My Second design of a small geometric sculpture that explores the battle between cake and pie

Support to hold a PS3 Eye horizontally.
This is a first draft, hopefully there will be an improved second draft,.. soon ;)

Dremel Flex-Shaft + MakerBot + MakerBeam + OpenSCAD = (Micro CNC Mill | Drill Press)

Expect future refinements, but this is the first version that works on my Batch 1 MakerBot.

This is a dollhouse I made for my niese, Katrin. It is 47 cm tall and 42x49 cm wide, and made of wood (MDF). It can be the home of dolls with a height of about 8-10 cm.

More furniture will come as Katrin grows a bit older;-)

A corner bracket to mount an iPad to something flat. Gives the slightest bit of clearance beneath the back of the iPad and the thing you are mounting it to. Glue some strong magnets to each corner for a quick and dirty iPad refrigerator mount! Print it on it's side to print without supports...

Also part of the upcoming iPad Pinball Machine...

This is a base for a bicycle light

For my wedding in October 2011 I asked my fiance if I could build something, she only asked that it not be tacky. This is what I came up with. It's a modular folding photo booth. I designed the model in Sketchup, programmed it in Autoit, and gave it a nice Glados voice. I needed an input device and I decided to make a serial comm button. I took a 555 timer and made it generate a 4.8kHz square wave. At 9600 baud this translates to UUUUUUUU plus one garbage character when the button is released. for now it only uses a Webcam to take photos but hopefully I will be find a deal on a canon power shot sometime in the next months to upgrade it. Since the printouts are resized, the small webcam resolution isn't noticable, however it won't be suitable if i wanted to incorporate the singles frames into a album. I'm working on some upgrades using the twitter api so I can have the booth update me whenever it is taking photos. This way I can tell it's status and share photos easier.


Here is a video of it's assembly and the software.

This is the result of my efforts to produce a reliable hot end for RepRap, using minimal components and tools. In it's most recent incarnations, you no longer need to tap threads for the MIG welder tip, make the nozzle clamp, or cut a slot for the power resistor.

The original instructions are on the RepRap Wiki (http://reprap.org/wiki/Wildseyed_Simple_Hot_End), but I'm not wiki savvy, so I think I'll be posting the progress here first from now on, and updating the Wiki with well tested results.

This is my conversion from google that is one solid mesh(well, excet for the supports which are separate). It printed out superb.

this is a spoolguide to relieve stress on the extruder motor and help work along better with the spool holder.

This hot end is the result of my attempt to build the Wildseyed Simple Hot End by jcabrer for my Simpler repstrap. I live in Metric land, along with the ROW (rest of the world) which started my journey down the path less taken to begin with...

I noticed that it would be possible to use the previously unused M6 thread on the MIG tip to our advantage, and make the tip itself easily exchangeable. This design also makes the fitting of the PTFE easier and more precisely aligned than I could manage on Wildseyed, with the unexpected bonus of a double seal on the PTFE rod.

Using the gas connector nipple also gives a flat face for the heater, making working with nichrome a bit easier, giving you a choice of heater technology.

Note that this hot end is very definitely a work in progress, and that the instructions will be updated as I go along.

This is a fork
You can Eat with it
You can stab things with it
You can launch it with a device made to launch such objects


This thing has changed the world, can you?

This is a lotus or rose or what ever is most Awesome. I made this as a gift for someone so I went the extra mile and made some brass leafs colored green and Copper wire stems so oxidize them in a brown green tone. I went to TIG the copper to the stainless stalk but It was too small so I just brazed it. I ended up Threading the stem to use a 4/40 nylon acorn nut below the flower and a 4/40 acorn nut at the top to look real.

Here is my Low cost solution to the insulator clamp used on RepRap Extruders

Here are the drawngs for :

16mm peek insulator clamp with 6mm extruder barrel.

10mm peek insulator clamp with 6mm extruder barrel.

8mm peek insulator clamp with 4mm extruder barrel.

Last picture shows from left to right a 16mm Peek 10mm Peek 8mm Peek insulators

I have been working on a makerbot that is controlled by the adafruit motor shield. I made all the parts and wooden pieces by hand using a saw. Once i had all the wooden pieces I put it together and added 2 nema 17 stepper motors for the x and y axis. I used a parallax continous rotation servo for the z axis. The code isbased on some code by Max Livesey and I edited it so it will 3d print instead of ploting. I built the whole thing for around 250 us dollars.
(it is using an arduino mega so analog pins can be used with an extruder board i built)

This is a fan grille for an 80mm fan, with 7 vanes. It will be guarding the fan ducts for an upcoming MTU IEEE thing, keep your eyes posted!

Update: added DXF file as requested.
