Generate it in any size.

Has an experimental feature to include an extra set of inner walls to protect the hinges from the contents. By drawing the hinge lines in a zig zag pattern, plotting time is reduced significantly.

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.

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

This is a parametric version of FdS' flex-box.
You can edit the file using your favorite text editor (notepad, vi, emacs, pico) to change the height, width, and length of the box. Then send the file to your laser cutter and you will have yourself an awesome little box.

edit: v 1.1 some clean-up and bug fixes

This is a plate to mount gen6 electronics on the side of a Prusa Mendel RepRap. It was designed to be cut on a laser cutter out of 3mm acrylic or plywood, but it should be easy to cut on a cnc router too.

Anyone who has operated a laser cutter knows that the surface to be cut needs to be as flat as possible.

This simple clamp helps you to level the sheets of wood, acrylic, etc when laser cutting.

The shaft is 5 mm in diameter.

This 6 packer is made of .093 (3/32) thick clear acrylic.

For Thing-A-Day Day 01 I created a pegboard suitable for mounting and testing gear trains and similar, using Tony Buser's fabulous Pin Connector V2 tools. I figured this tool might be useful for the MakerBot Clock Makers project and for educators and students looking to explore basic gear mechanics. This tool will become more useful as people (maybe you? maybe me?) generate tools to lock gears into place for heavier use.

Here is a template to cut some eyeglass / sunglass frames from a laser cutter.

This is a derivative of timogiles’ original “6 Packer” model. Specifically, this started as his design, generated for 1/8" material. I then hand-optimized the pieces to allow parts to better share cut lines. Finally, I (barely) squeezed it to fit on to two 24" x 12" boards.

This design also inclues an etched QR code directing people to the downloadable files.

Say hello to the 6 Packer, the awesomest way to transport your glass bottled beverage of choice. The 6 Packer is constructed of 3/16" thick laser cut ply wood and assembled with 4-40 1/2" screws and nuts. The bottle holes will accept anything from the run of the mill long neck bottles to IBCs to short chubby craft beer bottles.

The 6 Packer was designed with openscad and is completely parametric. You can change material thickness, bottle diameter, fastener size, hand grip size re-render and cut out using your favorite laser cutter!

What's that? You don't have a laser cutter? You can purchase a 6 packer directly from me over at Etsy. timogiles.etsy.com Enjoy!

LED light Guide

This will fit on a standard LED.

Any image can be added to the light guide and the image will light up when the LED is ON.

Similar to a small edge lit sign.

This diy Chess game is fun to make and play>

Frame holder for 4 led lights that clips in beside the extruder head. i run mine from the fan switch (mosfet 2 on extruder board) and it works great.

A mini digger executive toy. 4 moveable joints, rotating base, 2 arm joints and bucket control from the 2 levers at the back.

These are available as kits through my website.

Explanation of the Prusa's thick sheet is here: reprap.org/wiki/Thick_Sheet

This design has a few improvements:

-Support for Prusa Iteration 2's single thick sheet design.
-There are holes for belt clamps, lm8uu bushings, and Prusa's heated bed.
-Holes in the middle of the thick sheet to reduce weight.
-The edges of the holes are rounded to prevent stress from concentrating in small areas.


The design could be improved by adding holes to mount something for opto endstops and slots for LM8UU holder zip ties.

Update: I adjusted position and size of the holes for the belt clamp (so the belt can be shorter), heated build plate (was a tight fit in original), and LM8UU holes (so no print area is lost).

friends son wanted a space shuttle for school so drew up and lasered this, boy was he happy

as it says a flying dragon set up as dxf for laser

With the new series of GoT coming I saw this advert as a pencil drawing and I thought it would make a really nice wood and veneer piece.

This is part of the tweet controlled ping pong ball launcher made for the BBC world service radio show "Click"

This is the 5th redesign on the device, as designs that included a hopper were prone to jamming.

This upgrade is a drop-in replacement for the stock eMAKER bearing holders. Mine failed under regular use and I was prompted to design something better. Instead of wood screws, these use small zip-ties and attach to an eMAKER Huxley without permanent modification to the machine.

Advantages of my upgrade:
-part count remains the same or is reduced
-easier installation
-won't fail under regular use
-uses less printing material
-no overhangs; easier to print

A personalised launchpad for model rockets. One of the legs is adjustable for uneven surfaces (although I think I read once you are more likely to get a table level by rotating it)

Made as a Christmas present,

This a boat i made for my cousin for Christmas. When extruded and the mast and sails are but on it will float and can even be used in the bath. He loved it and can be "blown" across a still surface. The boat has a rudder but before printing please eddit the rudder so it has a thickness. Currently it has no thickness and doesnt print.
Please note files with the same name but not suffix are the same just a different file type not different contents.

This is a mdf made linbin.

Plastic linbins arn't cheap, and you can't just buy a few fold-able cardboard ones. So lasercut them instead!

Designed for 3mm material. I make mine out of mdf!

Build platforms are sensitive to changes in temperature and can affect your prints. After testing a few iterations here is a design that is ready to share; I call it the Bot Window. I know what your thinking, what a creative and catchy name. :) Ok, truth be told its a simple but effective design that consists of acrylic panels to cover three sides of the bot (left, right and rear (and gets bolted on using left over MBI parts).

This summer the space I was in had a non-controllable AC where temps were around 55F, yes you read that right, (95F outside at the time). After blocking off air vents to decrease windflow in the room and covering three sizes of the MB (left, rear and right) with cardboard the temps went up to the 65F range. Using a make-shift hood on top (think barn roof) this got me to the 69F+ range and more importantly back to good prints without lifting of edges from rapid cooling.

With drafts from outside and windows in the new space the window panels have taken the chill off the platform (reduced draft) and keeping me in the mid 80's consistently. This design is based off of the MBI TOM MP887 Rev-I design file and will rest on top of the cover plates of the rods running from front to back.

If you have access to a laser cutter or know someone that has one, this will be quick work.

Panels were cut courtesy of my friend Angus Hines (http://www.angushines.com), thanks Angus!

Just a simple sled that mount for a BeaglBone and a 400-point breadboard that's pretty useful for quick prototyping with the BeagleBone.

Looking to remake of the original puzzle by Sabu Oguro, I stumbled across a set of dxf files for each piece already on thingiverse
thingiverse.com/thing:1453

I ended up modifying each file to round off the corners and create a single path for the laser to cut around, I also added a tray to hold all the pieces in the basic shape.
