Replacement for the standard valve cap on a bicycle, bike or car.

There are 2 stl files:
- Presta/French valve (standard bicycle valve)
- Schrader valve (motor vehicle type valve)

This may be a derivative of Jetguys thingiverse.com/thing:6184, not sure, but it was definitely inspired by it.
I don't really like bushings so I will slowly be moving to bearings where ever I can. I liked Jetguys idea and it makes good mechanical sense. But one I didn't really want to modify my ToM permanently with the tubes and I would have to pull it apart more to do that. Two I wanted to get bearings on the Z axis. My first thought was to use a linear bearing and it still may go that way. But this seems to be working from my preliminary tests. I haven't done any hi speed tests or anything of the sort. Just a basic cube.
This may be a WIP not sure :) we'll have to see how this one works out and see if there are any improvements. If any one else builds this I would really like to know your results. This was designed for the HBP it won't fit with the ABP.

Customized version of thingiverse.com/thing:74322

Created with Customizer! thingiverse.com/apps/customizer/run?thing_id=74322

Completely customizable collar stays!!
No more using and losing flimsy generic stays.

Monogram with your initials, name, or image/logo.
Show off your tech/geek cred while remaining stylish!

I initially set out to learn Openscad and recreate my collar stays originally designed in Tinkercad (now defunct). Soon I realized how easy it was to use Openscad and it all spiraled out of control.

Pretty much every part of this design is customizable. You can add relief or embossed text or images. Adjust the sizing to get the perfect fit for your shirts.

Seriously, get rid of your old collar stays and start using your own personalized ones.

They can also be adjusted to become tags, bookmarks, herb/plant markers, and more.

HenrySeg builds incredible 3d objects. I found this creation on youtube and he was kind enough to upload it to thingiverse.

However it was not designed to be printed at home. The files were also not to scale. So I scaled the pieces, broke them down into 3 files: box, box lid, and screw so that it could be printed on a home printer.

This was printed at .3 layer height, 100% fill, at 100m/s with full supports.

box top was printed without supports.

One of the fascinating things with 3D printers is the ability to print mechanical objects. To catch some mice, I’ve designed a mouse friendly mousetrap. The trap is fully printable and you don’t need any screws or other hardware. Everything is press fit or screwable. Just add some peanut butter bread or other bait and you’re good to go!

One thing I hated from existing mousetrap designs is the inability to easily add bait to the trap. So I made an easy sliding lock door with a hook for the bate.

It took my quite some time designing this thing. So if you print one yourself, please share a pic. I always like to see things I designed used by others and it encourages me to share more 3D designs.

Printed with 0,25mm layer height on a Felix 1.5 3D printer with 0,15 infill. Used 140 gram PLA.

I liked both Emmett's gear bearing and tjhowe's parametric airless tire. The next step was to put the bearing in the tire!

The stl uploaded is the original diameter gear bearing with 20mm of airless tire around it. I have shrunk the thickness to 12mm and beefed up the spokes of the tire to 0.8mm so should print as two filament thicknesses.

The OpenSCAD file is just both files from the orignal creators in the same document with a couple of minor edits make it hang together.

We're on a bit of a Hellboy kick here at school right now. So we decided to build Hellboy's RHoD. It's 2 pieces that print very easily with no support needed. As is, it's 6 inches tall.

**Oops, brain fart - as is it's HUGE. I scaled down to 25% and it was 6 inches, scale for your use. **

Props again to Kenzo for the awesome model!

Please do not use to end the world.

I wanted to make an extra large model, and decided to use pins to connect the pieces together instead of using glue.

Total size is about 13" x 9".

I can get about 115mm in the X axis and 120mm in the Z axis with my TOM, and this model was scaled up to the max my machine will support.

I cut the model up with NetFabb, then used Blender3D to create sockets for the pins.

Another bloodsucker!

I felt itchy the entire time modeling this. Its as accurate as I could make it, but some of the cute whiskers on this little flea would just be too hard to print up. So perhaps you could leave the little spiderwebs on the legs or something.

And as a side note I plan to make the rest of the ringmaster accessories soon, just fine tuning what I do have already (top hat and megaphone) and will be adding the whip and hoop later.

I found this video and wanted to make my own. One nut goes on right handed and one goes on left. All overhangs are 50deg so it should print without trouble.

Update:
In case you missed it in the comments, the original screw and video were made by VeryWetPaint (http://www.thingiverse.com/VeryWetPaint).

Some people like the smell of solder but it's usually a good idea to avoid breathing it if you can, this will help you do so.

Input important information that is specific to your machine, specify the speed and resolution you desire, and get back values to enter into Skeinforge(for great looking prints!). Unpolished MK6 reversal calculations are also available, but are still a work in progress.

