Message I missed the original post and its locked. Here's some of my tool's I've made. Been awhile since I posted pics so hopefully they work.

This was my 1st tool I designed when I got my 3d printer. Simple tool to help get the wire clips back onto the connector. Just push it in the connector and it filled the gaps on the side so the pin will press in/on. Then remove the tool and install the connector. I gave out a bunch of these at a past zcon but most people didnt understand what it was for :)

Next tool is why I bought a 3d printer. Can't believe I designed and made this 9 years ago already. I used the 3d printed version for a few years. I then made a mold and started casting (and selling) them in urethane resin.

Injector press for removing the old style injectors. Got tired of re-inserting the screws back on the rail to press against. This slips on over the mounting ears. Provides a cup as well to keep the injector from falling on the floor

Made these plugs for when I do basic head gasket replacements. Seals up the cylinders to help keep crap out when sanding/prepping the surface. Work for storage as well.

Made this jig to help get straight cuts on IC pipes with my bandsaw. I find most of the new larger pipe kits fit too tight so I like to trim off a little and then I roll a new barb on.

And you may have seen my parts washer on Facebook. Uses mainly Simple green, some Dawn and de-foamer and just keeps re-cycling the fluid.
