Welcome fellow prototypers! This communities' purpose is to help others and share functional 3D Printing related information. While other 3D Printing Communities are a good resource, sometimes too many help posts get buried under memes and fluff. This will remain technically focused and keep the fluff removed. Please help your fellow 3D Printer hobbyists as much as you can with their issues! and showcase your functional prints and how you use or created them.

All the sanding blocks I have seen are the nut and bolt type, but i found myself wanting something more of just a ... block. No adjusting, loosening, tightening, moving, just wrap your sandpaper around an edge and go. So I spent 15 minutes in FreeCAD and made one. So far it's working great.

In case anyone else wants it, or has feedback. https://www.printables.com/model/762884-simple-sanding-block

Hmm... A sanding block shaped like every state, now there's an idea

Did I miss something? What happened to Maryland's shape?

Oh. I was thinking of connecticut. That's my public school education showing.

Don't want to be a stick in the mud, but couldn't that easily have been made from wood? (With less plastic waste?)
