Tackle Box Clip
Chris Krueger, Arlington Heights, IL
I bought a tackle box to help organize all
my electrical components. Unfortunate-
ly, it was missing a clip. I fixed my prob-
lem by modeling a replacement from
photos of the existing clip and caliper
measurements. The replacement actual-
ly snaps tighter than the original, so I re-
placed them both!

Soda Tab Bender
Sean Michael Ragan, Austin, TX
I have this trick of making chain mail
from soda can tabs. The tabs have to be
bent first, and the mail looks best if
they're all bent to exactly the same an-
gle. So I designed and printed a custom
jaw insert for an off-the-shelf pair of jew-
eler's pliers that bends the tabs exactly
the same way each time.

Router Collar Adapter
Bozo Cardozo, Ketchum, ID
My old Bosch 1611 is a killer router, but
it's 20 years old and almost impossible
to find parts for. I couldn't find a stock
pattern collar adapter, so I just designed
and printed my own.
