This is my design based on PointNemo's sanding block with a self-aligning bed and a knob with a flush surface.

I really like the overall design and the comfortable grip shape of the original. This is my slightly improved version of a sanding block based on PointNemo's design.

I printed mine with eSun PLA matte mandarine which has a nice soft touch.

Need other dimensions or have comments on how to improve? Let me know!

Update 2023-12-17: Revised knob with smoother top surface and improved thread.

 

Improvements:
  • Knob has a flush surface to rest your palm on. Use a large screwdriver or a coin to tighten.
  • The interface between top and bottom is bevelled so that the bed self-aligns and slightly pulls in the sandpaper.
  • Print the top part upright to get a clean surface and better grip.
Printing parameters:
  • Resolution: 0.2 mm (top), 0.15 mm (bottom and knob)
  • Perimeters: 4
  • Infill: 15%, Gyroid
  • files in print orientation
  • organic supports for top recommended (see photo)
Assembly:
  • added some thin rubber sheet to the bottom, cork also works
