<br />
(Extruder, Gears & Clamps Sold Separately. ;) )<br />
<br />
Full Tray Fits on a 7" x 6" Build Platform!  <br />
<br />
2 Smaller trays:<br />
   Tray 1of2: 4.7" x 4.5"<br />
   Tray 2of2: 4" x 4"<br />
<br />
I had some trouble squeezing down tray 1 any smaller... Anyone with smaller then a 5" build platform will need to build Tray #1 on their own...<br />
<br />
(Tray a #1 contains: 2 Base's, Bearing Guide & X Motor Mount)<br />

            <title>Test Jig from Clockathon #2</title>
            <link>http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17144</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17144"><img src="http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/82/d2/3f/b2/2a/WholeClock-NoDrum_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/></div><div>This is a cleaned up version of the printed clock we were able to make during Clockathon #2 last weekend. Thank you Makerbot and Bre for setting that up and hosting it, and thank you Ben for all the help, the awesome test print all set up, and the brilliant idea to back off one gear for the power drum.<br />
<br />
It was ticking, powered by a weight that would only drop about 9" per twelve hour period, and included printed concentric shafts to support minute and hour hands on the face of the clock.<br />
<br />
Here's some video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH4Tg2tIgfg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">youtube.com/watch?v=AH4Tg2tIgfg</a><br />
I had to inflict grievous harm to the code base at the time and have cleaned everything up since. See details below.

            <title>Occlupanidae</title>
            <link>http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17038</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17038"><img src="http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/b1/8c/59/b1/75/DSCF4438_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/></div><div>I started out simply wanting to print a giant bread tag for a friend.  Little did I know that an entire taxonomy exists for the parasitoids known as Occlupanid (Occlu = to close, pan = bread).<br />
<br />
The most thorough research into these organisms has been conducted by the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group - <a href="http://www.horg.com/horg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">horg.com/horg</a>.  Their work was even used in the report "Plastic bag clip discovered in partial colectomy accompanying proposal for phylogenic plastic bag clip classification" published in the BMJ Case Reports journal: <a href="http://casereports.bmj.com/content/2011/bcr.02.2011.3869.abstract" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">casereports.bmj.com/content/2011/bcr.02.2011.3869.abstract</a>.<br />
<br />
While the SCAD file is parametric so far I have only designed (bred?) one example of the Toxodenta (curved teeth) order, based on an example I found in the wild which appears to conform to the classification of <i>Palpatophora utiliformis</i> - <a href="http://www.horg.com/horg/Palpatophora_utiliformis.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">horg.com/horg/Palpatophora_utiliformis.htm</a>.<br />
<br />
I intend to extend the SCAD file to include examples of species from each order.  I also encourage people to create their own variations and mutations.  Let's see if we can get these creatures to evolve into something new! ;-)

Thus the name.<br />
<br />
This panflute is slightly more practical than the one it's derived from.  The curved shape is easier to use than the circle, and I added a bit of taper to the mouthpiece to make it easier to blow on a single whistle.  Still not a practical musical instrument, though!<br />
<br />
This one has a diatonic scale (CDEFGABC) instead of chromatic like the other one.  I had to learn the OpenSCAD lookup() function for that!<br />

I have incorporated a filament guide on the idler (and coined the term guidler).<br />
I also took his modification so the front bearing doesnt rub and I have included a printed spacer so the bottom bearing doesnt rub either (just insert it before the bearing).<br />
I also widened the opening a bit for better access to the hobbing (another of Tom's ideas).<br />
I also included one of Triffid Hunter's suggestions to modify the hinge support piece slightly to make it easier to remove.<br />
<br />
Thanks Tom and Triffid for the ideas.

It is expandable to larger widths and heights easier than any other reprap out there. Period.  Its the most inexpensive bot out there being mass produced.  And, its now yours to print, build, improve, change.... whatever you like.  I can't wait to see what you do with it.

The result, after a number of design iterations, is this bottle which now inhabits our bathroom.  <br />
<br />
This dispenser is designed to reduce waste in a number of ways.  First, it is easily refillable, and so can be used for many years.  Second, as the pump is turned, liquid soap spills from the spout back into a hole in the bottle, thus recycling any drips.  Third, this design makes it easy to get as much or as little soap as you want, while commercial soap pumps often dispense more soap than necessary with a single squeeze.

