My own Pin.Peep
On my desk since 2023
Still going strong
I started buying pins as souvenirs. They're everywhere when you travel, cheap enough to buy on a whim, small enough to bring home, and each one remembers exactly where it came from. After a few years I had a lot of them, and they all lived in a box. Every so often I'd find them again, enjoy them for a minute and put them away. I wanted to see them every day, on my desk and around the house. Pin.Peep is what I made so I could.
The first version was a panel screwed onto a separate base with M3 bolts. It worked, but it was three things pretending to be one. Then it clicked that the mesh, the rim and the stand could all be printed together, in one material, in one go. No bolts, no glue, nothing to put together, and when it's finished with, it can be recycled whole.
Bought on holiday.
Kept in a box.
Now on the desk.
The face is an open mesh. A pin's post slips through any hole and the back clicks on behind, so nothing gets pierced and nothing wears out. Move a pin a few holes over whenever you like. The stand is part of the same print, so it sits on a desk or a shelf without a wall fixing, and you can lift it down to choose a pin in the morning.

Pin.Peep is printed in recycled PLA. The colour goes in as pigment, so nothing is sprayed or painted on afterwards. I print runs of 10 to 50 in the studio, and a print farm takes on anything bigger. Nothing is made before it's ordered, and when a holder is finished with, it can come back to us to be recycled.
A collection you can actually see.
