MAIN PURPOSE: Spin in the wind as a garden mobile
An S-rotor that turns in the faintest breeze from any direction: hang it floor up from a fishing swivel through the centre hole, and the two offset half-blades work like a Savonius turbine, flashing round as the wind pushes one and slips past the other.

MAIN PURPOSE: Float a display shelf on tensioned lines
Print two and set one upside down over the other with the hooked arms overlapping: a short line between the hooks and two lines at the outer corners hold the top half floating in mid-air, a tensegrity table for a plant, a speaker or a trophy.

Print two, profile on the bed; tie with 0.5 mm fishing line in the notches. Prints as shown on its outline, no supports.
MAIN PURPOSE: Lift a shelf board on two compression arches
A riser whose legs follow a true catenary, the curve of a hanging chain turned upside down, so the load runs through it in pure compression like a Gaudi arch. Stand two under the ends of a board to lift a monitor or a row of plants 75 mm higher.

MAIN PURPOSE: Time and scent a room with an incense trail
An incense clock shaped as a Hilbert curve, the space-filling path that never crosses itself: fill the 11 mm channel with sand, lay a line of incense powder on it and light one end. The ember walks the 1.4 m path at a steady pace, scenting the room for hours.

Always bed the incense on sand; print in PETG. Prints as shown on its outline, no supports.
MAIN PURPOSE: Pull stiff plugs from wall sockets easily
Stays on the flex for good: the slotted pad sits right behind the plug and the wide T bar gives four fingers something to pull, so a stiff wall socket lets go without pinching the plug or tugging the cable.

MAIN PURPOSE: Keep a phone and drink beside the wheelchair
The profile hooks over a 55 mm armrest pad and carries a lipped shelf outboard of the chair: a phone, glasses or a drink stay at hand height without a bag hanging off the frame. A diagonal brace stops it rolling off the pad.

MAIN PURPOSE: Do up buttons and zips with one hand
A fat 30 mm handle fills a weak grip: push the loop through the buttonhole, hook the button and draw it back through. The other end has a small hook for zip pulls, so one tool handles shirt, cardigan and jacket with one hand.

MAIN PURPOSE: Pour a full kettle without lifting it
Stand a cordless kettle on the platform against the back rest and push its top: the cradle rolls forward on the curved rocker and pours into the cup in front, then rocks back on its own when you let go. Nobody has to lift a full, hot kettle.

MAIN PURPOSE: Cut fingernails with one hand
Drop a standard clipper into the channel with its jaws over the front notch: slip a fingertip under the jaws and press the lever with your palm or wrist. The grip feet keep the board still, so nails can be cut with one working hand.

Fix the clipper with a dab of putty adhesive. Prints as shown on its floor, no supports.
MAIN PURPOSE: Show drawer contents with a picture
Slide a photo of what is inside into the grooved frame and stick it on the drawer front: a picture of socks or cutlery is easier to read than a word, so people living with dementia find things themselves. Takes credit-card size prints.
