Here is a salt shaker gansgsta, derivative of yzorg's design.
The salt comes out the back of his neck. I wanted to have it come out of his head, but he slouches too much.

It's in progress until I know it prints properly

This thing turns a Nespresso Cupsule box into a bench top dispenser.

This is a spoon for my sugar bowl ( thingiverse.com/thing:17034 ). It is made to fit through the slot in the lid, and has a volume of 5mL (one teaspoon).

My friend needed a measuring cup so I designed one. It's sized based on volume, but otherwise super simple.

I started out simply wanting to print a giant bread tag for a friend. Little did I know that an entire taxonomy exists for the parasitoids known as Occlupanid (Occlu = to close, pan = bread).

The most thorough research into these organisms has been conducted by the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group - horg.com/horg. Their work was even used in the report "Plastic bag clip discovered in partial colectomy accompanying proposal for phylogenic plastic bag clip classification" published in the BMJ Case Reports journal: casereports.bmj.com/content/2011/bcr.02.2011.3869.abstract.

While the SCAD file is parametric so far I have only designed (bred?) one example of the Toxodenta (curved teeth) order, based on an example I found in the wild which appears to conform to the classification of Palpatophora utiliformis - horg.com/horg/Palpatophora_utiliformis.htm.

I intend to extend the SCAD file to include examples of species from each order. I also encourage people to create their own variations and mutations. Let's see if we can get these creatures to evolve into something new! ;-)

Here's a sugar (or salt) bowl with a lid and soon a spoon.
I am marking this as "in progress" as I have neither printed this thing yet, or designed the spoon. But I'm running out of time to make this my thing-a-day for Saturday, so here we are.
Be careful about storing food in ABS. I'm sure that there's not much that could go wrong here, especially since this is for dry food, but I can't guarantee there won't be any possibility of contamination. Use your best judgement.

-Edit- I have replaced the original version of the bowl, since it had a fillet on the bottom that doesn't print well without support. The new version has a 45 degree chamfer.

-Edit- I have added a new version of the bowl with a chamfer on its rim. This allows the lid to sit more comfortably. I have also uploaded a spoon for this bowl ( thingiverse.com/thing:17156 )

This is a simple safety mechanism that I designed to prevent a stove from being turned on when people lean against it.

When I have parties in my apartment, people tend to lean against the stove and accidentally turn the gas on. Obviously, this is bad. The Stove Stopper 3000 fits snugly between the knob and the stove face-plate to prevent the knob from being depressed, and therefore, from turning.

I had been inspired by original and just made a printable version for my cupcake. The radius for the portion is 11mm and is sufficient for a single portion of pasta.

The second file has a radius of 14.5 mm and is for two persons.

My girlfriend challenged me to make a hand soap dispenser that is cooler than anything we could buy at Crate & Barrel (or similar stores). The result, after a number of design iterations, is this bottle which now inhabits our bathroom.

This dispenser is designed to reduce waste in a number of ways. First, it is easily refillable, and so can be used for many years. Second, as the pump is turned, liquid soap spills from the spout back into a hole in the bottle, thus recycling any drips. Third, this design makes it easy to get as much or as little soap as you want, while commercial soap pumps often dispense more soap than necessary with a single squeeze.

Anyone who has ever owned a crock-pot knows that using one is a high energy event that can easily lead to knob destruction making frantic temperature selections between Off, Low and High. One can get caught up in the massive dial selections while mentally salivating over the to-be-crocked feast.

Or so I'm told.

This knob was to replace a broken one my parents brought me, they said it worked perfectly and sent me a picture...

Crock on I suppose.

This spoon was made to fit exactly 7 grams of my favourite coffee brand. The amount i need to get a perfect cup of espresso from my coffee machine.

The Scad model is fully parametrized. You can easily change the volume (in mm3 steps) of the spoon, for example to measure two teaspoons of sugar, or anything else.

This is a pasta dryer, inspired from ones you can buy. But this one is printable!

This is a handle that I designed as a replacement for a broken Bakelite original part on a kitchen tool. It is generic enough that I think it could be repurposed for other applications.

Deliver up to 6 Spices onto your Meals like a Boss!

Saw a pic from a asian desinerpage with a similar approach.. and designed my own rightaway.


