This is inspired by the Slim from Human Republic.

I found an article on Gizmodo and saw this slick money clip. (http://ideacious.com/details2000000051.htm?S=4216720422&L=0)

I sketched this model up and now you can print it out and see if you like it. If you do, please consider buying it from the original designers.

Cufflinks based off of the question block from Super Mario Bros

My first thing!

This is a heart-shaped box similar to the one Kurt Kobain spoke of in his lovely song, "Heart Shaped Box." I uploaded two versions of the box - one is smooth on the outside, the other is not. The lid should, in theory, snap in place. This can be used to show your significant other (female) that it was totally worth spending $700 on some metal and plastic scraps.

PS: The Quantum Concepts logo on the bottom is sort of a cross between a spoof and a goof. It can be removed if you prefer.

A friend (Ken) at work goes every year and wants to show it on his badge leash.

Besides looking cool, this simple Hollow Cube can be used to test ooze, retraction + bridging. It also ensures that your dimension are right and uses little material!

If you have a day job most likley you have to wear a badge and one of these leash things so I decided to dress mine up a little with a snap on cover, I've started with a deadmau5 logo and plan to add more designs so I can change it with my mood for the day.

this is a bracelet

After several years of a relationship as well as lots of research, reading, designing and several rounds of prototypes it is time for a big decision to be made. Here is the engagement ring I presented to my intended recently as well as a brief description of it and the design process.

The design is based on a Tiffany Etoile Solitaire Ring and features a 0.31C internally flawless round brilliant Tolkowsky cut Fancy Intense Blue (Boron Doped) Cultured Diamond set in a flared semi-bezel crown of 950 Platinum-Iridium on a D-shaped "Court" Band of 950 Palladium-Ruthenium.

It seems most goldsmiths & jewellers I talked to prefer not to work with Palladium, multiple-metals, custom designs, stones they have not purchased themselves, cultured diamonds or non-white diamonds. This design features all of these so getting a goldsmith who would work with me on this project was tough and it was barely finished in time. Getting the diamond was also a challenge, as it was held up in customs for several weeks leaving very little time for the goldsmith to actually make the ring. In spite of this the end product had excellent workmanship and looked fantastic!

As a side note, the pictures don't do the stone justice, it is really sparkly and appears a deep blue in bright light.

Changes from previous version:
1.0
- Changed dimensions to those used in the final version
- Changed Band to Rounded hemi-ellipse type
- Removed second crown
- Added a bowtie cutout to the ring band for the mount to sit into
- Made the crown section taller and raised the diamond with it to better show it off and prevent the cutlet or point of the diamond from protruding from the hole at the bottom of the crown

Ah well... not really glass... not real diamonds, but it has a diamond look... sort of Swarovski-style...

More or less by accident, but i am surprised how good you can control the irregularity so it gets regular again.

This is only the very first test...

Bar style ring meant to be worn on the middle and ring fingers.

This is a smaller (kid size) version of the popular "Twirl" moustache by gianteye. This now prints as one piece. When printed the new contours look like hair.

I whipped this up after seeing what this person >>> (http://www.thingiverse.com/nervoussystem) made. It has to be scaled before you print it

This part was made with Tinkercad. Edit the part online at: tinkercad.com/p/acc0896da7b6a800/93

Out with the old reel, and in with a new one! Some problems that come with printing parts using the last bit of plastic in a reel have been bugging me for a while, as it's usually difficult to judge whether something that you want to print will use up all the remaining plastic, and how it does so.

You can take an approach of printing something so large that there isn't quite enough plastic to complete it, and the object gets truncated, but there are very few basic printer parts with a large unnecessary section at the top for your uncertainty to fall within, so most of the time one can't be sure if the printer will run out of plastic before finishing a crucial section.
You could also run a few print jobs of very small parts, but then you either have a significant length of waste plastic at the end, a final print of small parts that may not be useable if you run out halfway through, or you end up printing one of Zeno's paradoxes to try and avoid either of those fates.

I've tried to develop something that solves the first option, while always producing something useful at the end, so long as you're within a very wide printing margin. I'd say this print comes with an element of a nice surprise in terms of what size your box is, but you might want to check on the print as it runs out of filament, and stop it on a layer just before the loose end goes past the filament drive, so that you don't end up with a mess or have the extruder drive grinding away at its idler for a while.

Alternatively, if you have some awesome ninja printing skills, you might be able to get a new reel of plastic on whatever spool you use, in time to feed the new starting loose end in directly behind the old end without stopping the print. However, if you could manage that without hiccups in nozzle output, then you wouldn't even need this thing to begin with.

