They’re surprisingly durable, but who knows in real life. Printed in PETG for extra strength.

It’s an X2… a perpetually broken X2 lol. Going to buy some more hardware for it today to continue the repair.

I do this with my floofy cat every day lol. Usually it’s fine, sometimes I get… THE CLAW.

Also, I designed the flashlight (mini maglite) holder myself and I’m proud of it.

Thanks. Debating if I should switch to translucent green or purple for some other holders or stick with this pink/red for all of them.

I still need to mount a hex bit holder, and come up with a holder for the bit driver as well. I want to make this paper towel holder too, but my first try broke when trying to separate the print-in-place moving parts:

Bed and extruder both seem too hot for PETG, but it depends on your exact brand/type of filament. Are you using a textured/satin sheet? Glue stick on a smooth sheet is pretty unreliable. Some brands of PETG seem more prone to contracting while cooling than others too (avoid “Kaaber” on Amazon, it was pretty bad hah).

Also make super sure your bed is clean. Washing with dawn liquid dish soap, drying carefully, then wiping with high-roof rubbing alcohol works best for a new sheet.

Mine just shipped today, after waiting three months exactly. Pretty excited.

It looks super stringy, did you dry the PETG first? I like the result though.
