Look at your hands.

Hands are complex tools that grant humans a superpower, the power to transform imagination into reality. The power of our hands is unlimited. We can use them to throw a ball, climb a tree, or build a tool.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to have two hands.

Robohand is an open source tool created to help restore the superpowers of humans who are missing the fingers from their hand. The original version was created by Richard Van As and Ivan Owen.

Bird Housing for little birds

Printed on Rep 2
Infill 0%
Shells = 3 or 4 depending on the thickness you want. Old school. Break to open...
No raft
No support

Added a second STL, with a flat spot and bridging design around the coin slot, as I had some trouble printing the coin slot. I think this would be very slicer dependent, I see the new makerware seems to want to use diagonal fills instead of horizontal - and that leaves a little clean up on the finished part around the coin slot. Would be interested in other slicer results...

I was showing off some of my designs at a recent Makerbot user group meeting, and I wished I had tags for them with QR codes and some other relevant data. This bookmarklet will generate such tags.

Note: I initially set the license to CC-BY for the example picture because the CC licenses look a little nicer on the tags, but I've changed the license to PD, so feel free to use it however you want.

Update: Some errors were reported with the DOM walking, so I rewrote those portions to use Regex instead. This should improve compatibility.

The sink plug that catches everything!

Tired of old food clogging up that drain? The answer to your needs is named Zlatko, the kitchen sink plug.

Gives a perfect fit for 40mm drainhole that is 15mm high.

It's printed in two parts that snaps together, this means that a minimum of support material is required to create this otherwise complex part.

Update: I added a high-poly "lowrider" edition with half the drain hole height (8mm). The width is still the same and fits together with the disc.

If you want a specific dimension please leave a comment and I'll se what I can do.

Really this was just an experiment to see if I could quickly take a line drawing and turn it into solid model by extruding a shape "along" the path of the line drawing. It worked pretty well and I liked the print so much, I thought I'd share it. It does need a base or some way to stand itself up. That would be cool.

I put a quarter in the picture so you can get an idea of how big this thing is.

We're a little behind schedule here at You3Dit.com, but in support of the troops & veterans who protect our freedom, we wanted to express our gratitude and allow other Thingiversans the ability to do the same using their 3D printers (for Memorial Day 2013)!

All you need is a Bic pen (or one of the same diameter) and you can start being patriotic!

Two STLs were attached and if you have Solidworks, you can change the scale of the entire thing.

(also, the base has a dual purpose! A bic pen spool support tool: thingiverse.com/thing:97847)

Here is a small wooly sheep.

It was created with 123D Catch from a ceramic garden ornament. The ornament contains reflective additions and is white and shiny - see image. It was dulled with fine chocolate powder to aid 123D Catch.

Oogoo ( instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-Your-Own-Sugru-Substitute/ and instructables.com/id/7-Things-To-Fix-Or-Do-With-Oogoo/ ) is great stuff! Inexpensive, easy to mold, easy to clean up, quick setting, and makes parts with a nice soft yet firm feel to them. The only thing I don't like is mixing it up. Combining silicone and corn starch, possibly along with some coloring agent, is not easy. Messy, hard to get uniform, and the time taken eats into the working time for the Oogoo. There must be a better way.

Here's my answer. Use an auger to press the stuff thru some plates with holes in them. Minimal mixing is needed to just get the corn starch sort of wetted with silicone. Then inject it into the auger, turn the auger, and out comes uniformly mixed Oogoo, ready to mold. Watch the video here youtube.com/watch?v=IE8L7yjxwAE&feature=youtu.be

This is very much a work in process. The OpenSCAD for the Auger needs to be parameterized and there should be a base plate of some sort to hold things together.

Four Part Expandable Bird House

Model of a scalable Birdcage constructed from four 3D printed parts and dollar store wood "Shish Kabob skewers". Door opens and swings.

This is a basic design that I used for a narrow shelf decoration,
but it can scaled up just by adding more cross beams.

You can line these up in different directions, add back rooms, make a maze, expand out or add floors...

The real fun of this project was to design the decorations. I haven't included any of mine since I like the look of the project plain and everyone has their own design taste.

Tips for assembly:

- Use acetone: ABS plastic from the left over support structures 2:1 mix to glue weld the parts.
- use an alignment tray to make sure all the angles 90 degrees.
-use the full arch placed first to support the quarter arches against long place holder wood bars.

Suggestions for decorations that you might consider include the following:

- Front steps
- Finials for columns
- Ridged half columns for front center part
- Windows with frames
- Roof Peak decorations
- Roof Ridge with spacers for crossover wires
- Bell tower or widow's peak
- Use metal wires instead of wood for walls and roof
- Flag pole with pennants
- Mail box
- Lamp post
- Eve decorations for arches
- Ridge peaks

Ideas for "better" versions of this basic design:

- Open bottom tray for cleaning, if you keep anything alive in one of these.
- Roll arcs of copper wires to cross over roof instead of long way wood beams.
- Add a few LEDs to the inner roof beams

File Parts List:

- Quarter_arc (12)
- Half_arcs(6)
- Stanchion (12)
- Cross_beam (32)

I made this out of frustration with using disposable cardboard sleeves on the new Starbucks $1 reusable cup - plus to add a cooler look to my mug.

