All work done in FreeCad.
My favorite personally reverse engineered part Image
And a favorite design I use every day a holder for my loose tea strainer to catch draining water Image

Man, that first one is really cool. What is it?

It’s part of a joint for the handle of an electric snowblower I have. It’s a cool looking part for sure, but it was easy to recreate as a model to print.
But after breaking the original injection molded glass re-enforced nylon and 3 other home printed parts, I redesigned the joint to be a single piece solid part. So while I can’t fold the handle down for storage, it no longer breaks.

Nice ingenuity!
