MAIN PURPOSE: Hold gingerbread walls square while icing sets

Gingerbread walls never stand up while the icing sets. Put one corner inside each corner of the house, press the two iced walls against its outer faces and they stay square and upright for the twenty minutes the royal icing needs. Print four, one per corner, and lift them out before the roof goes on.

Towel Shackle

MAIN PURPOSE: Keep a tea towel on the oven door

Snap the ring over the oven door bar and push a corner of the tea towel up through the slit into the round eye: the towel hangs where you need it, cannot slide off the bar onto the floor, and pulls free with one tug.

Scrap Gutter

MAIN PURPOSE: Sweep peelings off the board into a bin

Stand it against the side of the chopping board with the low back wall touching the board: peelings and trimmings sweep straight off the board over the scooped 22 mm lip and into the gutter, and the tall front keeps them in. Empty it into the compost in one tip.

Locktile Trivet

MAIN PURPOSE: Build a trivet of any size from locking tiles

A trivet that grows: hexagonal tiles with jigsaw tabs on three edges and sockets on the other three drop into each other in any direction. Seven make a teapot stand, nineteen a table runner; lift one out to clean it. Print in PETG or ASA for warm pans.

Interleaf Riser

MAIN PURPOSE: Double cupboard space at an adjustable width

A cupboard shelf riser that expands: two identical risers, one turned round, slide their three fingers between each other so the pair spans 390 to 460 mm, then sits at whatever width fits the cupboard. Tins go on top, plates or jars underneath.

Petal Coaster

MAIN PURPOSE: Store coasters as a stack that fans into a flower

Coasters that fan out: teardrops with a pivot hole in the tip stack on the Petal Stem. Closed, they are one neat teardrop; swing them round and six coasters open into a flower on the table, ready to hand out.

Victoria Ribs

MAIN PURPOSE: Stand hot pans on lily-pad ribs

A trivet built like the underside of a giant Amazon water lily. Victoria pads carry a child on a thin leaf because twelve radial ribs and rings of cross veins stiffen it; here the same ribs stand up, so a hot pan touches only their edges and air runs underneath.

Gridshell Hoop

MAIN PURPOSE: Hold a flexible lattice in its shell shape

The ring that turns the Gridshell Mesh into a bowl. Its 154 mm opening is smaller than the 220 mm lattice, so pushing the mesh in forces it into a shell, while the open floor lets the curve dip lower and crumbs fall through. The hoop alone also stands a round loaf or melon.

Shukhov Base

MAIN PURPOSE: Build a hyperboloid crock from straight skewers

The foot of a hyperboloid utensil crock. Stand bamboo skewers in every tooth gap round the rim and hold them with a rubber band, slip the Shukhov Collar over the top and twist it: the straight skewers lean into a waisted hyperboloid tower, the structure Shukhov used for his radio masts.

Shukhov Collar

MAIN PURPOSE: Twist straight skewers into a hyperboloid waist

The twisting top ring of the Shukhov crock. The skewer tips sit in its tooth gaps under a second rubber band; turn it against the base and the cage pinches into a hyperboloid waist, turn it back and the skewers stand straight as a cylinder, so you choose the silhouette.
