Caliper Lock (STL, 1.7kB)
A simple slotted rectangular design that I made to slide onto generic inexpensive calipers while they're closed to keep them from opening. Some of these inexpensive calipers have an auto-on feature when the calipers are opened, but it often triggers too easily when simply handling the device, leading to wasting some energy in the battery. A lot of the calipers at this level are the same design made by all sorts of different companies so this should work for many of them, the one I have tested it on is the Esydon Electronic Digital Caliper.
Flashlight Cover (STL, 15.9kB)
This is a cover for a specific EDC Keychain Flashlight design often called the V3 Mini by a number of different generic brands. It has an opening to allow a loop or keyring to go through. The main purpose of this design is to cover the magnet when not in use and it is thick enough to deter the magnetism so that the flashlight doesn't stick to keys or anything else unnecessarily. It also is just large enough to slip over the USB port area/cover to provide extra protection.
A-Frame Evap Filter Catch/Stand (STL, 3.3kB)
In some A-Frame Evaporator Coil designs in HVAC systems, the drainage tray often sits like a moat around/below the coil. In this design, in some homes, air filters are placed directly against the coil on each side of the "A" and their bottom edge rests against the edge of the drainage tray. In my experience, in times where lots of moisture or drainage is common, this can cause the filters to wick up some of the moisture from the tray. Additionally, it can be easy for these filters, when adjusting them, to slip off of the frame and fall down into the void beside the air handler. Depending on the design of the air return the coil is located in, this can be frustrating. These clips are meant to clip onto the outer edge of the drain tray (example usage image - 26.4kB) and provide two features- a platform for the filters to rest against that elevates them slightly above the tray to reduce moisture wicking, and a slanted catch to keep the filters from slipping or falling when adjusting them.
