A ruler that folds: nineteen 160 mm segments that hinge end to end, plus the two end caps, so it measures a room and then folds down to a pocket. The full set is 19 segments; the smaller option is the same design at 70 per cent, which is the one for a desk drawer. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A top that keeps going: a heavy rim, a fine point and a printed handle to spin it between finger and thumb. 2.1" across, about 41 g of plastic. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A beer crate for batteries, scaled down to sit on a shelf: stacked sides, a slotted top and a handle you can actually lift it by. Holds a row of AA or AAA cells - pick which, they are separate crates. About 2.7" long. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A napkin holder with a voronoi lattice for walls - it holds a stack of napkins and looks like something grown rather than built. 5.1" long, printed in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A thin blade for digging the lint out of a phone's charging port, with a hook at one end and a flat scraper at the other. 34 mm long and a fraction of a gram, so it prints three at a time in a minute - one for the desk, one for the car, one to lose. Shown as a render, not a photo.
