    Replacement mouthpiece for a vintage flute that had a plastic one.

    Flute pad hole punch aimer thingy so I can make cheap China pads into open-hole ones for not-so-great flutes without having to buy a bunch of open-hole ones (version 1 was already made and proved the idea, now it’s just to iterate).

    E facilitator prototypes before I CNC them (still learning CNC and I don’t like it).

    Flute airstream aimer clip-on thingy for older people who have lost their embochure due to dental operations and such. (after I get the hang of the replacement mouthpiece; this is probably the most difficult one, due to precise mouthpiece shape needed)

    Model for manually engraving the right size & shape replacement piece out of bone, for a badly cracked teapot.

    Spherebot.

    Saw someone make some pretty rehousing casings so you can use vintage lenses with cinema-style housings benefits, that was pretty cool.

    Currently, I’m thinking about ways to make motion for a robotic cat toy that does not make (much) noise. I’ve used servos in the past but they are far too noisy.

    I usually only print my own designs. So, I need to design

    • some better buttons for an enclosure that combines my soldering iron with my hot air station
    • a better tripod for my telescope
    • a dust collection system for a table saw
    • some mounts with a fan to dry wet shoes, gloves, and a helmet
    • a better 2nd monitor arm that extends over my bed
    • I’ve dreamt up a way I want to make an automated bicycle chain cleaning and lubricating machine that cleans and lubes each link pair, each set at a time slowly over the couple of hours and recycles the solution and extra lube, I just need to do the actual design work.

    Those are just a few on my design list.

        I don’t yet, I was working on the prototype this weekend. How soon is his birthday? I can do my best to finish it and share the file in time!

          Please take your time to enjoy the modeling process! His birthday isn’t until late may, and I wouldn’t want to rush you. If you share it whenever it’s ready, I’ll be super happy, thanks.
