Here are more parts for the cube farm playset:
- side chair
- keyboard
- monitor (design stinks, but here it is)
- coffee mug

This is a power user's cube since it has mrbug's server rack (thing:8060)

this is an add-on to thing:8012, see hintss's raised computer floor (thing:8070)

This is a cube farm playset project to honor all of us who toil on in the corporate rat maze and keep America going.

If you decide to create something for this project, please add the tag: cube_farm so that we can find it and add it to our cube farm playset. I provided some dimensioned pictures for those who do not use Google Sketchup.

I sorta plan to eventually add things like: computer monitor, keyboard, chair, wall clips etc. Or maybe I will add a laser cannon to zap noisy co-workers.

Useless Machine

The Useless Box has been featured on Make Magazine blog.makezine.com/archive/2010/01/leave_me_alone_box.html, plus many other instructables and YouTube videos.

We've designed this box and mechanism to make it easy for anybody with a laser (!) to build one of their own.

We've added fresh assembly documentation on our kit page, under "resources" at: solarbotics.com/products/60005/resources/

This is a multipart house. The model is from the sketchup gallery and was heavily modified to make it printable.

The house was printed in white PLA with a layer height of 0.25mm on my Rapman 3.1

This is a set of Pentomino pieces in a handy carry case with swivel top. I designed it a few years ago after reading 'Chasing Vermeer' by Blue Balliett in which the main character solves a crime with the help of pentominoes. It's Nintendo DS size and a clear cover prevents the pieces from falling out. Later I made a batch of larger sets for our Maths department.

There are 2 layers of 3mm and 1 layer of 2mm acrylic. The surround of the Top layer was bonded to the Base layer with thin acrylic cement, Tensol 7. An M3 lock-nut is inserted from the very bottom and held in place by an M3 countersunk fastener that also allows the clear cover to swivel.

One of the files is in *.dtd format for direct use in UK schools where Techsoft 2D Design is widely used to laser cut.

This is a pair of mirror-image rattleback models derived from jasay's original thing.

When the "cw" model is spun clockwise it will reverse direction to spin counterclockwise.

When the "ccw" model is spun counterclockwise it will reverse direction to spin clockwise.

These are outer pieces that fit onto Hoeken's original twisted triangle. (both square and circular)

As part of my ongoing project with NASA/RISG on data actualization for the blind, visually challenged and just anyone wanting to get a hands on feel for extraterrestrial structures, here is a print of Gusev crater on Mars. The actual crater is about 167 km in diameter and was the landing site for the now-stationary mars rover Spirit.

I have a cat who likes to sleep in my pots and pans cupboard. I don't much like cat fur in my pans, though. So I designed and printed this cupboard latch. Works great!

Milk Carton. One version has "milk" text on the outside, the Milky4 version is blank so you can customize as you wish. Be clever and use a height map to put a friend's face on the side.

Model of a fish (loach, botia) with a hole in the tail for making a keychain, earrings or similar dangling thing.

The fish is about 7 cm long and split into simmetric halves to be easily printed.

We hope you will enjoy and share alike this fish thing #4444!

Created by hobbit, oxiigen and fileneed, from wish to fish in one (extended) evening.

Just in time for Halloween! Ghostly glow in the dark keyring.
Attach your car/house keys to this and you'll be able to locate them in total darkness. If lost in forest/dark areas, just use UV flashlight to sweep the surroundings and your keys just pop out.

Strong enough to handle everyday use (2mm thick) and not too big for the pocket.

Designed to be printed with glow in the dark plastic but works well as keyring with different colors too.

Fast to print (~10min), so if you're owner of ABP, you'll be able to equip your whole family with these never-to-lose keyrings in notime.

I was thinking about the optimal stage set up for the MakerBot to increase the maximum buildable area. This is the outcome:

My idea: Creating the whole stage from one big extruded/casted (aluminum?) piece, just adding a motor, a belt and rails. If that actually works, what about using the same pieces for all three stages? Wouldn't that be awesome? It could be quite precise and very, very cheap to produce!

What do you think?

Best of all: This design is size independent - the base, belts and rails can be produced at arbitrary lengths! So give it a try with a 10m stage!

Allow me to dream away for a while... :-)

I've seen a lot of puzzle-shaped things on Thingiverse, and thought it was a nice shape to use for a desktop organizer thing. Shapes are 10mm to 80mm high.

Update: I added 90mm and 100mm to complete the set.

A simulated tree. This is more in the fun with quasi-fractals genre. This prints more nicely than my original fractal tree thing:3373. No spaghetti is produced since each layer is a continuous path.

The "branches" and "leaves" are each 1.5 mm wide so they should print two strings of plastic thick.

See thing:4787 for .stl for roots similar to Zomboe's roots.

CHUCK
Chuck is under-cut on its interior to make it flexible(printable overhangs)
Single size replaceable chuck must be bored to size of your work piece.
Since you use the tail stop chuck to drill the main chuck your work piece will always be centered.
The nut for the chuck is a plumbing nut for sink traps or ?????(you can print it but strength my be an issue)
The chuck has no threads and should not need any

UPRIGHTS
One simple upright used four times to make the headstock and tailstock

Y-CARRIAGE
Four piece Y-carriage using 3 608-bearings, W/lever to engage or disengage from main lead screw using half of a M8 Nut.

X-CARRIAGE
One Piece X-Carriage uses one M8 nut

This is an episode of "Will It Print?" :)

I designed this almost 13 months ago, but back then, I couldn't manage to successfully print on my MakerBot. So I forgot about it.
Today, I found the files on my hard disk and tried it again...

Surprise: It prints! (sort of)

There's some serious oozing going on (see pictures). Also Skeinforge moans and groans when slicing this one...

What surprised me most: after breaking away the support parts and cleaning it up, it turns out that the three rings indeed interlock. There's no way to separate them without breaking at least one of them...

We had an acquired a ton of cardboard shelving we didn't know what to do with at CCCKC, so I made some cardboard cows to give out at the KC Mini-Maker Faire, many of which were given away with our marshmallow gun kits as targets.

Here's one in the wild:

This is a printable First aid kit container, sized per the US Forest Service Standard 6170-6H: fs.fed.us/t-d/programs/fire/documents/0006/6170_6H.pdf

This is a Type I, personal first aid kit. You could buy a complete kit from somewhere, but you probably have most of the contents under your bathroom sink - if so, you can print yourself (and friends and family) a handy case.

Per the forest service document the kit should contain:
3x Povidone iodine swabs
2x 2" by 2" Gauze pads
2x 2" by 3" Non-stick pads
6x 1" by 3" Woven adhesive bandages
4x 1/2" by 2-3/4" Butterfly bandages
1 roll 2" x 4 yards elastic
1 pair Non-latex gloves
1 Mouth-to-Mouth barrier
1 Towelette
1 Biohazard bag
1 roll 1/2" x 2.5 yards Adhesive Tape
2x 4" by 4" Moleskin
1 Face Mask
2 packets Aspirin (2 tablets)
2 packets Acetaminophen (2 tablets)

You can fill it with that or not, of course.
