  1. So gefällt mir das Utensilo viel besser, alles ist niedlicher mit Gesicht. Und die Wolle kommt nun aus der Schnute.

  2. Heute bin ich endlich Mal dazu gekommen in der @welcomewerkstatt an meinem Projekt Messer-Reperatur zu arbeiten.
    Nach ein paar Jahren sind die Gummigriffe der Messer klebrig gewesen. Da die Messer von einem großen Möbelhaus quasi standardisiert sind kann der Griff einfach durch einen Neuen ausgetauscht und das Messer noch viele Jahre benutzt werden.

  3. I'm losing momentum on the FilaBilly Humidor. I think it's because I'm doubting that the whole thing will work. Anyway, today I spent a few minutes on it. I drilled the holes, fitted the brackets, and attached the center LED channels. Everything went together exactly as planned/prototyped. It even looks good (to me).

  4. @pixelpusher This project is officially finished now. I published the files to Printables.

    Share and enjoy!

  5. @pixelpusher I replaced IKEA's nylon nails with these expanding plugs. I had a clearance issue where the head was hitting the enclosure side, so I redesigned the plug and the drawer wall so they sit flush. The hole down the plug is countersunk for the screw head, so I had to use skinny screws (M2.5).

  6. @pixelpusher This is an IKEA ALEX disassembly tool. I destroyed the side pieces of the first two drawers I took apart. (That's okay, I was throwing those parts away. But I like to be able to undo.) So I made these.

    These purple blocks distribute force across the whole width of the board so that it's less likely to split when I pry them apart. The nylon nails are a lot stronger than the boards. The clamp shaft makes a handy pry bar.

  7. @pixelpusher Here's the "final"* iteration of the support block design. It has spring-loaded wings that clamp it in place against the part it supports. Before the wings, the blocks slid around and the hole perimeters misaligned.

    The space between the wings is 0.4mm too small. I have to bend it pretty hard to clip it on, but nothing's come off the bed yet.

    * final in that I've used them to print 6 of the 12 pieces I need.

  8. Who's got two thumbs* and one ALEX drawer that opens 100%? Thanks to @pixelpusher for the brilliant idea; I just refined it a little.

    I will put the files up on Printables eventually, after I modify the other five drawers.

    * Rhetorical question. I know that the opposable thumb "theory" is woke nonsense.

  9. This weeks stupidity… I made a mini 5u HomeLab for my HomeAssistant and PiHole boxes that sit inside an Ikea storage crate.

    Includes a Pi5 16GB, Pi 3b+, Pi Zero W2 and a Pimoroni Badger for stats.

  10. I created some “art” for my home office using old hardware that’s just sitting around not doing a lot. On the left we have a collection of Raspberry Pi hardware and the right is a shrine to my older Apple devices.

  11. Mal eben schnell einen kleinen Blogbeitrag fertig gemacht. Diesmal ein Teardown des Ikea Solstol NFC Schrankschlosses:

  12. Hier mein ganz bescheidener #Ikea-Hack[1]: Vier niedrige Billys verbinden, Küchenarbeitsplatte draufschrauben und Vitrinentüren versehen; Letztere ferner mit Postkarten eines lokaler Künstlers bestücken[2], die #Hannover zeigen, was aber selbst Ortskundige oft anfangs nicht peilen.

  13. @reece Yesterday I saw that IKEA sells a connected PM2.5/humidity/temperature/tVOC sensor for USD$50: ikea.com/us/en/p/vindstyrka-ai

    But for USD$15, plus some parts and soldering, you can make a PM2.5 sensor that's also connected: learn.adafruit.com/ikea-vindri

  14. CW: caps (ikea name)

    I just grabbed the moment to ask the ex to buy two pieces of the plate stand OSTBIT* from IKEA, because I need them to warp my loom. Some things at that place is just not meant to be used the way they say it should be used.

    (*translation: piece of cheese, because IKEA small pieces' names are an unfathomable mystery.)

  16. I like the ability to quickly create things that a 3D printer and CAD software give me.

    Since I found out that I can easily mount 3D printed stuff to my IKEA PAX with a single screw I attach all kinds of parts to the cabinet.

  17. Yesterday I suddenly imagined building a pergola around my house using IVAR shelves. Now I can't stop thinking about it. Is it completely bonkers or an IKEA hack on the epic scale?

  22. Dear #FediverseHiveMind, I'm looking for some accounts to follow (also #Pixelfed) with content I usually get from Instagram: #cooking, stretching exercises, clothes for regular bodies, #ikeahack, memes about European countries, that type of thing. Any recommendations?

  23. Just done the #ikeaHack #VINDRIKTNING with an esp8266 and #espHome and now it shows in my #homeAssistant

    But I also added a #SCD41 co2, temperature, and humidity sensor.
    They're kinda expensive but they are actually sensing co2 not just estimating it based on other readings. At least I hope so for the cost.

    Will do a blog on it another day, not that this hack needs even more blogs!

    Salvaging tiny wires (not just cells) from vapes is worth it for little jobs like this!

    Here it is under test

  24. I finally got round to sitting down and finishing a #maker project I had to shelf months ago when i moved house.

    Its a #lithophane lantern based on the paintings hanging in stretching room of the #hauntedmansion at #waltdisneyworld

    It was originally a strala lamp from ikea. But i modded it, painted.it replaced.the lighting inside and am really happy with how it came out.

  25. #Ikeahack put a pegboard from ikea onto one of their little trolleys with zip ties for my clay cutters. It’s very nifty, loving it.
