Currently, I'm thinking about ways to make motion for a robotic cat toy that does not make (much) noise. I've used servos in the past but they are far too noisy.

I usually only print my own designs. So, I need to design

some better buttons for an enclosure that combines my soldering iron with my hot air station
a better tripod for my telescope
a dust collection system for a table saw
some mounts with a fan to dry wet shoes, gloves, and a helmet
a better 2nd monitor arm that extends over my bed
I've dreamt up a way I want to make an automated bicycle chain cleaning and lubricating machine that cleans and lubes each link pair, each set at a time slowly over the couple of hours and recycles the solution and extra lube, I just need to do the actual design work.

Those are just a few on my design list.