This thing allows you to make your own **customized sleeve for a coffee or tea cup!** The geometric designs are highly customizable and look great on a plain cup.

This is for the little vampires who thirst.....

This is is a simple, 3D-printable (caveat: It requires some springs, bearings, rubber bands, and nuts/bolts), fully-mechanical computer. It has 3, single-digit base-10 counters for memory, and processes a chain of 10-position punch cards. With the included program, it will compute the first few digits of the fibonacci sequence. It is effectively an entirely mechanical reimplementation my FIBIAC project (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:22803)

See it in action here: youtube.com/watch?v=1lMTgYoIGvo

Take that Babbage!

I wanted to have a glidecam, but was not fully satisfied with the already available glidecam designs. They were too complex, needed to many not-printable parts, or even not-shelf parts.

This design uses a minimum of non-printable parts like screws and nuts. You don't need to solder, or weld any part for this design. It is assembled fast and most of the work is done by your 3d printer.

The system gives me very stable results. I was blown away after reviewing the first video test. The performance I think is just beautiful. Unfortunately I can't compare it to a professional glidecam. If you have one please tell us which one performs better!

You will quickly get the hang of how to use the glidecam correctly and once you do it is like moving your camera with a dolly.

You can see a cost estimation in the attached excel sheet. My overall cost was 35€. Try to beat that!

-- Update --
I replaced the bottle as a counterweight and added 42 washers on the weight rig instead. Overall this increased the cost to 46€.

Please consider supporting my Kickstarter campaign ***Through A Scanner, Skulpturhalle***. I have an incredible opportunity to 3D scan high quality plaster casts of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures at the Skulpturhalle Basel museum in Switzerland, and I need your help. Please take a look at the project description at ThroughAScanner.com

You can help prioritize the scan targets and spread the word at the same time by re-tweeting your picks from this gallery: twitter.com/CosmoWenman/media/grid

Leaving comments on or liking and sharing your favorites at the project's Facebook page will help too: facebook.com/ThroughAScanner

I've included an example of one of my previous scans -- my scan of "Head of a horse of Selene" from the British Museum's Parthenon collection (a.k.a. the Elgin Marbles). This is the scan quality I'll be shooting for at the Skulpturhalle.

When the project is complete I'll post the Skulpturhalle scans and printable models here on this Thingiverse page. I'll also list and thank project backers here too.

Any amount will help. And please let media outlets and anyone you think might be interested know about the project too. With your help it could be the start of something great.

Thanks,

Having built the Printable Marble Machine #1 which is hand operated, I wanted to add a motor ..... which led to the redesign of quite a number of parts.
The motor which I settled on is a Pololu 298:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor which attaches onto my plastic mount using the Pololu Micro Metal Gearmotor Bracket. This motor runs off 5V and rotates at 45rpm - just about as fast as I think the design will cope with. It is powered using a 5V DC mains power supply which came with a mobile phone - I replaced the original power connector on the power supply as I wanted to use a 2.1mm DC power jack plug and socket set.

I have uploaded my rather poor video attempt here: youtube.com/watch?v=YOaXsGhuKLQ

Thanks also go to gzumwalt - he has made some cracking motorised models which motivated me to have a go at this one.

This monster needs no introduction. Godzilla in a terror to reckon with. He can eat you and stomp on your house at the same time. This is the first in this monster series. It was designed from a drawing, turned into a vector and extruded in Openscad.

I made these for drilling out holes in 3D printed parts.

This thing started out as a micro cache container for geocaching. It quickly got out of hand and can now be used for anything from a sharpie necklace to a candy jar. You can customize the size, shape, text and even put a loop on this to attach a strap.

I only had enough time to print out 2 sharpie containers and a small box. The default dimensions will produce a perfect sized sharpie case. The inside and outside container shapes are independently customisable for those of you wishing to use this to house a tool or pen. I was thinking of making one for my exact-o knife. It will give me a bigger and more ergonomic handle. How about a pillbox key chain or maybe even making a glow-light. How about attaching your pocket watch to your new single cigar carrying case?

This thing is being listed under household containers but needs its own category for just being awesome!

One drawback of making such an awesome thing is that the text may not work for all configurations. Low side counts specifically will not work well.

##Change Log
### 6/10/13:
* Fixed Containers so that low wall counts work better
* Added ability to make 3 sided containers
* Small fixes in the code

### 6/4/13:
* Fixed bug where sphere would protrude below bottom of container
* Changed wall width of loop to be indepently controlled

3D Printing with different colors is fun! We've put together our favorite iOS app icons and made keychains out of them for you to 3D print your own!

