This is Pet Monster aka Palmster fot Thingiverse character design competition

This is a pretty useful shotglass featuring high volume, a solid stand and mostly important numbers from 1 to 8 which are pretty necessary for counting drinks, useful in drinking games and whatever.

These items are designed for use in a 1:24 scale (1/2-inch = 1-foot) architectural model.

These objects are custom modeled directly from the objects in my personal home, which I designed and built myself. However, they are common household appliances and construction components that can be used in just about any design.

More architectural objects will follow. Download the PDF for brief instructions on how to build your own 1:24 scale home model, and to see what other objects I plan to design for my model home.

The actual photos of my home are for model relation purposes. My 3D model of my home is accurate to within 1/64" in most areas.

2-7-2012: Uploaded a few more progress pictures of the project. I took photos of my TV screen, pellet stove window, and the "bricks" in my engraved concrete entryway, and printed them out on photo paper (to scale), cut them out, and glued them in the appropriate places. Looks great! :)

a twisted triangular shaped vase

inspired by thingiverse.com/thing:12120 and thingiverse.com/thing:6465 i decided to try myself at a design for a vase.

made with 3dsmax, height ~90mm

A cool stair design I made

It is an object of 2mm methacrylate thought to have the felt-tip pens tidy, beside providing an easy access to the same ones to us by means of his disposition in 3 floors of ascending heights backward.

I designed a minimal sake set of 4 cups and a dispenser with it's lid.

I suggest not printing it in ABS but in Polylactic acid.

I found a cute dresser that needed a paint job and some hardware. Using my prusa, I was able to create some new drawer pulls for it that matched the style of the dresser but with a modern twist.

The Ring-A-Thing is a modular ring-building kit that will allow you to press-fit a small cube magnet into the base and glue a washer to the bottom of each design you make, allowing you to switch out designs on your printed ring.

It's parametric to finger diameter in mm, but I haven't yet figured out how to keep the diameter of the inset on the top of the ring stable for all ring sizes, so that you don't have to scale your designs.

I'm also going to see if I can come up with a better way of attaching the designs than the 3mm magnets, which won't fit inside smaller ring sizes.

Once those two issues are figured out, this project will be a go!

This is my British themed Prusa Mendel.

For more details on the design and build, please see my Blog - richrap.blogspot.com/2011/10/made-in-insert-country-here-british.html

Video's of the build and printing can be seen on my Youtube channel - youtube.com/user/RichRap2011

I hope you like it.

This project is what inspired my Gear O' Clock gear profile. A very simple continuous .075 radius. Formula below for making your own...

youtube.com/watch?v=VHtRhu262zk

Print out all or a few of the gears.

Grab a mechanical pencil, Sharpie Pen, or an similar fine drawing utensils.

Hold outer gear, place utensil in any one of the inner gears and draw many shapes.

Feel free to use my design to make any new gear designs you wish. I only ask that you share working ones and upload them as derivatives. The designs can be endless. Squares, ovals, rectangles, blob shaped and any combination can be made.

The diameter of the gear teeth is .15 inches. (See drawing.)
You must calculate pi by first determining how many teeth you want.
So basically 31 teeth x 2 = 62
62 x .15 = 9.3" which = The Circumference
9.3"/ pi = 2.962 which = the diameter to base your teeth off of.
The diameter refers to the pitch circle or center of diameter of your gear teeth.

This house was modeled from plans of the architect, urban designer and theorist Jean Maneval( 1923-1986).
designboom.com/eng/archi/maneval.html

It's one of the first experiment of a fully synthetic materials house, produced industrially and commercialized in series from 1968 to 1970 in france.

I created this model from the house in collaboration with the Mercier art gallerie in paris, which keeps in it's catalogue some of the remaining houses. mercieretassocies.com/artiste.php?id=13

This a sunflower shaped design for a door stop wedge that you can download free from Thingiverse and print out for free using your (or your friend's) 3D printer.

***V2 Update 12/7/11: Half moon sphere modified flatter sphere, making it easier to 3D print!***

This clip is designed to snap on CD's or DVD's and fit into the head of bike's spokes. The flat part at hte end can be used to place powerLEDs if you want to use that light source, or to glue to a different support.

