Hold your drills!

Build something your child will treasure for a lifetime, a treasure chest! Our son absolutely loves all things treasure, so I decided to create a small treasure chest for him. He absolutely loves the result, keeping his most valuable treasure safe inside. Then of course our other son wanted one desperately too, so I improved the cut and made another. And then the wife wanted one for her desk at work, and then one as a present for her sister… So I thought I might share the design.

For 3mm MDF.

File optimised to share all cut lines and minimise material needed.

Genuine curved wood slat lid.

Working lock.

2 unique keys provided.

Guaranteed to attract treasure of all kinds.

The top plate for a lamp constructed from chopsticks.

This is a small tray that can be used to hold Dremel bits. It has notches and stubs to clip several of them together.

Used to print a MendelMax with a Sells, Prusa, MendelMax, etc.

this is a rubber band gun i made for my son

I saw lucb's thing and I had a die I made in OpenSCAD, so I just combined the two files.

A heart shaped box you can cut out and fill with something nice for your sweetie... Just in time for Valentine's Day

Fully parametric (untested, it works for the parameters as they are set)

The provided STL are fine for a handlebar where the stem clamp measures 46mm, the diameter of the handlebar is 25mm just next to the stem clamp and 22.5mm of diameter some 15mm far away from the clamp.

This spool is sized for 5lb rolls of loose filament.

The grooves at the end of the arms are for optional rubber bands or string if you need extra tension on your spool.

There is undoubtedly room for improvement here.

I haven't made a holder - for the moment I bolt the threaded rod into a hole in my shelf - I may change that at some point, I'll put the files here if and when I make a holder.

Well I've got it all printed out and loaded a 5lb coil - it took about 15 seconds. It works pretty darn good.

Used openSCAD to cut the heart from the dragon model.

OpenSCAD didn't want to work with the full resolution version of the dragon so I trimmed it down a bit in meshlab. (dragon_lowres_ascii.stl) I used the heart thing thingiverse.com/thing:6190 to clip the heart from the original model. Then clipped the bottom of the heart so it could be used as the heart for the final print.

Für Res.

It's a trophy for the winner!

Artec Dragen

* Reduced quality (~100k)
* Turned up and bottom
* Some manual added support for faster printing
(no support function needed !
* 65mm tall

The library paratslot.scad allows you to create parametric tslot and accessories.
even mix them in a single render.
Make tslot of any dimension.
30x30, 30x60, 20x40...

Occasionally we hold FIFA 2012 tournaments and I wanted something that the current winner can keep until he/she is dethroned. You can print out the STL with just the FIFA World Cup text or use the openscad file to create your own text. In this case I am giving the trophy as a birthday present and so I've added 'SMITH LEAGUE' onto the back.

Sorry, couldn't help myself :)

This simple filament holder system only requires 4 blocks printed out. They are then connected with 5mm threaded rod and some 11mm x 5mm x 4mm r/c bearings. Its both quick and easy to make. You can see the build here (including a video) 3d-printer-kit.com/?p=803

The Budaschnozzle 1.1 we produce at LulzBot has been released. We have always posted the source files on our AlephObjects web site, but thought it may be good to post them here also.

More info can be found at reprap.org/wiki/LulzBot/Budaschnozzle or lulzbot.com/en/96-budaschnozzle-11.html

The needed hardware can be found listed in the BOM file.

The Buda1.1_Source.tar.gz file includes all of the original Solidworks files.

Also, more information is available in the store page: lulzbot.com/en/96-budaschnozzle-11.html

After a few people have asked, here is a MakerGear carriage and Plastruder that is compatible with our Budaschnozzle hotend.

This has not been tested beyond assembly and checking that the filament channel lines up. Please report back if your try them out.

Derived from x-carriage_mg v2.stl and the plastruder by MakerGear. The original file can be found here: github.com/MakerGear/MakerGear-Prusa-Mendel

This is to help you align your tap or drill to be perpendicular to the work surface.
I have included the SCAD file for you to tinker with, or you can just print the default, which has 9 holes, from 2mm to 10mm in diameter in 1mm steps.

This was designed for a CNC limit microswitch.

4-point basic ninja shuriken. You can glue two together to make it symmetrical.

These are the printable opto flags we used on our first batch of printers that have been going out on Ebay.

Note: The Y and Z flag require extra length of the X and Y axis smooth rod for mounting. The X flag mounts onto the wades extruder with the mounting bolt (this will not work with the accessible extruder).
