This is the real deal, no derivatives here. These are the real Printrbot in it's current version. I have a bunch of these printing all day, every day.... it works. 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. I will post pics of all the various forms it takes, news, etc at printrbot.com
-enjoy

At last, here is the much-requested 100% printable heart gears. No more ugly bolt holes! This was designed along the same lines as the screwless cube gears: thingiverse.com/thing:10483, and in fact uses the exact same center block (though the pins are slightly shorter).

UPDATE: If you lack a 3D printer, you can now buy these from CarryTheWhat at etsy.com/shop/CarryTheWhat.

The size has been increased a bit from the previous version to accommodate the printed pins, so it now measures 100mm across when assembled. Since everything is now printable, it should be easy to scale this design up or down as you see fit. At this size it took me ~6 hours of printing time on my TOM.

Since the thingiverse needs good robots to fight the bad ones, i give you R2! I've modeled the full scale version in inventor and put the files here. I've also made an attempt to make it printable. However, since my printer is currently down for repairs, i'm hoping someone else will give it a shot and let me know how it goes!

Obviously design credit goes to lucas film, but the 2d design files came from the r2 builders group, and the 3d is the result of days and weeks of modeling and guessing. May the force be with you :)

No, not that kind of pot. The kind you grow things IN! This hydroponics pot has a grid at the bottom to hold growing medium (perlite, vermiculite,pummice, clay beads etc.) in. If the plant's roots take control of the pot, these ones are made of Diamond Age Solutions' Ivory PLA so the whole lot can go in the compost bin when the growing season is over!

The makerbot finally printed me some glasses!

I decided to start out with some nice thick frames inspired primarily by Cory Doctorow and Bre Pettis, though I have plans for a lot more styles and shapes.

As for practicality...
I honestly wasn't expecting these to be comfortable but they actually are. They're really light and after a while I forget I'm even wearing them. I can even wear them over my normal glasses.
PLUS major geek bonus points for wearing GLASSES YOU PRINTED YOURSELF.

This thing is based on the Cuboro Marble track, but I didnt have one when I drew the pieces. The track is 22mm diameter and all turns are 22mm radius too.
Feel free to add new parts.

I created these boxes to store the pieces and cards for Vlaada Chvátil's excellent board game called Space Alert.

The boxes are sized for this particular game but I included the parametric openscad files as well so that you can easily mod them for any other purpose.

This is a 3 by 3 array of circle knots. The base unit comes from this website: cs.duke.edu/~edels/Tubes/knots/circ/index.html

Looking for some way to get back at that jerk in the cubicle over? Want to build a legal weapon for self defense?

I introduce to you, the amazing Disk Shooter! With Auto-Reloading capabilities, exchangeable magazines, and a custom machined handle, this weapon of mass destruction will have your coworkers shaking in their shoes!

BUILD YOURS TODAY!

UPDATE 4/16/2011:
Added a new slide, main barrel, and auto-reload base files in a zip.
CHANGES:
-Slide cut down on sides
-Main barrel has catches on the back to prevent slide from coming out the back (Have to load slide through top of barrel, then it won't slide too far forward or backwards)
-Main barrel to Auto-reload base connection changed, now meant to be screwed on, should fit with M3 screws.

-If requested, will upload old version of main barrel with ONLY catches added on, without the screw add-on

It's just a replacement part for my hair clipper. Old comb was lower and in poor condition

I had a lot of trouble printing the original 1x2x3 Rubik's cube from TomZ. ( makerblock.com/2010/07/rubiks-cube-fail/ ) TomZ's version is really great - but I can't manage to print it sufficiently well on my MakerBot. Since his sells on Shapeways, I can only assume my MakerBot is not up to the task of printing these parts.

This version only requires two unique parts, rather than the original design with five unique parts. I've made the grooves in the center pieces larger, which should help the printability of the design.

I have yet to print this, but wanted to upload it in case someone wants to test and provide feedback before this afternoon when I give it a whirl.

It may be possible to alter this design so that it doesn't require a nut/bolt in the middle. This could be done with a little prong that snaps into the opposite side.

For more on this derivative and design, check out the blog post at makerblock.com/2010/07/new-design-rubiks-cube-sorta/

Update: I've uploaded a version with all parts in one sheet - no need to fiddle with the multiple setting.

