Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
I've never broken a plastic ice cube tray twisting it. There are plenty of plastic trays on Amazon.
I have tried a silicone one once and didn't like it, as it took more doing to get the ice cubes out than the plastic tray, where they tend to all readily slide out after the tray's been given a twist.
I've had bad experiences with modern-style plastic ones. The ones I tried were not shaped well to pop the ice cubes out and the thin plastic quickly broke. And I've had bad experiences with the hybrid silicone ones as well, their seams are a failure point and they're less convenient as well.
