I somehow missed out on the existence of this thing throughout my entire childhood. Rather than use your teeth this LEGO block separator can be used to disconnect stuck bricks.

I haven't printed this one out just yet, but I believe it should print without any issues.

1/30/13 Edit: I got around to printing this out and it works as expected. Print on!

Needed a spike for holding down the hose in the garden. Can't just use a piece of bent wire can I?

The x6.stl is spaced so using ditto on sailfish will double the output producing 12 instead of 6.

(Posted version is reenforced from the ones shown in the picture but I recomend an aceton vapor bath before using them to solidify the outside.)

This is a water bottle cage for a bicycle.

It is separated into three parts for easy printing. The two rings insert into the bar, and all three pieces are screwed into place at the mounting points on the bike. The bottom of the bar has been reinforced to prevent breaking.

Made in Wings 3D needs to be scaled to print

It's everyone's favorite Seleucid-era* toy, just in time for Hannukah! You know the drill: print it out, get some friends together, and battle it out for the future of humankind on this planet**!

(** well, chocolate coins. Still, chocolate's yummy!)

A replica parametric Filament Spool Model.

It includes the detail of where the label goes and the holes for filament retention.

This is a keychain based in the "Perry the Platypus inaction figure" from the series Phineas & Ferb.

UPDATED: Left legs turned to make it look exactly as right ones.

I don't know if this is cool to upload, considering its trademarks. But I see a lot of other Nintendo stuff on here, so I expect that it's OK.

For the record, this is Arial Black, bolded. I don't know how this lines up with the original logo, but it looks pretty close.

Also, I assume this will print, but my gen 3 circuit board has died and it's no longer for sale. Until I figure something out, I'm out of commission.

Small clip that snap on to spools and holds the end of the filament to prevent it from unraveling. There are several versions, should work with spools from the following suppliers:

Octave
Up!
Ultimachine
3DD

Lots of rechargable batteries = confusion. Now I can use this to store both full and empty ones and remember which is which.

This is a universal paste extruder for RepRap and other 3D printers.

It allows you to experiment with various pastes on your 3D printer without the need for any air compressor equipment or valves etc.
It simply uses the existing Extruder motor output from your printer’s electronics.

It's designed to fit on the Quick-Fit X Carriage Thing 19590-

thingiverse.com/thing:19590

And it will also fit on Prusa and Greg style X carriages.

7th-4-2012- Split and added Gear set on two plates for Cupcake and smaller build-bed machines.

I challenge you to make one that works with 50ml Syringes! or do a fully parametric version in SCAD :)

And a very big thank you to Greg Frost (and derivatives) for the wonderful work done on the Parametric Involute Bevel and Spur Gears script, without this, the gear set would have taken me a lot more time to make.

It can be really tricky to screw something together when you don't have enough space to hold the nut with your finger in position. So I added support for a cap on the closed side of the wrench which can be used to hold a nut in position while screwing.

This wrench is a derivate of gr0bs customizable wrench (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:47842).

Also includes some minor enhancements:
- deeper engraving
- kerf size tightened
- lowered text height

Here is my Magnum Opus for the week!

VEND is a totally 3D Printed candy dispenser that accepts quarters and rejects other coins.

VIDEO: youtu.be/IWuvwcfnGFE

Not only that, it has been designed so that once the loops in the back are secured with a padlock or whatever, it can't come apart (without damage). The back hatch secures the money and access to the coin mechanism's locking pins. The collar around the jar keeps the jar from being removed.

The hole on the top will take a preserving lid ring for a standard "medium" Mason jar. That lets you thread the jar to the top, and the collar will secure it in place. Or you can go totally legit and print the provided jar file. (not .JAR file).

Also, this version is EXTREMELY generous. For a quarter, it will give you about a dollar's worth of M&Ms, Skittles, Mike and/or Ikes, Chiclets or glass marbles.

I don't recommend the marbles.

I'll provide a few different drums to adjust the generosity of the machine soon.

UPDATE: I've uploaded all the STL files. My prototype is still printing so I'll hold off on the source files until a legitimate test.

Stay tuned!

A Viking Age-styled wooden longhouse! Its modeled in 15mm scale, mostly so I can use it with my Pocket-Tactics miniatures. The inside floor is patterned in a 15mm grid map for increment-based RPG or miniature game play. Had some issues with curling, though I'm looking into ways to reduce that. Also have some furnishings in the works.

This is the point where I try to say something clever about Guy Fawkes or Anonymous or V for Vendetta. But to tell the truth, I'm kinda tapped out already with all the rest of my Guy Fawkes stuff.

Dual Extruder version only, sorry.

Turbines have awesome power in a small package. This one spins up to 60,000 rpm using the airflow of a standard vacuum cleaner, sounds like a 747 taking off, produces amazing power, and sucks up its own dust!