I liked the polargraph rotating axial mount, but since I do not have the suitable bearings, I printed sliding rings from pla. The fit is quite close, and with some Teflon spray they appear to work great!<br />
This has still to be mounted and tested. Notice the tidy desk ;-)<br />

            <title>Parametric pulley - lots of tooth profiles</title>
            <link>http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16627</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16627"><img src="http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/f8/84/5c/2d/d2/Pulleys_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/></div><div>This thing will create a range of metric and imperial tooth profile pulleys, with any number of teeth, specified in the Openscad file.<br />
Tooth profiles currently supported are MXL, 40DP, XL, H, T2.5, T5, T10, AT5, HTD (3mm, 5mm, 8mm) and GT2 (2mm, 3mm 5mm).<br />
There are a range of editable parameters for editing the fit of the tooth (to account for printer variation), the pulley base, captive nut(s) slot for the set screw, motor shaft diameter, pulley height and belt retainers.<br />
The attached stls are reference pulleys, mostly around the size used on repraps.<br />
<br />
Details<br />
After creating the parametric pulley <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11256" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">thingiverse.com/thing:11256</a> I realised this way of modelling them was only going to work for square-toothed pulleys, and a way of producing pulleys for belts with better characteristics for linear motion was required. I found dxf drawings of the relevant tooth profiles here <a href="http://oem.cadregister.com/asp/PPOW_Entry.asp?company=915217&elementID=07807803/METRIC/URETH/WV0025/F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">oem.cadregister.com/asp/PPOW_Entry.asp?company=915217&elementID=07807803/METRIC/URETH/WV0025/F</a> and modelled pulley diameter from data here <a href="http://www.sdp-si.com/D265/HTML/D265T016.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sdp-si.com/D265/HTML/D265T016.html</a><br />
There were a couple of possible approaches to importing the data, I chose to simplify the bezier curve dxf data in Inkscape, producing vertices with a resolution of around 0.05-0.1mm for each tooth. Another advantage is the the pulleys have the tooth ramp for smooth entry and exit of the belt tooth into the pulley. I'm not really sure 3D printers can take full advantage of this yet, but quality is improving all the time!<br />
If other tooth profiles are required, or you model any, please pass them on to me and I will include them.<br />
Not printed yet... I'm away for the weekend! I'll upload some photos when I do, on Monday.

i am currently preparing to test this, but wanted to get it out there. current issues are that is does not have good access to the drive mechanism for cleaning or feeding filament and that much of it was designed to be machined instead of printed. the side plates are to big for a cupcake, but i ws able to print a few of the pieces on one. it may also not be compatible with other motors until there is a redesign, as the motors are integral to its strength.<br />
if anyone has improvements, let me know.<br />
EDIT: added an IGES assembly file(let me know when you find its broken, and how to fix it) and SW2005 part and assembly files. also added an exploded image<br />
EDIT: lookes like this has been worked on a bit already by wildseyed <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10783" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">thingiverse.com/thing:10783</a> . not sure if i should list it as derivative.<br />
Finally got more than 1 hot end functional at a time, so to check out the filament drive in action see <a href="http://youtu.be/CVaYHlLkvWM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">youtu.be/CVaYHlLkvWM</a><br />

Use:<br />
Sight down the blades.<br />
Align the blades with where the wire should be stripped. <br />
Move the wire into the blades having the blades cut into the insulation. <br />
When the blades cut through the insulation and contact the wire the LED will light.<br />
Spin the wire or the tool to cut the insulation completely around the wire.<br />
Remove the wire from the tool and pull off the insulation.

            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16326"><img src="http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/81/7a/9e/d5/11/P1214378_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/></div><div>This is an experiment with different ways to connect multiple pieces of a model together. The model is a hollow sphere which has been split about 3/4 of the way along one axis. I then added different structures to reconnect the two pieces together. I put the male component on the larger piece of the sphere because that seemed more mechanically challenging.<br />
<br />
One model uses a simple peg-in-socket design. Nothing but friction holds the two pieces together, and I found that a difference of 0.5mm to 1.0mm in the diameters of the pegs and sockets gave good results with the vagaries of my printer.<br />
<br />
The other model uses a more sophisticated clip design with a half-sphere on one side, which mates to a similar socket on the cap. Here I found that a 3mm thick clip gives a good compromise between strength and flexibility.
