Based on an idea I got from MakerBlock, I decided to create a Dalek from the 2005 series. I've used drawings from various groups to create it, so it should be to scale. However, I haven't quite worked out how to attach the eye, plunger, and gun yet, so that will hopefully be in a posted update soon. I could use any suggestions on attaching them!

This is a business card that shoots US pennies. It has a little magazine that pops up and allows you to load up to 10 pennies. Then you can just pull back the slide and release to shoot a penny, and repeat until all the pennies are gone.

I've always been a last minute Christmas shopper and it has usually worked out. This year I had a request to get a Connect Four game, but I couldn't find it in stock anywhere. So I decided to make my own version of it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connect_four

After working like one of Santa's Elfs for a few hours (minus the green tights) I had beautiful Connect Four style game.

Inspired by some laser cut projects on Thingverse I made this crossbow for my son. It uses a rubber band and has the gun lock built into the handle. It will shoot a sucker dart across the kitchen and stick it to the microwave with a satisfying smack. ]]> Stefan Fri, 08 Jan 2010 02:08:12 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1544 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1535
This is my face. We used the 3d scanner described here: thingiverse.com/thing:1491 and here: abarry.org/stereo to scan and then print the face.

Update -- just printed a new version upside down for much better print resolution! ]]> SingularityU Thu, 07 Jan 2010 03:36:18 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1535 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1254
MakerBot WatchThis kit is hard to make! It's SMD soldering and it's freaking hardcore. We're selling them at just a little bit more than cost because this is for alpha users!

We're going to go into production on these and they will come mostly assembled. We are just selling these as alpha kits.

There is no guarantee or warranty at all. Bre has made four of them and three of them required a lot of fussing with the soldering until he got rid of all the solder bridges.

Specs:

* Atmega328 chip with Arduino bootloader on it.
* 6 pin header for bootloading. Also includes access to 4 I/O pins and power and ground
* 6 pin header for programming.
* 4 pin extension header for plugging in other things like sensors or shields that extend the watch.
* 16mhz crystal.
* Piezo buzzer
* 3 pushbutton switches

It has 12 LEDs to mark the hour and 12 LEDs to mark the 5 minute marks plus an extra 4 LEDs to mark the 4 extra minutes that aren't shown. So if it was 12:04 the hour LED in the 12 position would be lit up and the Minute LED in the 12 position would be lit up and the 4 extra minutes would be lit up to show that it's 12:04.

Besides having it work on a watch, there are a number of other possibilities because it's an arduino environment on your wrist!

You will need a TTL Cable and USBTiny programmer to program this kit. (Available here in the MakerBot store.

Documentation is available in the wiki at wiki.makerbot.com/makerbot-watch

We ordered a bunch of prototype boards and I've made them into 18 kits and put made them really cheap to just get them out there in the world and get friends playing with them. This is for alpha users because it is realllllly hard! I have soldered up 4 of them and 3 of them had major solder bridges that made me swear a lot. Be prepared for a serious smd challenge!

Here's the google group for it: groups.google.com/group/makerbotwatch If you get one, you really really really need to join!

Nope, not Dash Rendar, Ponda Baba, or even the young Lando Calrissian. It's your favorite smuggler Han Solo lovingly packed in carbonite for convenient shipping and storage. Enjoy Han Solo by yourself or with friends. Han makes a lovely conversation piece and will be certain to make you the center of every party.

servo suspension systemSSS (servo suspension system) is designed to support standard servo motors and act as a basic suspension. It is still a work in progress and has not been tested yet.

Will update results soon. ]]> guibot Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:42:00 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1207 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:648

This has been a relatively useful project for me. This wire rack holds two rows of up to 7" wire spools or 12" spools if you decide to cut out an additional base piece. It's primarily constructed from 1/4" ABS sheet with 1/2" electrical conduit to hold the spools. ABS sheet generally comes with one textured side (which you might be able to see in the photos) and one flat side, and it's pretty resilient stuff. You should also be able to stack these racks and bolt them together, but I haven't built a second one yet to see how well this works. ]]> builttospec Sat, 18 Jul 2009 22:34:32 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:806 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:791
This is a toothpick for a standard size swiss army knife.
I'm not able to print it, so I'm not sure if the curve on the top part matches the curve of the knife casing. If you make one I would be grateful if you post a close up picture of the toothpick in the knife.

It is 5 cm long.

The gcode was generated using the ReplicatorG skeinforge default settings.

Changed name so it would be accurate after being truncated. ]]> NickAmes Sun, 12 Jul 2009 23:48:56 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:791 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:288
RR Controller Mod v2.0I've modded a Rock Revolution drum controller to work with an MSA-P MIDI decoder from highly_liquid so I can play on a real electronic drum set, in my case a Roland TD-3SW . Additionally, I've come up with a way to trigger the cymbal sounds (hi-hat, crash and splash) in Rock Band 2 during freestyle, fills, and big rock endings.

With this mod you will be able to play all four games Rock Band (RB1), Rock Band 2 (RB2), Guitar Hero World Tour (GHWT) and Rock Revolution (RR) on a real electronic drum kit such as a Roland TD-3 with full song charts:

* 4 lanes plus bass pedal in RB1
* 4 lanes plus bass pedal with cymbal sounds during fills in RB2
* 5 lanes plus bass pedal in GHWT
* All 7 lanes (6 pads plus bass pedal) in RR

First of all, why Rock Revolution?

I may be one of only a handful of people on the planet that actually think Rock Revolution is a fun game. From a drummers standpoint, the ability to have 6 different pads plus a pedal on the song charts sounded like a lot of fun, and it definitely is. Additionally, I wanted to use just one modified controller that gave full chart mappings in each game. The Rock Revolution drum controller easily achieve's this goal. It is compatible with all the games that have released at this point, and gives full song charts with each game.

Hasn't the MSA-P mod been done before?

Yes it has. I do not take credit for coming up with the idea to use an MSA-P. To the best of my knowledge, this was the brainchild of a couple guys on the rockband.com forums. In fact, I originally followed their instructions from a rockband.com forum post to mod my RB1 controller.

My mod for the RR controller is very similar to the MSA-P mod for the RB1 controller. All that I really had to do was locate the correct solder points for each drum pad on the Rock Revolution drum controller's circuit board, and I was in business. I also took this one step further and developed a completely new circuit that when wired to the MSA-P, enables the cymbal sounds in Rock Band 2.

Doesn't RB2 already have cymbal sounds?

Yes and No. With the original RB1 modded controller, it was possible to map more than one pad on the real electronic drum set to the same color. For example, I had blue assigned to both the second rack tom, and also to a cymbal. Same went for yellow and green also. This allowed for more realistic drumming because you could now play the cymbal parts on the cymbal pads and the tom parts on the toms. However, in the drum fills and big rock endings, all you got were tom sounds no matter what pad you hit. Hitting a cymbal and hearing a tom sound can really break the sense of realism. ]]> k1ds3ns4t10n Sun, 11 Jan 2009 20:08:41 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:288 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:264

Acrylic laptop stand w/gearsThe other day while hacking at NYC Resistor, I realized I was getting a crick in my neck sitting hunched over at my laptop. I needed some sort of laptop stand to get the screen up higher, and one that I could get my external keyboard under so my computer wasn't too far away. I'd never seen exactly what I was looking for, so I figured I'd whip one up!

A little while later, with some help from Inkscape and our Lazzzor, I had this laptop stand.

Because the stand is made from 3 flat pieces which you can take apart, it's extremely portable and light. ]]> ericskiff Fri, 07 Nov 2008 17:59:48 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:32