Here's a prop of the Salts bottle from Bioshock Infinite. There are files for both a static and a hero light-up version!

For a static version print one each of:
bioshock_salts_neck_plug_static.stl
bioshock_salts_stopper_static.stl
bioshock_salts_neck_ring.stl
bioshock_salts_bottle_final.stl

For a light-up version print one each of:
bioshock_salts_neck_for_glowstick.stl
bioshock_salts_stopper_for_glowstick.stl (print in shell mode)
bioshock_salts_neck_ring.stl
bioshock_salts_bottle_final.stl

The example above was printed on an Afinia H479. The solid models were created in a trial of Alibre Design and the label was made in GIMP by tracing game screenshots.

BTW, if there's something wrong with those files let me know... They are slightly different from the ones I printed as they were rotated in netfabb and re-exported before uploading (originally I set the orientation in my printer software).

You do a phone call and make some notes on a post it...
A colleague comes in and leaves memo...
..have you also always loose notes and memos flying around all over your Desktop ?
Why not have them all sorted in one place, the notes mailbox is the solution!

This is a model of the Goddess Chest from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I designed this to house a sound module that you typically find in a gift card. The switching mechanism has been replaced with a reed switch. You may find more info on my [instructables](http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Legend-of-Zelda-Skyward-Sword-Goddess-Chest/).

#These nifty "magic wallets" are extremely customizable and personalizable.
>The magic wallet is a very popular design right now.
You can find them in every major department store. They cost anywhere from $15-$50 and come in all sizes. You however are smarter than that. You know that you can customize your very own right here on thingiverse and print it out right in the comfort of your own home.You can change the size and shape to fit your very own needs. They can even be printed seperately from the straps so you can mix and match color combos.

Why do you want this?
You don't want this... You **NEED** this. You have important clients that need a memorable gift so that you stand out. How about a customized case for business cards that has **Your** details on the outside. What? You want more?? Fine!. How about adding **Your** logo too? That's right. You will be giving your client a magic wallet decorated with your company logo and your contact details that's filled to the brim with your business cards.

If I haven't sold you by now, then you drive a hard bargin. How about, if you buy one of these at the low price of free, I throw in an nearly infinite supply of custom magic wallets at no extra cost! Act now before supplies run out.

*Not available anywhere that they are not available.*

Update: 6/6/13
##Change Log
###Feature Adds
- **Full Dual extruder support**. All "Parts" automatically output to seperate stls. That makes the straps, panels and text/images 3 seperate files. Tri-extruders anyone? (Thanks laird!)

Update: 5/30/13
##Change Log
###Feature Adds
- Changed parameter based on peer input. All STLs will now be generated at one time. You can still select which parts to view in customizer but all parts will be output reguardless of the option selected. (now if you break a strap you can pull up the file that you will already have and print another set)

Update: 5/30/13
##Change Log
###Feature Adds
- Added functionality for logos
- Added printable straps (huge stability improvement)
- Changed default settings to better serve the masses
- Added adjustable tolerances to accompany the printable straps
- Add ability to output sides and straps seperately. Check the advanced tab for this option (multi-color? anyone)
- Portrait Style available (just change the size so that the X is bigger than the Y or vise-versa)

###Other Changes:
- Reworked tabs in customizer
- Cleaned up a lot of code (almost readable now)
- Started preparing for dualstrusion (will be available in the next version) ** DONE!
- Reoriented build plate
- Fixed problem where logo protrudes through bottom of model
- Added spiel

###To be completed:
- Dualstrusion support (you can dualstrude now with straps and sides able to print seperately. Text and logo will be next) DONE!
- Make text and images more customizable (with location and rotation settings)
- Make straps attached to one side of body so you only have to feed them through 1 side.


This is my first project in openscad. I made just about every dimension variable. For those that don't like to mess with success, just use the default sizes and add your personalization.

Love playing card games or know someone that does? This makes a great gift for anyone with dexterity challenges, the elderly, as well as kids. Cardeasy helps hold and organize a hand full of cards and if you print one out for someone that has that problem, they will love you for it. I have included a nice stand so you can sit it down and still see the cards.

You can find both the STL’s and the original SolidWorks design files in case you wish to remix.

Enjoy!

Simple background for macro photography.
With A4 paper, you can easily set up small photo background.

[29 May 2013] I uploaded new STL files by which you don't need to rotate or move models to print. Also, I changed file names to make it clear. (The design is not changed at all)

PaperClips Rev2.stl is pair of the left and right paper clips.

I've never imagined that such many people like this idea. Thank you!!

Update:
The model from the Processing sketch wasn't manifold and i currently saw no way to improve it. Thus i rewrote the sketch in order to produce DXF files and extruded them with OpenSCAD.
