A keyring that opens without a metal split ring, printed as one piece with nothing to assemble. The flat band is broken once, and across that break the two ends lap through the ring's own thickness - the socket keeps the lower half, the near end the upper, with a quarter of a millimetre of air between them - so the finished ring reads as one band with a hairline in it rather than two pieces butted together. What holds it shut is the gate's own end, narrowed to a tongue: the band's inner and outer edges step down either side of it, and the tongue carries a rounded bump underneath that sits in a seat cut into the socket. Flex the ring apart and the bump rides up its own rounded side, which is a detent and not friction; let go and it drops back in. The tongue is relieved with a round hole at its root, because that is where it bends when you press it up to open the ring. Flex it, thread your keys on, squeeze it shut. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first batch comes off the printer.

A bag peg that works like a clothes peg: two arms on a printed pin, so the ends you squeeze and the jaws are on opposite sides of the pivot, and squeezing opens the jaws. A disc on the upper arm turns inside a socket on the lower one, printed in place with a quarter of a millimetre of air round it - press the peg open and you can feel the pin move. Behind it one strip sweeps round and back to the other arm as a scroll you can see through, and that scroll is the spring: it closes the jaws and it is what you feel working when you squeeze. The mouth is a square-wave channel cut through both jaws at once, so the two sets of teeth come from the same cut and interlock - every tooth of one jaw stands in the hollow of the other - and along the outside of each arm, where a thumb goes, a row of sawteeth bites into the silhouette so the peg does not slip in your hand. It prints flat as one piece, no supports, nothing to assemble. PLA holds fine; PETG survives the dishwasher and takes more flexing. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A heart that sits on top of a straw, wide and low, catching the light as the cup moves. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A mini hockey stick for your keys, printed flat in one piece and shaped like the real thing: a shaft that tapers, a blade turned off it at the lie a real stick uses, a heel that rounds into the shaft and a toe that narrows and leans back. The name is cut into the blade along its length, where a stick carries its brand, and roxium.ca is cut along the shaft underneath - both personalized rather than raised, because a keychain gets rattled around in a pocket and raised lettering wears off first. Type the name you want while you are adding it to the cart and it is cut for you - up to 10 characters, +$5 a piece, charged on top of whatever the stick costs, the volume rate included. A personalized stick is cut to order, so it is paid online rather than reserved for cash at pickup. Leave the name blank and it comes with ROXIUM on the blade. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is cut.

Two bands that print as one piece: the finned outer ring's ridge sits in the inner band's groove, so it is locked on but free to spin, with no bearings and nothing to assemble. The groove is a BALL RACE - a circular channel, with the ridge as the same circle held 0.4 mm off it - so the surfaces the two parts face each other across are vertical, which is what lets it print in place and still turn. The ring is 27 mm across and stands 7 mm, and the fins are trapezoids: wide where they join the sleeve, narrow at the tip, so nothing on it is a blade waiting to be knocked. It comes in three sizes, 16.5 mm (US 6), 18.2 mm (US 8) and 19.8 mm (US 10) across the finger hole, all at the same price, and the download is a 3MF with a plate for each, so you can print whichever fits - or all three. Print it with a brim and z-hop switched on: a small ring has a small footprint, and z-hop keeps a moving nozzle clear of what is already printed. The STL on its own is the smallest of the three. The photo is a render of the printable model - real photos of the print go up once the first batch comes off the printer.

A bow that clips onto a straw: the straw runs through the middle and the bow sits above the lid. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Wet gloves dry upside down on six tapered, vented posts, over a 4x10 inch floor vent. A glove's cuff slides over a post so warm air from the register goes up through the post and through the glove, drying the inside as well as the out - which is the part that stays wet. The tray is a colander: a lip catches a dribble of water, and a grid of drain holes lets the air up and the water down, and each post drains through its own cup. Bottles and cups fit the posts just as the old stand's did. Sized to sit inside a 4 by 10 inch register, printed in one piece with no supports and nothing to assemble. The photo is a render of the printable model - real photos of the print go up once the first batch comes off the printer.