We all love and hate the Rubik's Cube. What if we could have a Rubik's Cube that we could actually solve? Wouldn't that be awesome? Now you can, with the all new 1x2x3 Rubik's Cube! Not too hard, but still a challenge. Print yours today!

It is designed to be printable on a Makerbot/RepRap 3D printer. Apart from the fillets, there are no overhangs whatsoever.
I've provided an STL with all the parts in it, ready to be loaded into your printer. If your printer ain't that reliable, I've also attached the files separately.
The puzzle's cubelets measure 20mm on an edge, making the puzzle 20x40x60mm.

The puzzle shown in the picture is one of a commercially 3D printed one. Available from $30 at shapeways.com/shops/puzzles.

This OpenScad module allows you to generate models for arbitrary Burr puzzle pieces.

The bit pattern used for configuration is identical with the one on the following site: research.ibm.com/BurrPuzzles/index.html

You can use the Burr calculator on this site to calculate and print your own puzzles.

Additionally, the file contains the burrx() module which allows the corner blocks on the lower level to be set. It basically extends the pattern to 4*L bits.

Feel free to flattr this if you like the infinite possibilities.

This is a 3x3 snake cube puzzle done with a 3d printer. After assembling the snake don't cheat on solving the puzzle. :) well maybe you should, just think of how long you could spend solving it if you had a block in the wrong position. LOL

Hope you have fun with it.

My maternal Grandfather game me a game like this when I was a kid, but the molded plastic has broken numerous times. I have no idea what this game is called.

I made use of tbuser's 8bit font (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2054) for the numbers on the dice. I made no attempt to balance the dice as I do not throw them.

My MakerBot's musical tones often set digital mood for each of my lan parties. It furiously pumps out prototypes of whatever models we throw at it between matches. Then we thought why not bring our game to life?

Nothing good ever comes from caffeine induced delusions during 4:00AM LAN parties. Well that never stopped us before. So this is the first step in creating a fully motorized robot.

I introduce to you, the Exoskeleton Crystal Harvester.

The next iteration will have drive motors and Bluetooth communication.

The original oxystele.stl had spiral holes in it. After running it through cloud.netfabb.com the holes are gone. If you downloaded the file before, please re-download it.

Another one of M. B. Cortie's greatest hits sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/009784939390054D!

Modeled on the shell of the Oxystele sinensis sea snail, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxystele_sinensis, will Coenobita clypeatus - "Purple Pincher" - hermit crabs like this? Only experimentation will tell!

It was created using Maya's shellNode plugin, which is based upon Cortie's model, and thickened using Blender's Solidify modifier blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-256-beta/solidify-modifier/.

The goal is a workflow using open source tools, but this shell surface required a commercial tool. Thanks to a tip from thingiverse.com/mesheldrake, the conversion to a solid is now handled by an open source tool. :)

Cortie's model and many of its resultant shells have been written in Maple maplesoft.com/applications/view.aspx?SID=3851&view=html. Porting them to an open source tool such as Sage or Blender is the last step in creating a complete open source workflow.

Any python ninjas up to the task‽

This spoon was made to fit exactly 7 grams of my favourite coffee brand. The amount i need to get a perfect cup of espresso from my coffee machine.

The Scad model is fully parametrized. You can easily change the volume (in mm3 steps) of the spoon, for example to measure two teaspoons of sugar, or anything else.

I split this into parts to enable printing without support.

[EDIT] for some reason these STL files aren't rendering here but my BFB Axon as well as Solidworks do in fact load them up. I have also started printing some of these parts with no problems.

This is a set of Pyramid Game Pieces that can be used for any Icehouse/Treehouse game.

I made a sweet coat rack to match my other thing, the IKEA Not Lamp Wall Sconce mod:
thingiverse.com/thing:15359

I made it for my Ultimaker. It may not fit your puny machine.

EDIT: Solidworks 2012 source file added.

This thing adapts a standard 12cm PC fan to a standard 4" exhaust / vent duct (available a Lowes or HD). This allows smooth flow of fumes to wherever you like (outside).

Nothing is no longer borderline likable. Just throw the coin like Harvey the two-face does.

Is Two Color Printing on a Makerbot almost here? Since there are currently no two color print heads available yet... I decided to improvise by designing Mix-n-Match 'Snap To' components. The Makerbot Coin being the perfect demo. Go ahead and apply these design principles to whatever else you can think of...

I made this to keep my cat occupied. I've printed about a dozen but they keep disappearing. I suspect they're under the couch.
