These are spring feet that fit on the bottom of a RepRap machine to damp the transmission of vibrations from the machine to whatever surface it is resting on.

If that surface is resonant, a RepRap machine without these feet can make quite a bit of noise. These reduce that noise significantly.

I 3d-ified the design by stickoutrock and made it so the crosslinks snap into place.

Ok, this is a tough one.

This treasure chest is printed in one piece!
You definitely should be good friends with your MakerBot when printing this. ABS warping is a big problem. The few lucky ones with PLA on their desk definitely have the advantage here...

Anyway, you might give it a shot.

As usual with my quirky objects, Skeinforge is moaning and groaning when processing it. But if you configure "Carve" to use "unproven meshes" and ignore all warnings, you should get a printable gcode file :)

The attached gcode is the one I used for printing the treasure chest on the photo. It's suitable for MakerBots with a .5mm nozzle.

There's also a short video on this on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=wtoLPj_YOkA

In honor of the end of David Tennant's Doctor, I decided to model a small version of the Tardis. The Original model was much bigger, but in order to save space and plastic I scaled it down, so some of the detail has been lost. It is very rough right now, so I'd love it if anyone wants to enhance it let me know, or link to this so I can see your version! I used Autodesk inventor to do the modelling.

UPDATE: I added tardis_scaled.stl which is a little larger, giving it some better definition and I also hollowed it out so the print didnt use so much plastic.

UPDATE: Makerbot now sells blue plastic, if anyone prints this in blue, please post!

This is the Darth Vader head that everyone wants. It's modelled after the darth vader lego head piece.

Our idler wheel kept cracking so we made one out of aluminum. Works great!

A python script to generate OpenSCAD models to generate two parts of a box that screw together and snap fit if you find your way through the maze :)

A plastic paperclip, simple and clean. You can also substract or add a word (like a short name) or logo at the middle part for a more personal clip.

No Universe can go without the King of Polygon! Phooky beat me by uploading a printable Utah but useless for teadrinking. Took me a few hours of modeling to get a teaproof Utah, proper solid model, no holes, manifold. Wall thickness is ±3 mm and I added a rim for the lid to rest on. The model is based on the 3ds primitive since I was never able to import the original data (thanks Phooky for explaining). So fire up your machine and print an analog Utah!

This is an STL file decribing a Utah Teapot, based on data created by Martin Newell.

This is a pretty poor model for printing; it's been refined by Unfold since:
thingiverse.com/thing:918

Ornamental cloud, can be used for example as as a brooch.

I said I would make this a long time ago...

Pretty self explanatory.... it's a bracelet with braille on it (the braille reads "makerbot")

I used 1/4" felt to make it nice and comfy and add some visual flare

This design can be adapted in so many ways (doesn't just have to be braille) and it's really easy to design/print/put-together.

EXTRA BONUS POINTS for whoever adapts this design for the makerbot watch :)

I designed this a few weeks ago, but I wasn't able to print it successfully because of massive warping of the printed ABS.
Since I've recently pimped up my MakerBot with a heated build platform, warping of ABS isn't an issue anymore!
That said, be sure to print this either with a very strong raft, with PLA or with a heated build surface...

You'll need a standard iPod/iPhone 30-pin-connector/USB cable for this.

This is the next step in my attempt to make a Sarrus linkage based 3D printer. The idea is to have a cartesian mechanism without those long rods and bearings.

I built three of the Mark III and mounted them in a x-y arrangement as shown. They can move over a square about 105 mm wide, and someday may carry an extruder. They are driven by DC motors taken from inkjet printers. These motors are driven in a servo arrangement using quadrature optical encoders and optical strips removed from the same printers.

A VW Bus that I printed for my company's annual pinewood derby fundraiser.

'The Bus' is sized to fit over the block of wood that comes in the pinewood derby kit. It also uses the wheels provided in the kit.

You can also print out you own wheels and use a block of scrap wood to complete 'The Bus'.

Howdy. I know you all yearn to wear something sweet, metal, and culled from the oceanic depths of the oilpunk masterpiece Bioshock. This is your brass opportunity as I've converted its officially kickass logo into a 3d file for which to use, abuse, and hold up pants. It's a belt buckle. The versions I've done are in bronze from a cnc cut wax model (carved with a 1/8in 15deg inc taper profile tool) and a Zcorp 3dprint. It's pretty fine on the detail end of things so you might want to scale up if you're gonna go for a FDM.

