time. Use two side by side and fix them with wall screws.
For people who want to keep extension cords or vacuum cords tidy by the wall. The cord winds on the central hub, and flanges on both sides are designed to keep the cord from slipping off; the wall screw is fastened from inside the hub. The front flange is pushed in and attached last.
For people who want to add as many shelves for displaying small items on the wall as they like. Each is a hexagon with an outer diameter of about 200mm, and the tabs and receivers on the sides mesh like dovetails, designed to connect in a honeycomb. Each tile has a keyhole slot on its top edge and hangs on the wall with a screw.
For people who want to leave potted plants unwatered during trips or business trips. Water is stored in a reservoir placed at the bottom of the pot, and a wick threaded through the wick holder carries it to the soil. The outer diameter is set by number to the pot's bottom diameter, and you prepare the wick separately. The water level can be checked through the window at the top.
For people who want to hang a bag or jacket temporarily at the side of a desk. A press-fit type that clamps the edge of the desktop between upper and lower arms, with a small claw on the lower arm to resist coming off; there is no screw tightening. The desktop thickness is assumed to be about 25mm.
For people who want to use a laptop slightly tilted on a bed or sofa. The top plate and two legs are joined with pins and fold flat. The leg opening angle has two settings, about 40 degrees and about 60 degrees, by swapping the stopper pin. Fix the pins with glue or similar.
For people who want to keep a pen and a phone together on a desk. The phone leans in a slanted slot tilted back about 25 degrees, and three pen holes line up beside it. The slot width and hole diameters can be changed in the dimension values.
For people who want to organize small items such as pins and SD cards in a desk drawer. The lid sits in a dovetail groove and opens when pulled out toward you; no hinge or latch is needed. The inner size is about 60x40x20mm and can be adjusted by changing the values.
For people who do not want hex bits for screwdrivers scattered on a workbench. Ten 6.35mm hex holes are lined up in two rows and tilted back about 15 degrees, so the bit heads line up where they are easy to grasp. The holes are about 15mm deep along the shaft direction.
For people who want to freely change where tools and small items hang on a pegboard. The pegs on the back plate fit into two holes spaced 25.4mm apart, and three hook types (straight, L-shaped and U-shaped) are included. The pegs are held by friction, so prepare a separate way to prevent them coming out.
For people who have nowhere to put pot lids in a kitchen cupboard. It is screwed to the inside of the door, and lids stand vertically in five grooves about 12mm wide. The divider spacing can be changed by values, and it is fixed with the screw holes in the tabs of the back plate. Prepare the screws separately.
For people who want to hang a jacket or towel on the top edge of a door. It straddles the top edge of the door, the inner width suits a door thickness of about 35mm, and two tiers of hooks line up on the outside. For a different door thickness, change the values and print again. Sticking felt on the surfaces that touch the door can reduce scratches.
For people who sand wood or models with sandpaper pressed on a flat surface. The sandpaper wraps around the bottom face and is clamped at both ends between pressing plates and screws, in a grip-equipped structure. Two pressing plates are printed, for left and right, and you prepare the screws separately.
For people who want to keep the opening of an opened snack or frozen food bag closed. It uses no spring; the left and right arms, molded in one piece, flex to clamp the bag opening. The flange has countersunk holes so it can be attached to a wall or shelf side with screws. The width is about 40mm, and no rubber band is used.
For people who want to fit a bowl for a dog or cat that eats its food too fast. A circular maze-like divider is placed inside the bowl, and ribs spreading from the central hub are designed to limit the area the mouth can reach. The dimensions are for a bowl with an inner diameter of about 180mm.
Caution
For people who want to catch drips from a wet umbrella at the entrance. Divider rings for each umbrella are placed in a shallow tray so umbrellas stand separately; print as many rings as the number of umbrellas. The bottom of each ring has a notch for water to pass.
For people who want to stand razors and brushes on a bathroom wall to drain. The shelf board has three holes of about 22mm diameter and one hole of about 16mm, and items are placed by inserting them. The shelf surface has drainage grooves, and the back plate is screwed to the wall.
Caution
For people who want to store drill bits from 1mm to 10mm in a way that makes them easy to find by thickness. Holes matching each diameter are lined up in two rows, with the diameter number recessed in front of each hole. Bits are inserted standing, and you take them out by pinching with your fingers.
For people who want to rotate and take out seasoning jars at the back of a shelf. It uses no bearing; it is a two-part structure in which a ring-shaped ridge on the lower base slides in a groove on the upper top plate. It is sized for five jars of about 60mm diameter, and the central axle sets the position.
For people who want to bundle leftover charging cables under a desk. A post stands at the center of the base, and the spool snaps on when fitted. The cable winds on the winding part, and the end is held in a slit. The base is screwed to the underside of the desk.
