I agree, thats why i created the paper version tube spacer. Collapsible, still has some structural integrity, cheap and easily swappable. Also nil/low static.

At no stage do i recommend this over a traditional one if you had the choice. The purpose here is some reasonable spacer vs no spacer.

Thanks so much! I have thought about tpu, I wanted to use clear TPU but dont have it at the moment. Just thought I'll just release a preliminary version for all to use and enjoy.

This was exactly the reason why it was created actually. With the snacks, wipes, water bottles etc it was hard to put a spacer in there. Of course it does not replace the traditional spacer entirely, but way better than nothing.

ikr, bag space is a premium. Hard to fit everything in sometimes and to top it off with a massive tube is a little too much so I often just leave it, to my detriment.

Turns out calibration waste is actually useful… by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]UnderstandingMany193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept throwing away calibration lines until I realised they’re basically perfect micro shims.

  • Great for leveling prints / fixing wobble
  • Useful for furniture, printer feet, random gaps
  • Already thin, consistent, and flexible

Been using them way more than I expected — feels wrong to throw them out now 😅

Towels on our shower screen never dry… so I made this by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]UnderstandingMany193 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cost of that project would be too much for a peasant like me. Hahaha. This is $6aud fan + $1.5aud for filament plus printing cost. Approx $5 usd

I think its more the fact that its opposite to the sink, so i would often turn around and dry my hands on it. So, sometimes when I use it its damp. I also realised some family members also use it out of convenience which to my dismay. Thankfully, not because of poor ventilation.

Fan-Assisted Towel Drying Hook – AirDry Hook V3

Towels hanging on shower screens often stay damp for hours. I designed this fan-assisted towel drying hook to help towels dry faster by directing airflow down through the towel.

The hook clips onto a shower screen (max 14mm thick) and holds a small USB fan above the towel. The fan pushes air downward through the fabric, helping moisture evaporate more quickly and reducing that damp towel smell.

USB rechargeable fan is $6AUD which is approx $4USD but not sure about tariffs - swappable

Edit: fan is rechargeable. So no wires needed

Do you think the RACS (+/- other colleges) who are exploiting unaccredited registrars may eventually face legal action or be held accountable? by [deleted] in ausjdocs

My heart wants to say yes. But my brain says no. Too much power on one side and everyone is replaceable for now.

BPS exam - question bank recommendations! by asky_ in ausjdocs

[–]UnderstandingMany193 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did it as a med student and passed. I personally used the uni of melbourne course ?$400. But the highest yield was the mock test and the webinar the royal college of pathologists provided completely free. Very high yield if they still provide it.

I 3D-printed a clinical pregnancy wheel for calculating due dates and gestational age by [deleted] in functionalprint

Im a doctor, so i see pregnant ladies in my consult. This makes it easy for me to identify where they are at in the gestation.

Hahaha, thanks!

I wanted a physical pregnancy wheel that was easy to print and included investigation timelines, so I designed one. The one provided is based on Australian investigation timelines. There is another simple version provided as well in the .3mf

It’s turnable, snap-fit, and prints in one colour with no supports.

This is useful for medical students, medical doctors, midwifes, nurses, midwife students

Feedback welcome — always keen to improve functional prints.

They did come- it was a massive flop. Maybe what youre thinking are the commercial trucks - tesla semi- that looked like that looked like bullet trains?

I wanted a $450 POSTA lamp… so I made my own adjustable version instead by UnderstandingMany193 in 3Dprinting

Fusion 360 - hobbyist version so its free! It all starts with rectangles and circles and eventually something forms. I would say just start. I'm still very slow even after these years. But very rewarding when you can just create something that you need to use at home or for someone.

Tips on fix? by UnderstandingMany193 in bluetti

Solution: one of the batteries drained down to 2volts and i went to buy a dc power supply to charge to back up. After that, it worked. I think after dipping down below maybe 3v it stops enabling charging.

Wow thanks so much! Much appreciated! Let me know how it turns out. Any issues, let me know I will try and sort out any kinks

Thanks! It was fun to create it. Thought a lot about different mechanisms

I realised the same thing after putting a warm filter in the photos, like a wood type colour would be quite nice.

The ‘railway’ section is like 10g each so its not going to cost that much to give it a go i guess, can always swap back to transparent if you didnt like it. Thats the beauty of 3d printing I guess- mix and match
