It's a radiation shield for a toaster that leaves a shroud of turin-style jesus image on every slice of toast. In short, it's a miracle that is well within your reach.

This shape is a world record holder you need 20 tiles before it will tile the plane periodically (10 up to symmetry). It fits together in an amazing variety of ways but can easily block itself. Making it a fun puzzle.

The tiles were found by a massive computer search by Joseph Myers. Look for this and other puzzling shapes at: srcf.ucam.org/~jsm28/tiling/

The idea to make physical tiles was originally from Chaim Goodman-Strauss: mathbun.com

This is a large (20+" diameter) mechanical clock originally designed to be cut with waterjet. It could be cut also with a laser, if the right materials are used.

the only non-cnc parts are shafts and tubes that go over the shafts, and a few screws to bolt the front to the back.

the design is based on two different wooden clocks from woodenclocks.co.uk/the_clocks.html (Clock 1 and Clock 2). The wooden clocks don't have second hands, but I added one to my design.

The front gear on the right shaft is connected to the ratchet and pawl mechanism and can be used for winding the weight back up again.

This is an iPhone stand that can be machined, waterjet, or printed. It's called COG because it keeps the center of gravity of the phone over the base, no matter what angle you set it at. The different flat spots around the back are used as the feet.

This can also be used to set the camera at a certain angle for timelapse or video using gorillacam or your favorite photo app.

This sliding shade straps to your vehicle's sun visor. The shade extends to block the sun from your eyes when the visor is not long enough.

I have the DLO HybridShell for iPhone 3G, 3G S case for my iPhone. All the car mounts I found for the iPhone were custom fit for a iPhone without a case, so I had to build a custom holder, and this is what I came up with.
I have used this for a month or so driving tractor and my iPhone never once jumped out of it. It is open on the bottom so the charger can be plugged in. I just mounted it with double sided tape, and it worked fine.

Well since ipaddummy.net has caught up with the times I guess it's time to stop selling my MDF iPad and give away my files.
Both examples were made at NextFabStudio.com
The printed version with glass was for John Young at tikaro.com.

These are the production files for Shapercube 2.0, the cool, solid like a rock 3D printer from Germany. It is approx 42x41x42cm big and has a print surface of approx. 190x200x185mm (X/Y/Z).

The DXF file is ideally 5mm aluminum, cut with a water-jet (a powerful laser would work too).

The DXF file include an experimental mount for a second extruder, which limits the X movement to ~140mm.

The STL files have to be printed out on a 3D printer.

All files are published under GPLv2 or later.

The STL files include original and derivative work from:

This is a Greek wall art thing that I laser cut for my girlfriends parents as a Christmas gift. It's a verse from a famous Greek song about a young girl. I think it looks cool because the Greek alphabet has some pretty funky looking letters.

I will place a few more pics and video on sharemake.com of another acrylic one that I also cut.

I will also post the translation once I find it again.

this sheet includes almost every laser cut part you need to have a plasterer m5 (recommended you have someone print a mk5 wades style instead of using the plywood pieces thingiverse.com/thing:6402 or an improved version) and a makerbot with as much adaptability as i could fit on the 4"x4'sheet and a frostruder v2

the lasercut parts of a makerbot and 2 tool heads in one file.
files i have are from svn.makerbot.com/trunk/

Parametric sprocket for various roller-chain or catepillar-track drive applications.

Update: generated STL file for bicycle front sprocket with these parameters (measurements in inches):

A 2D multi-tool design that is meant to work on 1/2", 7/16", 3/8", 5/16", 1/4", and #10 hex bolts as well as hex screw bits, and it has a bottle opener. I gave it away as the "Claire's choice award" at the Atlanta mini-maker fair at Georgia Tech (our mascot is a yellow jacket, which is why it looks a like a honeycomb). I hope to improve the bottle opener design soon.

Steel rabbit target. Bulls eye is a trigger. When hit, the target spins Powered by a weight on a cable which is wrapped around an axle. Made of materials to withstand low caliber shots.

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 idea has been floating around in my head for a while. It will be made into necklaces out of metal.

This is an hexagonally-tessellating lizard tile closely based on M.C. Escher's famous design. This vector art has lived on my old personal homepage, since 2008, at

Recently, Angus Hines (http://angushines.com) downloaded it and used it to lasercut a bunch of ~3" tiles in fluorescent acrylic (which are shown in the attached images), and it occurred to me it was probably time to share these files on Thingiverse.

Update 2011-12-15: Angus just sent me these photos of some lizards printed on FDM/FFF equipment, and I've uploaded them, as well as the .STL and .CDR files he sent along with. Thanks, Angus!

This is a full set of .STL files for the ArduCopter Quad frame and a mostly complete set of DXF files. There was a user on a DIY Drones Post offering up the open source files in any format. I simply asked for .STL. The DXF set was from a user that made a carbon fiber frame.

This is the Snowman by ChristineBowyer except I added the following:
//this will flatten the object for dxf export
//comment out if you want 3D
projection(cut = false)

This allows you to export as a DXF file. If you want the version with thickness comment that line out.

This is a concept that I came up with when I wanted to design my own bookmark. I'm an avid reader and resorted to using Post-It notes to bookmark my novels and textbooks. After a while I realized that it was a very practical approach, but not at all aesthetically pleasing to the eye. So given my innate desire to design and create, I knew that the only sensible thing to do was to design my own product, one that could not be purchased at a bookstore or ordered online. I wanted authenticity.

It had to be functional yet elegant, simple yet creative. And after some initial design sketches, I finally came up with the Tree Origins bookmark. As seen in the item picture, it is designed to resemble a tree in an abstract way. Although seemingly organic in its shape, the geometry is actually quite symmetrical. The disparate nature of its design is what makes the idea work.

I produce this bookmark using a flexible and resilient high-gloss PVC plastic material.The flexible property enables it to easily 'squeeze' pages together to produce a firm hold.

If you like the design, please spread the love =)