This is an opportunity for someone to make a successful product. I have no commercial interest, and would be delighted if anybody developed it further. A good start would be to source a batch of shafts and spacers for people to experiment with.

The spinning top is an simpler project, also there is a small hand-held turbine rotor just for fun.

This i were it started, here´s my first go at creating a printable rc car which later resulted in the OpenRC Truggy car.

I learned alot from this car and so it´s a little bit different. It´s has belt drive and is built on a aluminum plate so it´s not as "printable" as it´s successor (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:42198).

If you like build one of your own, the belts are from an Xray car (don´t remember the model) and bought at Amainhobbies.com, driveshafts are from Conrad.com.

If somebody would like to build one let me know and i will post some more info!

Here´s a short testdrive video: youtu.be/HpFrq0iMeAE

I´m doing some printer upgrades and needed an extra Nema 17 motor to try out some new designs... So i printed one! ;-)

This motor is extracted from Makerbots The Replicator Assembly and not modeled by me.

A small and handy safe box with a built in combination lock. The whole box prints preassembled (inspired by emmett) including hinges, the only thing to add are the combination lock dials and rods which easily slide into position.

Two hexadecimal dials ensure a completely safe solution with 256 different possible keys (that is about as safe as WEP). Choose your own favourite key!

Introducing the Rubik's Companion Cube. More entertaining than a regular companion cube and less dangerous to have around than Wheatley. If solving the cube frustrates you too much you can always humanely euthanize it by dropping it into a giant incinerator.

This is just a merge of Poh's companion cube and chapulina's Rubik’s cube. Thanks to both for your great designs.

This is a 3D model of a squirrel that I found on Aim@Shape [1]. It was uploaded by MPII and is actually under the MPII Institute License, which you can view by clicking on the download link on the things page at Aim@shape.

I flattened the base and cleaned up some artifacts on the tail that I'm guessing were the result of scanning.

This is the most work I've ever done on a model (I used Netfabb and Blender to clean it), so I learned a lot, and he came out very cute. My print came before I caught an error in the model, which caused the bandana looking line. It slices correctly now.

A 3D printer filament spool to help when modeling spool holders and wind-up tools.

About 64mm ID.

Made on TOM MK7 with PLA.

Ready for final filing...but yes, they all turn!

Video of it working without filing...only trimming of all support material.

Formerly a member of the trans-universal mercenary company, Baker's Dozen, Emer soon after became the star of the hit Teledrome-produced reality series, "Pig Tracker." Emer's whereabouts have been unknown since the Teledrome's destruction at the hands of the Lost Agency, though some believe him to be the true identity of the "Desert Phantom," a mysterious gas-masked survivor who haunts the poisoned wastes of Eden 2.

Emer is 54mm scale and is on a 40mm base. He's an RPG character played and created by Thingiverse user Jeremy8077 thingiverse.com/Jeremy8077/designs and was modeled and printed by myself.

Showin' love for the T-O-M.

Based on ivc's _Spring-loaded Replicator 1 Drive Block_, and coming full circle (more like ellipse) back to the Thing-O-Matic, this is a drive block that uses the Replicator 2 vitamin kit store.makerbot.com/drive-block-hardware-kit.html on the Mk 7 extruder.

**Changes**
* Removed 12mm from bottom to accomodate Mk 7 mounting block
* Changed the lever and base screw hole to accept _Replicator 2_ vitamins
* Changed bearing spindle to work with _Replicator 2_ vitamins
* Mirrored all parts

Customizable rounded square trays, supports multiple cells.

Some example output stl files are included.

For round trays, see thingiverse.com/thing:40591

If you want to specify the outer bounds instead of the cell size (you want to use this as an insert), check out codeowl's version - thingiverse.com/thing:54599

Rounded containers with a lid. Use the customizer to create a the lid and base objects. Sample 36mm containers generated with a 0.3mm gap are attached.

OpenSCAD file for making round trays. I created this to make small trays for screws and other small parts, but the parameters can be changed to make other similar objects (bowl, cups, etc). A few example stl files are included.

For square trays, see thingiverse.com/thing:43406

For round trays with lids, see thingiverse.com/thing:44535
The lids are compatible with these trays as long as the sidewall and diameter match.

Citrus reamer for juicing oranges, lemons, limes, etc. Two versions are included, a solid version and a hollow one with internal ribs.

To make calibration easy, use this large easy to print piece. 110mm for x and y, 4mm height. All squares are 10mm x 10mm.

The difference to smaller calibration pieces is that you can find really tiny errors with this. I found a 2% error in my print, 3 mm at this size. A standard 20mm calibration cube would have given you a .4mm difference. Still measurable but a lot more difficult.
