Cursed hacks, forcing proprietary software to do what you want through clever means, or just generally doing awful, beautiful things with technology?

An only slightly “stupid” story.
Washing machine broke while full of water. I partially disassembled the washer, found the pump, designed and 3d-printed an adapter for a cordless drill to drive the pump, and successfully manually drained the washer (as a first step toward fixing the washer.)
It was printed out of PLA, so not really strong enough to do the job, but I printed with 100% infill for added strength and printed like 6 of them. Three or four of them broke before it was done draining, but that’s why I printed the extras.