These handy trays can be used to sort small fasteners, jewellery, fishing tackle (all the same really) or similar bits, with a lid that gets completed at the start of the print.

I was unable to open the DXF of the ancestor, so I took a screenshot and drew it from there.
The photo shows the evolution of the design.
The tube is sized for a roll of US pennies.
This obviously would not trip a metal detector!
Add a leather thong and you have a killer necklace.
I printed mine in PLA.

Little Spider Pendant. I have had this modelled with a wax based 3D printer for lost-wax casting, but I have never tried printing it with any other material. I'm not sure how it will work as there are no supports for the legs and they are quite delicate. Could be fun to experiment with.
The pendant has a chain bail built into the design but you need a very fine chain to fit through, a piece of leather would also be nice.

I found this on Google 3D Warehouse uploaded by: COXXON

sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=e37d594c7d53c43c339bd6b570381585&prevstart=0

I cleaned it up some in Sketchup and exported the STL file.

This is a box that works for everyone!
happy holidays!

I liked the necklace holder, but thought it was a little to angular. I redrew it in Solidworks to change the openings to hearts. I also increased the square hole size to avoid any problems with the fit being too tight.
The original column mount is unchanged, but it fits 1" PVC pipe too well to ignore. This barely fits on a Prusa Mendel, so make sure it is well centered.

This is a decoration for your personal christmas tree. Just print it and pin it to your tree as you like it. ;)

I created the dxf from a picture using vectorization with InkScape. Then I just imported the dxf into OpenScad to extrude it. That's it!

Merry Christmas everyone! ;)

This OpenSCAD script will generate a traditionally shaped spherical jingle/cat bell

A user can choose the radius, wall thickness, size of the rim and also if it has features such as a hole in the top or an internal ball and if the ball has a column beneath it for support.

Note:
Rendering this file with a large value for $fn will take quite a while. For the provided .SCAD file with $fn=100 it took about 20 minutes on a modern core i7 laptop.

To-do:
add option for 2 halves in side by side mode to make it more printable

This is my modification of The Princess Heart Crown requested by my daughter. I made the original Princess Heart Crown, but she didn't like how the top was flat / cut off looking.

I modified the design to have properly pointed hearts, as well as a little circle on the top of one of them so it's clear which was is the front of the crown.

I've included both the STL and the OpenSCAD files. Please enjoy and feel free to add your own little doodads and decorations to the top of the crown. Makes a great gifts.

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!

Something for the better half to get her on board with your toys!
The drawers are 3d printed, the box is plywood.
The wood could be laser cut, cnc routed, sawed on a band saw or jig saw. I used a table saw.
The PDF file has measured drawings of the wooden parts.
I used Pack and go to put all the Solidworks files in a zip file.

This is a hybrid project. The drawers are 3D printed and the cabinet is cut on a table saw (or a laser/cnc router)

This bracelet has no clasp; instead you can stretch it over your hand and onto your wrist. It was inspired partially by the Springamathing: thingiverse.com/thing:12053. The design on the outside was inspired by MakeALot's link bracelet: thingiverse.com/thing:7354.

UPDATE: At the request of nycdesigner, a couple of alternate designs are now also available.

Whilst ruminating on Project Shellter, I was reminded of visiting seaside towns in Oregon as a kid and seeing necklaces and earrings made by running nautilus shells through a band saw... so, I fired up SketchUp and with the help of skimbal, created a set of earrings which will be a Christmas gift for a good friend of mine.

UPDATE: After talking to some female friends, they suggested the front should be closed, to avoid getting them caught in hair. I had planned on doing that anyway to make the part a little stronger, so now there's a closed version too.

This was the first thing I did after I finished Spiff Sans, initially just so I would have something to show off a few glyphs (particularly Z and S).

CHANGELOG:
- 11/9.2011: Uploaded new version with fixed spacing.

For many decades I've had trouble getting interesting shoe designs, my size is not common and I got tired of being told no or we have these in white or black only, so when I found you can design your own on the internet I became a "sneaker head", I have multiple custom designs and one of them are my IMMK4 "Iron Man Mark 4" red and yellow Reebok's. I needed to complete the look so I designed flexible plates to cover the laces so when I walk the conventions people will stop asking if I beat up "Ronald McDonald" and stole his shoes (this is my personal joke to those few people I come across that still do not know who "Iron Man" is and I feel bad for them and so make a joke to make them feel better) no one has ever actually said the R.M. joke to me.