I also have to thank the lovely and talented Meredeth Wrinkle of TechShop fame for photographing the Zcorp version of this project and being an essential supporter. I couldn't be holding this lovely little trinket without her constant support.

These parts are a pan tilt mount for two 'mini' servos

flickr.com/photos/zignig/3681821576/in/pool-makerbot/

It printed first time and the servo's were a tight fit.


I used the 20 mm circular horn and made the screw holes with a hot pin. Then mounted with superglue

I will be making a webcam , torch , laser and blank mount so you can mount your widget on a turret.

I am currently redesigning it with a normal size servo on the pan , enjoy

:)

Print out this handle, slide in two popsicle sticks and tweeze away. Perfect for tweezing the test extrusion plastic off your makerbot.

Features two sides for different springiness settings. The "0" side has parallel slots, the "2" side has a 2 degree angle outward for wider opening tweezers.

On the uploaded gcode file it'll take 33 minutes to print.

Standing on the amazing work of thingiverse.com/jrombousky and thingiverse.com/rmadams, I wanted a version of the male buckle that has the adjustable strap mechanism and a middle prong to make clipping this together even easier.

Note that you will need one of jrombousky's original female buckle sleeves to clip into found here: thingiverse.com/thing:1272

I included all the revisions I made to this point, including notes about the problems of each. Only rev5 is worth printing, but they are there if you want to hack them. We need to take the adjustable strap end of this file and slap it on the female sleeve for sew-free buckling.

So after making the fully printable hinge, I was able to move along with making a hand. Its got all of the degrees of freedom as a human hand. Its a bit bigger then a normal human hand, therefore its evil.

All parts total was about 10 hours of printing.

This is a model christmas tree printable on the makerbot with a slot to insert a coin battery and an LED to illuminate the piece from inside! Merry Christmas and Happy Printing!

Update: corrected a bug in the model that made it print without the base!
Also, this updated version is smaller then the previous one avoiding some problems while printing the top

Voltage regulated tea :)

I couldn't get the typical tea infuser holes to print nicely (too small), so I used a different approach: a large hole on the back covered by a grid that lets the water in and out while keeping the tea leaves inside.

This is a fork from thingiverse.com/thing:964 lasered on 3mm AlMg3.

It uses a 606ZZ bearing to use a 5mm bolt shaft for the idler wheel and has custom mounting holes.

Needs a Kysan 1156006 Gearmotor and a fitting pulley.

Reproduced from a wooden burr puzzle given to me as a gift. The two-part pieces are my own design that snap together when assembled as part of the puzzle.

Simple Christmas Angel. My Mum used to paint wooden ones, so I've done my artistic take on the Christmas Angel. There is a loop on the back of the head so you can either stand it up, or dangle it from a divine thread.

Here's my attempt at a Christmas Ornament in the shape of a Makerbot. This was pretty fun to make, but came out smaller than I thought due to a conversion issue in Rhino. Good thing I'm not plotting a course to Mars...

The large version is just under 3cm wide. The small one is scaled by 75%.

This ornament obeys the three laws of robotics.

Univers Revolved is an art project from Ji Lee, pleaseenjoy.com . It takes the roman alphabet and remakes it into a set of 3D, solid objects with axial symmetry.

Words can then become objects, letters stacked, attached, etc... Check out the possibilities at the universrevolved.com website.

When I saw this online a week ago, I knew I had to get it onto Thingiverse, so I reached out to Ji Lee, who was kind enough to grant permission, and express some interest in what we do here. We're hoping to print out a few of these and go see him with a MakerBot soon.

With permission from the artist... Thanks, Ji Lee!

This is my version of z-stage crank.
Felt natural to design this when I got my bot up and running but if someone feels lazy, here you go.

Inspiration from "Oval Gears" by Billion.
Wanted to expand model to 4 gears and discovered that the linkage had to flex - square to parallelogram during rotation.
All elliptical gears here are identical and work due to odd number of teeth.

Playing with openSCAD, I made a parameterized Turner's Cube.

Unfortunately, openSCAD doesn't support recursion or variable re-assignment, so it's more manually than parameterized, but it's still reasonable.

It can create lathe ones and 3d printer ones, the difference is in how the corner insides are treated.