This modern vase is faceted like a beautiful jewel. It has 1/4" material thickness and is hollowed out in the middle. It is perfect for displaying freshly picked flowers.

This is a Makerbot business card holder. Font from dafont.com/designer-block.font. Desgined in Sketchup 8. I have included the sketchup files for those who would like to mod this. I have also put up a blank one if you would prefer not to have the logo or would like to put your own logo on. I think it would be pretty cool of these started popping up around Makerbot Industries!

Bre challenged me to a design race. 25 minutes to upload a design. As it was his challenge, I chose the topic. Dragon.

Here's Bre's entry: thingiverse.com/thing:5237

Graphic design by Brian Melo

I started this project long, long ago. I was teaching at TechShop and had the time, tools, and a drive to make something serious. You see, I have had this long history of mixed emotions about steampunk. On the one hand, it is a wonderful and beautiful to look back on generations past and reflect on all the awesome things they have done. It is great to be inspired by Tesla and Grahm Bell and all the guys slaving away in steel mills wearing top hats. On the other hand steampunk has also become a label for hastily made shoddy things muddled together with hot glue, watch gears, and brass spray paint.

Often times my philosophy is to not have opinions on things until I have done something substantial to justify them. This is me putting my money where my mouth is. This is my highly engineered, hard labor, meticulously calculated answer to why steampunk is awesome. There can be so much cool in the intersection between math and metal and leather and science and I think everyone should give it a try.

The whole set of photos from the project is on display here flickr.com/photos/gianteye/sets/72157624394079042/

You can see a bit more on how the metal components on the goggles were made here flickr.com/photos/gianteye/sets/72157619078382624/ and find out a bit more about the prototyping process here makersmarket.com/seller/gianteye/blog

I fuel my insatiable love for design and adventure through ventures like selling digitally fabricated jewelry on etsy. You should take a look at gianteye.etsy.com or get in touch with me at m sinbox.org if you have ideas, advice, job offers, commissions, or cake.

Yet another test for generating knotwork designs.

Fixed the problem causing internal faces (by brute force...). The model for this part seems valid in OpenCASCADE, but apparently some facets are missing in the STL file.

This is just a test for a tool that generates geometry based on Celtic knotwork design.

This mug is extremely suitable for outdoor activities such as hiking and biking. Because of the handle design it's particularly easy to take with you. The prominent smooth shape in the inside of the mug is inspired by water droplets.

This is a unique clock design. You can tell time with by looking at a series of twelve pegs on top of the clock, or with the LCD screen, if you need a more precise time. As time passes, a belt with a bump on it passes under the pegs (all happens hidden inside it) and rises them. One pass from left to right takes 12 hours, after which it takes another twelve hours to do it from right to left.

You can read time by looking at the pegs. If it's AM, then, if the second peg from the left is up, it's 2 AM. If it's PM, then it's the opposite : the second peg on the left means 10 PM. Take a look at my images, one explains it better.

candle holder...
please rescale and rotate...

please mill in aluminium...
stick a candle in and have fun...

if you print it with abs or other stuff be careful...
check if the material is fireproof...
otherwise... let it...!

Its a longboard skateboard design

This is a design for a platter that I came up with for my first attempt at 3D printing. Its made on a SLS 3D printer out of Nylon. It is very durable and looks great when you stack some fruit on it.

Second file is another iteration.

Back in July Switched.com challenged us to design and make a set of salt and pepper shakers, all in one day! We took care of the design end, and the shakers were made by awesome 3-D printing technology from MakerBot.

We've always wanted to design a set of salt and pepper shakers to match Egg Pants, one of our most successful products. This finally gave us the chance to do it. We bring you Salt and Pepper Hats! We're so happy with how they turned out that we will be taking them one step further and turning them into a product for our line, which should be available by winter 2009.

In the meantime, we're offering up the files for our prototypes - download away and make your very own! Want Egg Pants to go with them? Get a pair here: designglut.bigcartel.com/product/egg-pants
