            <title>Cooling Fan</title>
            <link>http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1438</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1438"><img src="http://thingiverse_beta.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/a7/fe/0b/c5/11/4187419313_c8785f1f6c_o_preview_large.jpg" alt="dc cooling fan" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/>dc cooling fan</div><div>The base fits a DC motor with 20mm in diameter but its dimensions can be adjusted on the openscad script.<br />
<br />
This is a work in progress. The plastic is so lightweight that it doesn't counteract the pull of the motor and I'm hoping it'll eventually work as a mini propeller (test video: <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/8199151" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">vimeo.com/8199151</a>). But for now it really is just a cooling/exhaust fan which can be held still by either bolting it down or using the 9V battery version - the weight of the battery is enough to keep it from moving, specially if placed on a rubbery surface.

<br />
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.

Since we had brought along altLab's MakerBot, I was able to model and print him one on the spot.

<br />
The trinket is my way of wishing makerbot happy holidays and it was printed before our extruder ran into some trouble a few days ago. I've also modeled icons for other projects I got to know and love (miniature reprap mendel, thingiverse's gear logo, openMaterials logo), and I'm just waiting to be able to print them before uploading those files.<br />

            <title>OpenSCAD Helical Gears</title>
            <link>http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1339</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1339"><img src="http://thingiverse_beta.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/78/2e/ea/a0/4e/4130791241_3a1132b5aa_o_preview_large.jpg" alt="parametric helical gears" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/>parametric helical gears</div><div>This is the second half of my <a href="http://openscad.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">openscad.org</a> gear sets.<br />
<br />
I couldn't get the top and bottom parts of the double helical to union properly, so I ended up offsetting the bottom piece by 0.1mm :( It skeins and prints fine though.<br />
<br />
This thing is part of a set:<br />
- spur gears: <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1336" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">thingiverse.com/thing:1336</a><br />
<br />
<b>UPDATE</b>: I'm printing some gears and noticed a couple mistakes on the openSCAD script: the variable 'orientation' wasn't doing anything and the value 'extrudeInDiam' was in fact being used as radius. They're both fixed now and I uploaded a new version of the script.

The combinations of parameters are too many to upload an STL for each, so I just picked a few.<br />

I also made a version for helical gears: <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1339" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">thingiverse.com/thing:1339</a>

<br />
The unexpected bonus was a rose shape at the bottom, courtesy of a steep angle :)
