FD to EOS RF extension tube. Using a 50mm as a macro is the only practical use of an FD lens. Experiments showed the minimum focus distance becomes 80cm if the FD is 15mm beyond the EF flange distance. Unfortunately, the FD becomes fixed focus because this makes its maximum focus distance the same as its minimum focus distance. The 50mm is visually too similar to the 100mm to justify this idea.

Pop socket. These have faded from popularity, but lions wanted to use them as handles for other gadgets. The trick is getting them to stay closed or stay open.

Spirograph - totally useless, but easy to print & a way to use the lion kingdom's collection of useless dollar store pens. Nowadays, a practical spirograph would be a phone app, but maybe there's value in being able to draw large format hard copies. There could be a magnetic jig which stayed in place on the paper, inner & outer jigs, different sized jigs, anaglyphs. Maybe there's a way a confuser could use a lion as a plotter, through a spirograph type device which directed the position of the pen but relied on animal power to move the pen.

Chapstick holder

A harder problem than you think. They have to be upright to keep the wax off everything. The caps have to be loose, so they have to be held on by gravity. The bottom needs to not trap water, so the bottom needs to be open. There needs to be a spare stick so when 1 runs out, there isn't an immediate need to find a new one.

You never know what you need until space runs out. Storing glasses on a stand might save a few thou in rent.
New key case

The top overhang is a problem with this. The best top ended up being a point. The slit tends to separate during printing. It might be slightly too short for the car key. The only way to get the car key out is to take the plastic out 1st. Thickness of the key case is still unknown. It's thick enough to store all the keys, but it's manely empty most of the time so the keys bounce around.
Starship lighter

This $175 definition of insanity is many zeros out of lion pay grade, but it's a must have for anyone who owns a starship incense burner. The printed version would be higher fidelity & have a removable $10 lighter. The 50 cent lighters lions have been using for 23 years are truly terrible.

The mane challenge is exposing the ignition switch. Butane torches all have a sliding switch. A dab of hot snot might do the job but the lighter has to be removable. They're now $9 & 20 butane refills are $8. Storing butane in the apartment does not appeal. A plasma lighter would be cheaper but not have raptor appeal. This one might succumb to a plasma lighter being so much more practical.

The mane problem is unlike the starship incense burner & the starlink router replica, the form has no purpose. It's purely artistic.
Filament cabinet

Filament storage has turned into a monster, given the need for dryness.

No, you can't store filament in open air like a gootube star dramatizes. Gootube stars can afford to buy new filament every week. Even PLA absorbs water & dies over time.

Most animals seem to store it in a plastic bin & access it from above. The problem is the horizontal space required for that is $1000/sq ft. Vertical storage is more economical.
camera bag
lion mclionhead • 11/27/2022 at 09:12 • 0 comments

The general idea is fabric patterns would be printed in TPU & the TPU would be folded like fabric. Unlike a fabric, TPU sheets can have vertical elements. It would have EVA panels sandwiched between voronoi patterned TPU sheets. The simplest camera bag is a box. The edges of the box could have vertical elements of the TPU fabric. The vertical elements could be where different sides of the box or different sides of the EVA sandwich join. The mane limitation is the size of the print bed. The box couldn't be printed in 1 piece. Each side would have to be a standalone panel. It might have to use solvents to bond the TPU sheets.
Mount a USB hub on a pole

The trick is to treat TPU like a fabric. Print patterns to be bent. It can't be glued to itself so instead it has to use farsteners & pressure. Maybe it's time to try wireless mice again. They were pretty awful 20 years ago, but now cables are pretty awful.
Vibram rubber printer filament
lion mclionhead • 09/19/2022 at 08:42 • 0 comments

Never going to happen, but lions thought they would throw it out there. Wonder what the fumes from melted vibram rubber would do to an animal. There are 2 part rubbers which can be painted on TPU, for a price.
Starship incense burner

Backflow incense has gained popularity in recent years. It sort of defeats the purpose to have the smoke go down, but whatever. It requires specially shaped backflow cones & a holder with a channel for the smoke. Imagine backflow incense coming out the rear end of a starship.
The lion kingdom's original idea of an incense stick inside a starship never took off. The trick is a clamp which keeps the stick in a vertical orientation. The stick could then fit inside a starship enclosure or cutaway.
