I designed this to make leveling my HBP a little easier. Once everything is installed the level can be adjusted very easily. The HBP can be installed or removed easily also. I have know idea if this will work on the ABP but should work on the acrylic platform. You have to use a 3 point leveling system though, 2 corner adjusters on the front and a straight one in the middle in the rear. If you put corner ones in the rear they may hit the Z rods, or any extensions such as Jetguys brass tube Z extenders.

I've taken all the calibration prints out there and condensed them into one place. I have here:

.5mm thin wall
20mm box
20mm hollow box
50mm tower
perimeter width/t tester
precision block
overhang test
oozebane test
bridge test

and more to come.

All designs are my original work and not taken from other users. But they are inspired by other users.

The 20mm box, thin wall, and 50mm tower are ideas from Spacexula's great calibration set thingiverse.com/thing:2064, and the other ones are my ideas and not influenced by others. After Spacexula's calibration set, there is quite a derivative tree.

Here are some combos I have found with my MK5 extruder:
(In order of: Layer Height, Width/Thickness, Feedrate, Flowrate PWM)
.36, 1.528, 34.1, 255
.3, 1.789, 42, 255
.2, 2.521, 35, 197 *This is still experimental, most prints I try with it fail :(

This is a design armchair I created with the software solidThinking. This is the first model I designed with it, following a tutorial.

Full writeup on my blog at: eclecti.cc/hardware/physical-keygen-duplicating-house-keys-on-a-3d-printer

It occurred to me recently that I had printed almost nothing actually useful on my RepRap 3D printer, aside from parts to improve on or build more RepRaps. I am rectifying that with this project. The goal here is to generate working house keys by inputing the key code of the lock into a parametric OpenSCAD model. Instead of having to explain to my landlord how I ended up with a wedge of plastic jammed in my front door, I ordered a box of (well) used locks and latches from eBay to experiment on. Luckily, the lot includes both Kwikset KW1 and Schlage SC1 locks, which are the two most commonly found in the US. I created an SC1 model to start with, but I’ll probably make a KW1 soon.

EDIT: I uploaded a KW1 model as well.

Designing the key model was actually pretty straightforward. I measured a key with a ruler and calipers and created an approximate model of it that is reasonably easy to print. I then got pin depth specifications and parametrically differenced them out of the model. To generate new keys, you can just edit the last line of the file and enter in the key code for your key. If the code isn’t written on the key, you can measure the height of each bit and compare to the numbers in the Root Depth column on the aforementioned pin depth site. Perhaps more nefariously, you could implement something like SNEAKEY to generate key codes without physically measuring the key.

This is a Mark 2 of the simple SD Card holder. This version still holds 8 cards but now the slots are a little bigger making it easier to get the cards in and out. Rather than using tight slots to keep the cards from falling out I have added a lid to this version which clips on nice and securely.

Elevates and guides the filament into the extruder using 3 bearings. Helps build quality even with minor filament snags.

I have slightly modified the great design of the Bearing spool holder from chylld thingiverse.com/thing:7001.

I fits reels from watterott.com and reprapsource.com which seems to come from orbi-tech.de.

The bearing holders are designed to fit a 608 bearing and they are placed into the spool centre holes, with lips to stop them from going all the way through.

This is a parametric snap in cover to go in a hole in sheet metal (or whatever)

After printing out new handles for our screen door ( thingiverse.com/thing:9882 ) there were 4 extra holes left over that were intended to be used if the door opened the other way.
Now they are filled in...

nrp wrote a script to generate keys compatible with Kwikset KW1.

But the obsolescent KW1 has been falling out of use in new locks for almost two decades so I adapted the script for the newer 6-pin KW10 locks. (The KW10 doesn't add any other sophistication--just one extra pin.)

First version of my optional clamp on nozzle cooling thing for printing small parts. This version is more effective if your fan is not so strong. It only aims a fan to the nozzle.

This is my redesign of the famous whistle. I made the pea more round and the body a bit thinner. I also put the pea where it is easier to break off. It now makes the staccato whistle sound.

This might not be all that interesting for people living anywhere else than in Norway but I add it all the same. Its a handle for the external valves we have here in Norway for our garden hoses. This one is designed for a 8x8mm center and I do believe there are other sizes.

YAPML yet another poor man's library that makes things finding it hard to render and taking its time to compile.

In this case the self-replicating polyhedron is intended to give a mechanical touch to your freshly (or not) designed cylindrical surfaces. Hmmmm... you can also thing that those things all-around the cylinder are diamonds and use it for jewelry.

I got some sheets of sandpaper 230mmx280mm (a little wider and shorter than A4) and wanted a handy holder to turn strips of it into sanding blocks to make jobs easier. This is what I came up with.

It is designed to grip sheets of sandpaper cut to 40mm wide by just over 200mm long, but with the files included it should be easy to re-design to your needs.

A battery holder that fits one AA battery, uses stripped wire as terminals. Use it in series, parallel or how you want.

The "CS" version is with two countersunk M3 mounting holes.

Either a prototype for the MakerBot Aeronautics and Space Administration or the next phase of the robot uprising - robots making rockets! The end is nigh. Actually, it's just the printable rocket embossed with some MakerBot text and logos.

Feel free to use the OpenSCAD script to make your own rocket with your own name on it!

This is a simple SD Card holder that holds up to 8 SD cards. The slots are a little tight to stop the cards falling out if you knock over the holder. Very simple design and prints well without a raft on my heated build platform.

I tried using a bit of FeastWatson Prooftint oak wood stain on it and the effect is quite good. I didn’t expect the stain to go very well on the ABS but it comes out really nice

This was designed for the MK5, but should work with other extrusion heads as far as I know.

I also included "split" stl files that should fit on the Cupcake/TOM for printing however I printed it in one piece on my Dimension.

If you need even more sunshine print two of these! One for the front and one for the back!
