Capital from the Church of St. Marie d'Aurona

 Gothic style mainly focused on creating buildings with the least stone walls possible – therefore they used a lot of pillars and other devices to replace walls, and leave more space for windows and light. That is why pillars and capitals were much more ornated and sophisticated than in the Romanesque style, because they participated in the particular atmosphere created in Gothic churches. This capital follows the Corinthian order.

Shure SM58 table stand

 I designed this mic stand because I needed something very specific. Among my requirements, I was looking for a firm fit for my SM58, nearly 20 cm tall, angle adjustment, and a stable base like a good commercial mic stand. I'm working to add different "clips" for different microphones (english is not my native language, I don't know if "clip" is the right word) so stay tunned. If it is printed with the proper infill in the appropriate areas, it is designed to last many years. My print has 3 perimeters and variable infill (I'm gonna add as soon as possible a new image so you can see what I did). There's no need for supports. I recommend a screw of about 9.4 millimeters in diameter and 4cm in length with its corresponding nut, and felt to protect your microphone.

This is for cleaning out the 3/4" PVC condensation drain line on a home AC unit. It slides onto the end of a standard shop vacuum and fits into the 3/4" PVC drain. This works way better and is safer for the pipes than chemicals or air pressure.

The end is extended so that it will fit down the T-adapter and into the 3/4 bottom tube, this makes it so that you are not trying to vacuum out your entire AC unit by attaching a vacuum to the T-adapter itself.
