Nick's Replacement Faucet
thingiverse
I walked into my friend's apartment and his sink was left unattended with faucet handles gone missing - an intriguing sight to behold, it was! I couldn't help but get drawn in by its blank expression. That night, while my friend was celebrating his birthday elsewhere, I discreetly snuck a caliper into his bathroom for some measurements. The next week rolled around, and using those numbers as guides, I created a few of these unique handles to leave on his doorstep. 1: Hit print and see what happens when the ink hits the paper (*optional: Take some extra steps with chrome and paint, let's make this even spicier - how about giving them a pair of fiery eyes, red or blue - which one do you prefer?) 2: Time to bring it all together by attaching that splined shaft to the faucet. Get ready for a twist. 3: Give it a good shake and pop the skull onto the splined shaft. Hold on tight. 4: Seal the deal with some glue and get those eyes firmly in place. Additional Tips: Don't panic if you can't lay your hands on a keyed shaft like my friend did, courtesy of his trusty old stepper motor - all is not lost. Make one yourself or modify the 'faucet.scad' file. The 'spline.scad' library, tucked away somewhere in the depths of cyberspace, will lend you its splines to interface the skull and the faucet shaft like a dream.
