3D Printed under-desk headphone holder
I recently found a 3D model on Thingiverse for an under-desk headphone holder. Unfortunately, it was for a 3/4″ desk, and my desk is 1″ thick, so I quickly threw together my own version in FreeCAD. I’ve uploaded it to …

3D-printing a few things
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about what I’ve been doing with my 3D printer, so I thought I’d do an update. I spent some time going through a series of exercises with FreeCAD, and printed a bunch of …
