… didn't miss yesterday's #FreeCADfriday – it was just too late for the result: Another example of my minimalistic "why buy when I can create" lamps. This one is for my work desk.

The only thing I actually had to spend money on was a new retro "Bakulit" bulb holder, that threads into nicely.

@freecad Oh it's #freecadfriday already!

Well here's one for the "must you 3D print everything" category.

Our arcade's new toilet has this tiniest of the tiny sink. We've had the soap dispenser on it awkwardly behind the tap while I've been hoping to find some kind of a wall mountable solution. All I could find was those flimsy suction cup mounted ones that you'll find on the floor after a while.

I measured the the space between the wall and the sink and then made this. It fits there snugly and holds the soap bottle where it's actually easy to use from.

Just made some reusable lids for common Crème Brûlée dessert glasses in @freecad . I printed them in PETG with a (colorchange) TPU ring for a flexible snug fit. Printing the top face in PETG is cheaper, faster and I can use various PETG colors as I have more of them.
