The thermal shrinking of printed things causes the boarder area to bend. This warping could be greatly reduced by this structure. Therefore most horizontal layers consists of squares. When the isolated squares shrink, it will not bend the hole object.

This OpenSCAD Script will generate custom blocks of x*y*z size of your choice. You should keep in mind the total numbers of elements, because of the increase of calculation time.

It is like the cubic crystal structure of Sodalith (#218, P43n).

Update V2: Optimized the script for a fast preview in Customizer..

This was a thoughtexperiment. I tried to design a printable spring. I'll try it out this weekend.

This is a parametric box, similar to those you can get at the hardware store, to keep small parts like screws or nuts. You can customise dimensions for your need.

Corners on the front rounded and mount corners on the back added

Fits my [parametric socket wrench](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:90232) or any standard socket wrench.

Get the STL file for a 7mm socket with a 1/4" drive, or customize the scad file for any depth, socket, and drive size.

I really liked the spool holder by nlancaster, but (i) it was a bit tough to print nicely (it was my third print ever, though :); and (ii) the newer Solidoodle spools seem to have larger diameter.

Modified snap-in spool holder, that:
1. Is fully parametric! You can change mounting point, arm length, angle, clip diameter and orientation, etc.
2. Is much simpler to print (but perhaps not as pretty)
3. Adds screw counter-sink
4. Includes full SCAD source (could use some cleanup)

The outer bracket and tower could be one piece, except it's too large for the SD2 .

ChangeLog:
- 5/23: Fixed some non-manifoldness SCAD issues on towers (pls let me know if you find parameters that produce non-manifold STLs).
- 5/22: Fully parametric version, for Thingiverse Customizer. Also included additional mounting options inspired by yakwool's remix (plan to test those soon, once I get around to building a case which could use extra clearance).
- 5/20: Initial version (non-parametric).

Reduce your drinking glass consumption!

We often had the same situation at home especially in the summer when you (should) drink a lot: There are many tumblers standing around so which one is mine? hmm - don't know - let's take a new one.
To get rid of that unnecessary consumption just print a few of these in different colors and put them onto your drinking glasses.

My first attempt at a lasercuttable, parametric paper flyer holder. It's meant to be pined to a bulletin board and hold flyers, busines cards etc. Parametric so that peopel can easily cut out the holder they need.

They’re basically two hollow spheres, except with one has slots in the side so it can flex to shrink, this makes them easier to fit together with larger allowed tolerances on size.(easier to print)

They’re not actually a hose like for water. There are plainly holes in it.(though if at the right angle wrt gravity, it doesnt seem to come out) I made it with the idea that it’d still move but hold a lightweight camera(/other things) in place.

As usual, [the github](https://github.com/o-jasper/various_physibles) contains development versions.

I just edited the source file of the thing:84564 for making it customizable.
Thanks Ablapo.
Please refer the Description & Instructions below.
thingiverse.com/thing:84564

Make your own letters. One set for C,D,G,I,L,P,R,T,Y. Two sets for all letters except E,N. Three sets for everything.

Working out how to make each letter is left as an exercise to the reader.

Spinning top with weight mainly pushed to the edge, rather than the centre as is more normal. The top is spoked to further reduce central weight.

##Wrench
A socket wrench with a different sized drive at each end. Download the STL file for a 1/4" drive at one end and a 1/2" drive at the other, or customize the included scad file for whatever size wrench and drive(s) you need. Set either of the drive sizes to zero for a wrench with only one drive.

Goes great with my [parametric hex socket](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:91496).

This is a handle that mounts via an M8 socket head cap screw (SHCS) or hex bolt/nut. I use it on the same that normally holds my horizontal spool roller on the top of my rostock-mini when it's in use.

The handle is parametric so you can make it a different size by editing the OpenSCAD file. The two STL files provided will work with either a round SHCS or with a hex head bolt or a hex nut.

Cable holder that can be attached with a screw.

The STL is only an example, the SCAD file is parametric and allows to you to customize the amount of comb teeth, height, width, etc.

Dastardly simple tweezers, easy print too.. Took two iterations to get right anyway. Pretty surprising how few (plain)tweezers there are on thingiverse.

If i'd do a third iteration i'd make the front opening wider, so bigger things can be picked up, plenty of flex anyway.

I do kindah expect it to be inferior to metal tweezers, not sure though.

I may use paper to draw designs on, but reading it while using the laptop, it gets in my way. So i put yet another thing to clamp onto the plank.

Works pretty well for me, though i do have to push the paper high enough so it doesnt slide loose too easily.(the paper block has to be thick enough too.) I also needed to use rubber bands to grip it better. None of the tape i had had enough grip, though some did better than the plastic.

NOTE: the version i tested had some slicing issue and i added some stuff since it, but i inspected things, so probably it is fine. (feedback appreciated)

As usual, development versions [at github](https://github.com/o-jasper/various_physibles).

