One thing I am dreaming of is some sort of modular storage with a variety of options that will fit in the Target 3x3 “bookcases.” I’d like lots of different size drawers and some fun way to use all the space that doesn’t leave 11-inch long drawers that things will get lost in.
Is the target bookcase comparable to Ikea expedit and kallax series? Because, if so, I’d be surprised if you couldn’t find something, in the catalogue or elsewhere, that would work – they’re very popular storage units.
In the catalogue, I would be interested in things that I could use in my own designs – like hinged or lidded boxes I could customize, change the dimensions of, and that sort of thing. Sometimes I have ideas and don’t want to design completely from scratch I would especially be interested in boxes with not-finger-joints joints.
Well as I get better at design of practical things there are fewer and fewer compete items I’ll be looking for.
I’m with @erin in looking for things that will give me a head start on personal projects. Parametric designs that allow you to make it just the right size would be super awesome! More and more of the stuff on Thingiverse is like this.
I’m with @markevans36301 and @erin on this. I want some projects that showcase interesting and unique joining techniques, hinges, and other inspiring things.
It would be nice to have a few simple projects that showcase the capabilities of the Glowforge, like the votive candle that was demonstrated a few times.
I’m looking forward to the art side of things - designs for laptop/phone ‘engraving’ in particular, either straight onto the naked surface or adhesive-backed veneer designs. I’d be open to pay $15+ for a well-designed laptop skin.
