A simple Headphone Wrap made for SkullCandy Ink'd Headphones. I got the idea for this from Eagleapex. I loved the idea of having a 3d-printed headphone wrap, since I'm always shoving my headphones into my backpack in an untidy bunch.

A 7-Piece Block Puzzle. Goal = manipulate all 7 pieces into a 3x3x3 cube!

I actually made this a while ago right after todbot made his but I got lazy and procrastinated. Anyway here it is...

Out of everything I've printed this is definitely the thing I use most often.

I made two versions: a desktop one and a wall mounted one.

The desktop stand is composed of three parts: a square piece of scrap makerbot wood that I painted black on the bottom, a clip that is glued to the base, and the main housing that holds the cable and snaps in and out of the clip.

The wall mounted one is just two parts: the wall mount and the holder of the cable. Again, the holder can snap in and out of the wall mount.

I really like the snap fit and it's functionally perfect. It makes a very satisfying click and holds it really well. The snap clip allows the cable to be adjusted within the enclosure if needed and also adds some portability.

UPDATE:
I've found through repeated use that the snap fit slowly loosens and you have to readjust the position of the iPod charger within the housing. HOWEVER... I just added a new part called the ipodstopper which basically just plugs the bottom whole and keeps everything at the right level and totally eliminates this problem! yay!

I decided to start Awesome August off with an awesome bracelet.

This thing has a lot going on. It may look like an ordinary bracelet but you see all those holes? Yep.... exactly the size to pop and LED in. Where does the power come from you ask? How about a coin cell battery embedded within one of the modular pieces (a captive print!). Memory wire connects everything together giving it a perfect springy feel.

This thing was a lot harder to get together than I thought it would be and turned out to be a whole weekend project. The trickiest part to figure out was what material to connect them with. I tried everything from string, stranded wire, magnets and even conductive thread. The memory wire works great. Although I'm still not perfectly happy with the on/off functionality or the joining of the two ends, I hear you can buy endcaps that seem like they would solve the problem.

Now that I've iterated through a bunch of materials and ideas though they're pretty easy to build and work well.

I want to start seeing some people rock out with Makerbot made accessories!
