Got idea from others on this site. Modified parts to increase # of gears and added business card side to put info on.

Tried a thinner set - but it was too flexible. Main gear 'may' require some sanding on outside teeth based on fit and material.

This was printed on an Alaris 30 Polyjet printer. I used a drop of oil on the main gear to get it going - then washed it out. Lettering is extruded cut into surface - used model paint to fill in.

We've decided to discontinue several bracelets from our Cell Cycle collection to make way for new designs. This is one of those designs. I've uploaded it in three sizes:

small - inner diameter: 2.3in, inner circumference: 7.2in
medium - inner diameter: 2.5in, inner circumference: 7.85in
large - inner diameter: 2.7in, inner circumference: 8.5in

Inspired by the complex forms of radiolarians, where intricate pattern is integral to structure, these shapes derive from a simulation of spring meshes which form mirrored catenoid surfaces. We created interactive software to morph, twist, and subdivide each design, transforming a simple mesh to a complex patterned structure.

Hello :)

This is my version of the "LYMAN FILAMENT EXTRUDER".

This version has a:
1. Larger Hot end with 350 Watt heater
2. Automatic timing system
3. fan ducting
4. Modified sprokets and hopper
5. Adjustable motor speed on the control panel.

Basics of how it works:
Flip on the main switch. This turns on the cooling fan. Then press the red Momentary pushbutton. This activates a 1 second timer that gets latched on and begins the motor timer set for 20 minutes. The latched 1 second timer powers the relay that powers the PID. I used the 1 second timer because I wanted the control mechanics as I made them. Unnecessarily complex, but it's what I wanted.

If you take a look at the parts I used, you might see a lot of dollar signs. The parts that I used were mostly free. I endup collecting a lot of stuff that gets deemed "broken" or otherwise would have been thrown away.

This fully 3D printable ukulele (save for bolts and strings) uses an acoustic transducer to carry the lower frequency sound created by the strings to a very thin membrane on the bottom of the body. The sound is focused and projected out of channels in the body to (hopefully) create a fuller tone with reasonable amplitude.

I am still working on the design of the head and tuners. Right now, to have a good gear ratio for the prototype, I made the gears almost comically large.

UPDATE!!
I'm refining the design of the geared tuner head but I wanted to test the tonality to see if I was getting somewhere so I quickly designed a test friction head and tuning knobs to try it out.

I have uploaded all the current parts for everyone to TEST this EXPERIMENTAL design! Have fun!

A couple of notes: I am tweaking the body design. The bridge is a little wonky and the transducer pops right off! I have to think that one over a bit. The bottom membrane is only two layers thin. It is tricky to print and even trickier to remove from the platform. BE SUPER-CAREFUL TO NOT TEAR THE MEMBRANE OFF!

The sound the first prototype makes is bright as expected but it is pretty loud. A good sign!

NOTE: This friction head is for testing only, it will no longer hold a tune after a while without shims or other "friction-enhancers." The geared tuner is the solution to this, I'm just working to make it a better, more reliable print.

Stay tuned!

I was searching for information about the Flex feature in SolidWorks, and came across a video with this thing by Brothgar.
He said he made it in his class. Imagine a hexagon glass that gets it's middle twisted. I added the flair at the top using another property of the Flex feature.

This pencil holder is made ​​by using a laser cutting machine at f.Labo in japan.
The material is MDF2.5mm.

I found the roll top box really nice, and started thinking where else a rolling cover would be useful. I designed this enclosure for my Mintyboost. It allows you to swap out the AA batteries by rolling the cover around. Check out version 2 in the remix box for a more refined version that doesn't need a battery holder.

Overall size is 4.15" long x 1.85" wide x 0.83" tall. The cover can continuously slide around the enclosure, it's kind of addicting!

Yet another earbud holder. Not like we have enough of those here on Thingiverse, right? Well, I wanted something a bit different from the designs already available. Specifically I wanted the whole thing to be somewhat enclosed and able to take a beating. I think I've reached those goals.

As a bonus it has a very satisfying clack sound when you close it up ;)

These are parameterized connectors for building small domes for learning. They are based on effalo's V2 dome kit.

I have re-written the scad files so that now it is possible to make small connectors that work with wooden sticks of very small diameter (3mm or less).

