My DIY projects out there for the curious souls to see.

     Just recently I had a print tear out a huge chunk of glass out of my print bed. I was printing a cover for my 18650 battery holder and this cover had a large, completely flat surface laying on the glass bed. This is great for surface finish but in my case it stuck too well and took chunks of glass with it when I pulled the print off.  And it had only been two weeks since I made my homemade heated glass bed so I did not feel like throwing it out and making a new one. Fortunately the chunk was not in the middle of the bed but even then I would lose 30-40% of my print area because I would have to avoid the pit caused by the missing glass. But as one wise man said many times - "I'm not havin' it!".     So I hatched a plan to fix the heated bed and to do that I decided to use the cheapest 5-minute epoxy from the grocery store. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? Worst case the epoxy just pulls off the glass with the print and I'm left with exactly w...

       The soft plastic outer shell on my shifter knob broke away and was kind of just hanging on there. Shifting gears wasn't too bad but the plastic shell kept moving up and down on the shifter until it fell off completely leaving me with a sharp white plastic piece that was very awkward to hold.      This seems like a common thing with SAABs because my previous one had the same happen to it too at some point because the outer shell was already gone when I bought it. Back then I just wrapped the remaining plastic bit with black felt tape and called it a day. But now I have a 3D printer, so why not print myself a new knob? And that's exactly what I did.     First I measured up the remaining plastic part, onto which the soft plastic shell was attached. Then I whipped up a design in Fusion360 based on those numbers. I didn't really know what shape was best for a shifter so I just eyeballed it. I think it came out ok but could still be improved...