Inspired by the work of Dave Durant: thingiverse.com/thing:5310

The first sheet is for working with Skeinforge, and the other has general calculations.

I built this furnace so that I could easily cast 3D printed parts into exact cast metal replicas.

With it I have cast high tolerance machine parts that required zero machining directly from 3D prints.

Here is our documentary demonstrating the complete Lost PLA process with this furnace: thingiverse.com/thing:82176

Here is Version 1.0 of the MakerBot Slicing Engine torture test. MakerBot Software Engineers use this design to examine the performance of a bunch of different slicing behaviors. To find out more, read our blog post on Print Quality testing:

Well almost, you still need to locate 4 lenses from some disposable cameras and a light source.

For the light source use an LED or mirror, whatever you have. I used a cheap LED wall light from Wal-Mart.

For the lenses, I went to a local photography shop and they were very kind to give me an entire bag full (Thank you Lens and Shutter! lensandshutter.com/). Since I had so many, I designed it to work with them all. There is a different optical tube that you have to print for the Fujifilm lenses (11.9mm outer diameter) vs. the Kodak lenses (13.2mm outer diameter). It should work with the following as I measured them all and will likely work with others as well:

This is a very simple, but helpful OpenSCAD script that can be used to generate three types of printing plates based on 2D DXF designs.

Essentially, this script extrudes a 2D design (loaded from an external DXF file of your choice) and either adds or subtracts it from a flat plane to give an effect not unlike relief or intaglio work. You can take these plates and use them for embossings, debossings, stenciling and possibly even ink printing!

I created this script to make it easier for undergraduate printmaking students at my university to explore 3D printing in their work, and to gain some experience with digital fabircation.

You can see more plates and prints made using this script at: flickr.com/photos/zenwebb/collections/72157631741058233/

NOTE:
I am not an experienced printmaker, so I may not have gotten all of the terms correct here!

GPX is a post processing utility that converts GCode from 3D slicing software (like Slic3r and KISSlicer) into the x3g files used for standalone 3D printing on Makerbot Cupcake, ThingOMatic, and Replicator 1/2/2X printers. GPX output is compatible with both Makerbot and Sailfish firmware.

###FULL DOCUMENTATION WILL BE UPLOADED SHORTLY

GPX can be configured to perform convenient tasks like pause@zPos scripting, changing filament diameters without re-slicing, ditto printing with different filament diameters and varying the print temperature for wood filament.

GPX is a fast and light weight program written in a structured programming style using ANSI C. GPX is precise and standards compliant in the x3g commands it outputs, and while it performs rigorous syntax and semantic error checking on the GCode input it interprets, GPX is very flexible and forgiving in the actual GCode it will accept.

GPX can be run from the command line, called by shell scripts or run as a post process. It has built-in support for 5D Cupcake, Thing-O-Matic and Replicator 1/2/2X printers. GPX can also load custom machine definitions if required. GPX configuration is very flexible, it can load a default configuration, be directed to load a custom configuration from the command line, or configured using a macro language embedded in the GCode header of the files it converts.

The Actual Tardis has all the signs, handles and a keyhole. "Keith It!" to make it bigger on the inside.

This Dalek model is derived from guydebored's models. I wanted to print a larger sized Dalek on my TOM, so I sliced up the model, but I didn't want to glue the pieces together.

I've always wanted to connect split up parts with a pin connector, so this is the first time I've tried something like that. I used the PLA Cube Gears as a template for creating my pins and sockets.

The added benefit of using the pins is that each section, including the head can spin.

The models, especially the bottom part, aren't perfect, but I've ran them through netfabbcloud, and they slice and print without any issues.

always lose these things.

Parametric modeling tool similar to OpenScad, but running in your browser, using a Coffeescript base & syntax :
this means support for classes, real variables, advanced iteration etc )
and a better code editor! (line numbers, syntax highlighting, search & replace ...)

This model is a drinking cup made out of one long, spiraled up drinking straw. If you suck on the end the fluid will go from the bottom of the glass down and spiral back up again till it comes out of the end.

One excellent (and common) alternate use for Pocket-Tactics figures is as miniatures for RPG encounters. Because of this, I've started designing some modular map tiles fitted to their scale.

Each square is 15mm x 15mm, and represents a standard "increment" of space in your game world (roughly 5 feet or 1.5 meters). This makes them perfect for D&D and similar games systems, and will work great with any 15mm scale miniature ranges. (Khurasan, Splintered Light, etc... look them up, they're fantastic!)

For the full Pocket-Tactics range of models, here's the collected sets, single units and, of course, Pocket-Dungeons (which has some classically RPG-themed models):

They print really easy and with plenty of space on a Replicator platform,so print a ton of these plates and build an epic dungeon! Check back for expansions and different tile types... plenty more to come!