I have tested it building 2 domes that I've called as Mini-dome and Micro-dome, with diameters of 50cm and 15cm respectivelly. I have used wooden sticks with section of 3 and 2 mm, that are very cheap and very easy to find.

The connectors are parameterized. The user has to introduce the stick diameter (in mm) and the holedepth. The size of the connector (radius and height) will be automatically calculated.

I needed a mask to be Kato, so I modified the Low Poly one...

Just a nice cover for a lighter.
Used for a present.

This is a laser cut teardrop pendant that I'm in the process of making. I think I'll end up with 3 separate drops as lights hanging in a circle at different heights. I have a forum at sharemake.com/groups/laser-cutters/forum/topic/tear-drop-laser-cut-pendant-light/ on the whole process.

This is just the prototype but if you like it make it. It all works and fits together fine.

Nice Roll Top Box.
When the box is opened, the lid hides in a space between two "walls" at the bottom of the box (see photos).
10 X 5 X 4 cm

Not a very loud one, but a pretty fun project. See it in action here: youtu.be/V6SdR8xWaw4

This is a highly portable and expandable system used to create tracking shots with a video camera. My aim was to create a dolly system that was simple to build with basic tools.

I have designed it around t slot extrusion which allows easy modification to the parts and I hope that other people will design new components for the system.

I will be adding new parts (end stops, adjustable legs, camera brake, etc) very soon. The design of the carriage will also change as I improve the design. Please leave feedback in the comments section below

Its for grinding herbs and plant matter.... such as oregano, basil, tyme, mint ETC.

3D printable kazoo instrument, just add wax paper!

Just print, assemble the parts, add wax paper, and you're ready to hum.

A while back, a friend of mine asked if I could make her a version of a Fox 40 whistle.

Originally, I tried to make one in Google Sketchup but the result was unprintable. Then I made a close replica in OpenSCAD, but that didn't print well and didn't make any sounds.

So, I decided to go after a design that accomplished the same thing (2-tones & pealess) but had a more printable form. It took me 8 iterations, but I finally got it :)

Liked chylld's ducted extruder carriage a lot, but decided I wanted to experiment with more airflow. One Sunon blower (PMB1297PYB1-AY.(2).GN though others may fit) and some measuring and there's this.

This allows you to use a 60mm fan on a Rapman. It requires the other half of zip cooling rapman made by bonleo.

I have a Rapman 3.0 however and had to use bobc derivative instead of bonleo's original version.

It also includes a mounting point for the DC power socket.

What!? No guns? Where's the old ultra violence, you say? I know nothing of knitting. My sister in law asked for a loom that could come apart. I said ok.

She hasn't told me she hates it yet. I believe she wanted it for knitting an "infinity scarf(?)". I have not tried knitting with this.

Video of the Stead i Cam in action: youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PDLClM5rk5o

The Stead i Cam is designed by Frits Stam en Koen de Greef

features of the Stead i Cam:
+ removable / adjustable camera plate
+ design incorporates a feet for easy storage
+ weight swivels to compensate for an unbalanced camera
+ air bubble for leveling the camera
+ adjustable handle position with a screw thread which allows for very fine adjustments of the center of mass
+ light weight design

This project originated from the urge to create tools that help designers create professional results in times of budget cuts. With ‘Tools for Design’ we aim to create a community that helps in the development of instruments used in the design process. The Stead-I-Cam is an example of one of these tools. It supports smooth and professional moving video footage. It is created from a single sheet of laser-cut material, making it easy for any student to create and assemble. This open-source project cuts costs for such a professional tool and makes it accessible for every student / diy'er.

We love to see your own Stead i Cam so upload a picture of it!

A parametric minimal phone cradle that should fit most phones. The default settings used in the .scad and .stl is for Galaxy S2.

Edit: Updated for perfect fitting of S2, at least with my printer setup :)

These are the files for the first prototype of a clay extruding print head for a Bits From Bytes Rapman. Its a slightly improved version of the one we use for printing our initial ceramics objects (http://unfoldfab.blogspot.com). The design is based on the Frostruder by Zach Hoeken from Makerbot but uses one double action solenoid valve instead of two single action ones. It is important to note that it was never designed with elegance or easy printability in mind, its just a quick and dirty prototype.