I liked both Emmett's gear bearing and tjhowe's parametric airless tire. The next step was to put the bearing in the tire!

The stl uploaded is the original diameter gear bearing with 20mm of airless tire around it. I have shrunk the thickness to 12mm and beefed up the spokes of the tire to 0.8mm so should print as two filament thicknesses.

The OpenSCAD file is just both files from the orignal creators in the same document with a couple of minor edits make it hang together.

This derivation of the Airtripper Bowden extruder (version 3.0) centers more parts and holes and parameterizes filament size, tolerant at least between 1.75 and 3mm. Default settings are for a 3mm filament with a Raptor drive gear (11.5mm diameter MK7 gear with 10.6mm groove). The Bowden tube outer diameter is presumed to be 6mm. The mounting holes are also parametric and are set up here with grooves for 3mm bolts, good for attachment to beam extrusions.

This is the parametric version of my cable clamp (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:87452)

Parameters are:
clamp_dia (inner diameter)
clamp_height (height of the clamp)
clamp_wall (wall thickness)
handle_angle (angle of the handles)

Update 2013-05-13:
handle_wall (handle wall thickness)

Update 2013-0518:
Added text on handles.
New paremeters are:
text
text_thickness
text_height

One-sided "Milky Way" style Stargate, including gate symbols (unlike other Stargate things currently available).
Now includes 'offworld' staircase/platform to be printed separately.

I wanted a box that I could print without support and would be resizable without doing anything else. Slic3r has problems with this over a certain size. The uprights I had to make at least 3mm before it would print properly.
Enjoy

I couldn't find a thumb for the following PCB joystick. So I designed one using OpenSCAD
il.rsdelivers.com/product/alps/skqucaa010/pcb-stick-switch-4-dir-centre-push/0516316.aspx
I'm using it for the LAOS controller board.
redmine.laoslaser.org/projects/laos/wiki/LAOS_I2C_Panel_v04

Variations are welcome, like the nintendo NES controller perhaps?

**Very much** a **work in progress**, ImplicitCAD does not seem to output `.stl`/`.obj` files that slic3r likes. Also I dont think the pen would grab the lead well.

`pen.stl` provided went through meshlab using the 'Surface reconstruction poison' remeshing with octtree depth 10. (..Which isnt perfect, it changes the surface, i think )

Slic3r does some funky things(it might be the model) at the bottom, probably want to watch the start of the print, so you know it doesnt come off.

I was annoyed by all the delays largely caused by software stuff so i decided to just publish the WIP.

Development version at [github](https://github.com/o-jasper/various_physibles)

NOTE: the thingiview is slow on this one

I always have a copy of Emmett's brilliant Gear Bearing out on the coffee table - it's such a great talking point and introduction to 3D printing - and recently someone I showed it to suggested it might make an interesting bangle. I'm not sure about its fashion-worthiness, but as a printing challenge I thought it was an excellent idea.
I had already used an idea by Sal to print gear bearings with large circular holes instead of small hexagonal ones (http://www.thingiverse.com/make:26306), so I just took this up to the next level. I have posted the modified .scad file so the design is still fully parametric, and also a copy of the STL file that works with the tolerances on my printer.
Here is the video of the bangle working as a gear bearing (but not as a fashion item!) youtube.com/watch?v=Qt39vLo5l90

robmartin701 had the great idea of making a stepped ring mandrel - I was so happy to finally get an inexpensive version of this type of tools... well... but I live in Europe, we are measuring ring sizes differently.
So I made this version with inner diameter sizes (in millimeters).

If sizes 16mm to 21mm are not what you need: I tried to make this thing parametric

Will add pictures of the printed thing later...

[From this thing](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:27097) by padorange, in turn by derived from clothbot.

It is an [ImplicitCAD](http://implicitcad.org/) file. However it turns out it works with regular openscad too.

(this required near-zero work for me :) )

This model inspired by [Magnetic Bit Holder - Parametrized by Nudel_P](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2443).
I made it double-side and add customized inscription.

##Customizable options:
- Number of slots on one side.
- Inscription.

This is a clip that snaps over the top of a Baby Jogger City Series stroller handle so that you can suspend a small bag between the handles. (You provde the bag.) It uses the screw holes on the handle as secure attachment points. Print two, one for each side (they are reversible.)

Pool table model with channels.

Comes with split versions so you can print it easier, suggest print the bottom with support and the top with support up-to some level, so that there is no support in the channel.

Made it for a little 'competition'. Actually since it was so small slic3r ditched the playing area for some reason so i scaled it up vertically. I had also not yet split it up. But the files seem alright so why not publish.

This is a parametric suction cup mount (designed for auto windshields) for cell phones or GPS units. It has a ball & socket style adjustable mounting arm to allow you to reposition the angle of the device.

The provided STL file for the "rectangular holder" is for a Nokia Lumia 920 phone, but by editing the SCAD file you can re-generate the rectangular holder to fit anything that will fit into a rectangular hole.