A six-can holder that spins: six runners hold the cans and the base turns, and it uses very little filament for its size. Four pieces. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A phone stand with a woodgrain surface that all but disappears behind the phone, so what you see is the screen standing on the desk rather than the stand holding it. A deep groove with a lipped front edge takes a phone upright for video calls or on its side for standBy and night-clock mode, and it fits anything from a small handset up to a Pro Max. Printed in PLA at 0.2 mm layers, 15% infill, no supports. It is designed for a wood-fill filament, which gives it the grain it is named for, though any matte colour prints just as well. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

Five heart shapes, each layered front to back so the colours read as depth: black sits at the back as the outline and the two layers in front are yours to choose, so one colour is the simplest and three makes it pop. Pick the shape you want - each is about 1.6" by 1.5", with a loop for a keyring or a chain. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A fold-over bag clip in one piece, with nothing to assemble: two slim bars on a round hinge, and a hook at the far end that shuts them. Roll the bag's neck over, slide it in side-on between the bars, and press the hook home - the knob at the end of the curl rides over the upper bar's tip and drops into the groove cut behind it, so the clip is held shut by the hook and not by the moulding. Flex the curl back off the tip and it opens again. The hinge is a disc with a hole through it, so the clip hangs on a keyring or a cup hook when it is not on a bag. It prints flat as a single piece with no supports, and PLA holds fine while PETG survives the dishwasher and takes more flexing. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first batch comes off the printer.

A 608 bearing that prints already assembled - the races, the balls and the cage all come off the plate as one piece, and it turns as soon as you break it free. 22 mm across, 7 mm thick, the size a fidget spinner or a skate wheel takes. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Jerryie

A flat key tag that holds the key by its bow rather than its ring, so it lies flat in a pocket and does not rattle. 2.2" long, about 1 g of plastic, printed in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Katejot2017

A hose clamp you print instead of buying: a ring with a screw lug that tightens onto a hose or a duct. Four sizes, measured across the clamp - 33 mm, 40 mm, 60 mm and 88 mm - each printed in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A pocket divot tool with a ball marker that sits in the handle: the fork lifts the green back into shape, the marker pops out to mark your line. 2.7" long, printed as two pieces. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by bitclicker

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.

Design by eclien

A bag clip shaped like a cat, with a spring jaw that holds a chip bag or a coffee pouch shut. 1.6" across, printed in place in one piece - the hinge comes off the plate already working. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Muuurt

A teepee that holds the spare rolls: two printed panels hinged into a tent, a base that keeps it square and three dowels that peg it together, with a roll inside. 6" across and 5.3" tall, printed in panels and assembled - the modular system, in the size that fits a small printer. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by ThePhilosopher

A bit holder that clips to a Ryobi ONE+ battery: the mount takes the loose bits you are using and keeps them on the drill, so they travel with the tool rather than in a pocket. 2.1" long, printed in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Terrain 6

A hook remover with a forked end for backing a hook out and a flat end for pushing it through - the tool that means you do not put your fingers near the point. 4.8" long, printed flat in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by eclien

A cap that turns a jar into a fruit washer: fill it, shake, and the water spins the berries clean instead of bruising them. The cap and its inner piece print together in one go - size L fits a standard wide jar. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by ValeraPerinski

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.

Design by PenguinPrototypes

A workshop set of ISO 4017 hex-head screws in M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8 and M10, each size on its own plate, so you print the sizes you need and keep a jar of spares. The whole set is seven plates and about 55 g of plastic; the M10 is 2.8" long. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Jerryie

A Christmas cookie stamp and its matching cutter: press the stamp into the dough and the outline cuts clean around it, so the icing has a line to follow. 3.1" across, printed as two pieces - stamp and cutter. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by P2T

The topsy tail tool: a loop on a stem that pulls a ponytail through itself, so you can make the flip without a second pair of hands. 7.0" long, printed flat in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Cy-Bea

Shims for levelling a cabinet, packing a hinge or shimming a door frame. One plate is four shims - 42 x 89 mm, one each at 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm thick - so you pick the thickness that squares the job up instead of stacking paper. Shown as a render, not a photo.
