I keep a number of test meters in my "electrical" tool bag, all of which use AA or AAA batteries. I don't like leaving them in the meters because I forget (I'm at that age!) and they eventually leak. You can't keep them in a tin (thought about that - bad idea) so what to do?
How about this?
I had an old "Chinese" Phillips head screwdriver knocking about which I broke up, printed a new handle for, and made a screwdriver the size of an AA battery - now I've always got a small screwdriver to change the batteries when I need it...

I'm Larry and I'm retired from too many things. I'm pushing 74 but like to learn new things. Just started with 360 two weeks ago. I'm on lesson 20 of 30 day series for beginners.
I am a mentor for a high school robotics class and am learning 360 for use therein. My grandson is in the class and we are learning it together along with 3-D printing and the ardurino.
Looking forward to mastering 360.

Here's is one component of a larger project, it is a ball clamp for the end of a threaded rod, with hardware incorporated directly from McMaster-Carr. All components of the project will be printed on my Ender 3 Pro with NylonX, a carbon fiber infused nylon filament.
One of the things that I find I’m doing more and more with Fusion 360 and my 3D printer is “upcycling”, making items that give new life and purpose to old stuff. Take the bracket/clamp illustrated for example.
On its own it does nothing, but add a second bracket, a “floor tile lifter” from a previous life as a network engineer, my old Digital SLR camera, part of an even older tripod, a 2.5mm headphone jack and cable, a Raspberry Pi and a 2 relay module, mix in a smattering of BASH script and what have you got?
A window mountable time-lapse camera…
There is an ulterior motive to this project, I’m about ready to demolish my dad's 65-year-old garage and build a new workshop in its place and I wanted a photographic record of doing so. And other than the printed brackets everything was "lying around" at home.
I’m terrible at remembering to do stuff like this so what better than to upcycle something that will do it all for me taking pictures every 10 minutes from 7:30 in the morning till 8:00 at night...

This is my entry for the smart home accessory competition. An Echo Dot stand incorporating a headphone stand. I have included 3 designs: Marvel Avengers, Mandala and Music.
My dad always used to say “everyone has a building project in them”. This will be my third…
Having moved into the family home with my late wife Gloria some twenty years ago we undertook a number of building projects. One that we never got around to was rebuilding the garage dad constructed circa 1960.
With Gloria now sadly gone it's down to me to do this on my own (well - with a little help with the footings and slab).
The original garage was suffering badly with subsidence and the weather and was well past economic repair, so I’m knocking it down...
Once that’s done and new footings have been built and a slab poured, it's out with the first-fix-nailer and I’m on the way to a new workshop!
Fusion may seem an odd choice for designing a timber building but whilst it was somewhat painful at times (featheredge springs to mind) my “Personal License” is free, I know my way around the basics pretty well, I could produce drawings as needed, and most importantly, I wanted a Bill Of Materials for ordering timber and sheet materials.
Producing a design suitable for BOM output had its quirks, mainly trying to avoid using “mirrors” and “copy new”. Additionally, I started to see small errors (probably rounding errors) appearing with "extrude" in particular which needed to be accounted for but with a little patience, I got there in the end…

My Stand&Storage for Google Home Mini, modeled with Fusion 360

The model impersonates the Smart Assistant and looks like it's talking to you, isn't it?