Wont Fit a ToM but try scaled down.

all need some outer support.

Grandpa is no longer as strong as he once was, and it hurts his wrists and hands to try to cut vegetables. Give him the Knife Assistant to provide a flat surface on almost any knife to push against comfortably. It also will keep the knife more controllably vertically aligned for nice straight slices.

I was inspired by jag's awesome tape dispenser and the new giant build platform of the Replicator to make a full size tape dispenser.

This is definitely a work in progress at the moment.

The only problem I envisioned with scaling up jag's idea was the weight (or lack thereof) of the dispenser. So I made room for something we all have lying around, AA batteries.

The idea is that you insert 6 used AA batteries into the bottom of the dispenser to act as the sand or metal weights normally found in desktop tape dispensers. This (in theory) will keep it from flying across your desk when you reach for some tape.

Edit: Added some additional files. "Tape Dispenser_tapewheel_hollow.stl" can be printed and fitted with a wooden dowel to act as an axle. I also separated the tape dispenser body and original tape wheel into individual STLs for selective printing.

I'm still not totally sold on the current tape wheel design but I think the Dispenser body is pretty close to what I want.

I do a lot of shopping at IKEA, whether it’s for disposable apartment furniture or cheap mechanical parts to use for DIY projects. Whenever I leave the store I always end up with a pocket full of those little golf pencils they have all over the store. I’m not a collector, it just happens.

Well I’ve decided they deserve a better life. One where they are used and not ignored because of their size in the bottom of a drawer. Time to liberate my miniature writing implements.

I've created a golf pencil dispenser inspired by the straw dispensers you see in restaurants. It also has a lid to keep it tidy and holes for screws on the back so it can be wall mounted.

This is a parametric version of the great Burgalicious from MatthiasT. It is bigger (12cm) as the size of my hamburger bread.

You can choose the size of your hamburger (diameter and size in the parametric SCAD).

Also, there is no text, it is plain, so it will print faster and it is made of only 2 pieces without nut or bolt. (even the handle is not so good).

This is my first design (or redesign)!:)

Kitchen cubboard door towel holder.

Just a simple wall hook with a bunch of variables to play with that changes sizes of the hook features.

I included 3 different sizes as examples.

My wife wanted me to buy more Ikea hooks for the kitchen... As I am too lazy I decided to design the hook in openscad and print some of them!

As a bonus, I designed a parameterized Ikea hook so that the diameter, length, width and height can be easily changed

My future DIL brought a broken plastic part, I scanned it and manufactured a (rough) replacement. It is not very accurate but a quick & dirty replacement.
If you expect a 1:1 copy, please give it a go yourself.
If you need something that's better then nothing, you can save a few minutes and just use this one.

I am not entirely sure which Ikea system this is from.


Sorry for the lack of pictures, its already put to use.

This is a replacement knob for our toaster. It was modeled in SketchUp and the STL file fixed by http://cloud.netfabb.com/

The knob fits onto the toaster's lever which has a cross section of 1mm x 12mm.

MY FIRST EVER THINGIVERSE UPLOAD, yaaaaaay!!

2-part biscuit/cookie cutter featuring (a derivate of) the logo of Metalab, our super awesome hackerspace. :) -> metalab.at/

"Metalebkuchen" is a play on words combining Metal[a]b & Lebkuchen, which is the German word for gingerbread. I haven't yet tested the cutter on actual gingerbread dough (which I've heard is a PITA to work with), but I already made regular biscuits with them yesterday & today and they turned out great!

This is the 2nd iteration of the cutter btw. All iterations realised with the help of wizard23 thingiverse.com/wizard23. Oh, and the LED in the picture is only there for size comparison reasons. ;)

My wife asked me to make some of these to keep the Saran Wrap off of her deviled eggs on the trip to relatives for Christmas.
This works like the little plastic thing in pizza boxes to keep the lid out of the cheese.
We used 4 per plate of eggs. Think tent poles.

This is a design I made to cut shapes into icing on our Christmas cake. It's about 100mm across, and will cut into thin icing - it might work for cookie dough, although I haven't tried.

I designed this in Sketchup, so have included the source file as well as the exported, and printable STL file.
