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.

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

@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).

@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.

@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.

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.

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

Some stills of the #hauntedmansion #lithophane lantern. It looks great in a dark room but still looks nice even in bright light

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.
