Post subject:  3D Printing - Designs, Tools and Ideas

I have designed various 3D printed tools and items to help me out during my Mini restoration and since 3D printers seem ubiquitous, I thought it would be great for the community to have a thread where we can share links. If you have your own, or find any designs that you'd like to share, please post them.

Some of my designs (from my Printables profile https://www.printables.com/@Mearcat/models) :

Door clamp - This tool helps hold the door while fitting/adjusting them. Suits wind-up and sliding window models

Fantastic Alan, I have made heaps of special tools for the minis but never 3D printed ones.(Puts hand up as a 3d printer Ludite).
Thanks for sharing.

Some good ones in there that i hadnt come across! Awesome stuff.

I made an entire set of dimple dies with 100% infill (took 40h of printing) but worth it.

Other stuff like vice jaws and small tool holders has made working in the shed that much nicer.

Does anyone with a 3D printer have the capacity to print me a few things at my cost?

I’ve made my own stl file and trying to refine the design. I’d also be interested in one of the ram pipes linked above
