Simple LED Holder to mount two 5mm LEDs to shine down on the print bed of a PrintrBot LC

Pretty much identical to the one here thingiverse.com/thing:35402
except rectangular, with legs and a bent vacuum connection..
I also added more holes and grid lines to allow for more detailed molding

This device is a small saw table for tubes, slotting, ring making eta.

This is a Thing I have Built a Prusa Mendel with 1.8 Steppers and a RAMPS 1.4 SHield for an Arduino Mega.

Just an outline for a prop piece. Holes are to be done manually because of ow you want to wire it. Outer ring is for led with a Plexiglas ring over it. Roughly 4 inches no diameter and 1 inch tall. 99% sure this should print. Yet to try it my self... The image of the device is what it should look like after printing!

The like a proper design should be, USB jack is on the back of the Printrbot. I decided to do the same with the power plug so it was easier to connect. This also moved the PSU away from the printer for easier plugging and work on things.

These are mechanical design files for the project. They include electronics part covers, brackets for moving a solar panel using NEMA17 stepper motors, and brackets for holding a quadrature of LEDS to the solar panel.

I found an antique Hermes Baby typewriter in a shop. It was in working order but way too expensive, so I thought, "why not just print one?" I have a MakerBot, and I can print anything!

So I scanned the typewriter into an STL file, then used some CAD magic to split it into individual STL's ready for printing.

The finished product works wonderfully. I've made some modifications to reduce the depth of the keys and reduce the chance of jamming it.

This is a GPS module design and printed case to add GPS capability to a Nikon D200. It builds upon a previous design I made using a Garmin eTrex but now with the TOM it's much easier to build a nice looking case that fits well with the D200.

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.

We made this curved octopus for a sculpture at our hackerspace, and one of our artists added a paintbrush and started wearing it on her hair. I posted it to Facebook that night, and had a bunch of girls tell me "I WANT ONE!", so here it is on Thingiverse. :)

I will eventually edit 2 opposing tentacles to be closed loops for holding a chopstick, but for now the original octopus STL works just fine.

This is my second modified Prusa Mendel X Carriage that will fit the standard Mendel X axis. It uses PLA bushings instead of the standard bearings. These now clip in place and have pins on top that locate into generous spaces in the carriage. This allows the user to optionally bond the bushings in place by dropping glue, blu-tak, gum, earwax etc. into each hole.

This is designed not to fix to a Prusa Mendel, but to clamp to the Mendel drive belt using the 2 clamps provided in the design.

Two pinch extruders thingiverse.com/thing:8830 or one Wade extruder can be fitted to the carriage.

A pistol that can shoot NERF(TM) foam darts (amongst other things). Needs nothing other than some filament, 3 printed bits, 2 rubber bands and a foam dart.

It seems to generate more power than yer average foam dart gun, because I'm not bound by children's toys regulations. So, test it before using it in combat games.

It's parametric so you can change the grip size, dart dimensions and all sorts of stuff. No sights yet, and it could do with some clip on fancy grips, so hack away :)

This is a parametric design for a centrifugal fan. I wanted one that could take a knock or two to blow air into my forge with, so I designed one with parametric wall thickness, fan clearance, diameter, height, output nozzle and inlet hole diameter etc. It can be printed entirely without support material and the two halves are held together with 3xNo.8 screws.

The sample fan is 70mm in diameter and 45mm high. It uses a small 12V motor I salvaged, but can easily be modified (physically or programmatically) to suit a range of motors.

The forge now has an RP'd 110mm diameter blower, and that blows plenty of air into the tuyere. The motor I chose does not have a very high RPM. It can only just reach white heat with one fan, but does not melt even in PLA due to the high airflow. A much faster motor on a smaller printed blower produces a higher flow, so I'm sure I can get more out of it later.

If you want one with a handle on, see thingiverse.com/thing:8096

A espresso tamp for a 49mm portafilter.
May be possible to custom mold the handle

Printer it, the lip didn't work very so I am going to remove it besides that it works great

I created one of these stands some time ago in balsa. While it was good and did the job, I figured that with a laser cutter sitting here, I should update it!

This is more of an experiment than a practical object. The idea was to create a structure made from a printed frame with a thin plastic skin stretched over it.

The human powered internet cafe looks at the issues of renewable power generation and aims to educate users to the energy requirements of surfing the internet.

Users are asked to peddle the exercise bikes in order to turn a dynamo which would in turn power the computers. If users fail to peddle hard enough the computer monitors will begin to flicker encouraging them to peddle harder.

The thing would ideally be placed in public areas where all forms of society could view it and try it out for them selves, thus educating as many people as possible.

Hey, if youve been following me on the group ive wanted to make a lazor cutter attachment for my makerbot. I finally made one!! It fits a 200 mw laser pointer. Just change up the feed rate and itll cut or burn anything (dark). Enjoy!
