This is a customized spool holder for the Prototype Supply brand filament, available from Toybuilder Labs (http://www.toybuilderlabs.com).

This spool holder was created by editing the output of woale's Customizable Spool Holder for Replicator 2 -- thingiverse.com/thing:44906 to make the tongue fit into the slot on the Replicator.

UPDATE 5/22/2013:

Based on feedback of the earlier designs, I updated this to replace the small support tabs (seen in the picture of the original print) with beefier footings that will more readily stay on the print bed. I also slightly narrowed the width of the tongue to make it easier to put the holder onto the printer.

LumiDomes are terrific ball-shaped 3X magnifiers that are useful and fun -- they're great for the kids, too!

What I particularly like about them is that you can view a much larger area without moving the lens than you could with a regular magnifying glass -- you do have to move your head around, but the magnifier can be held in the same spot and does not need to be rotated.

You can get the 3-inch version from RadioShack for about $6.

I made a stand to hold my dome so that I can use it for quick soldering jobs on tiny components.

This rocket slips onto a 1" PVC pipe, to be fired by compressed air.

Our best launch was 306 feet.

This pass-thru protector has a channel that will receive a flat-style 3-conductor extension cord (Woods Tri-Way Cord, $10.50 at Target). This allows the cord to pass through the doorway without the danger of getting pinched between the door and the doorjamb.

I broke my 4th 40mm fan today. The problem with all other fan guards I've seen so far is that they do not intercept any tools headed for the fan blades.

This is inspired by Japanese fences that block the view, but not the wind.

The initial version is a proof-of-concept that was quickly put together, so you can still attack the fan blades from cerrtain angles -- but this should trap the most likely direction of tools headed for the fan.

This will let you build Pleppik's awesome Christmas Advent Calendar a little more quickly. The Advent boxes are grouped in 6 day chunks, plated to fit the build plate of the Replicator.

My wife wanted a case for Christmas. At $0.50 of plastic, I figured, why not?

Work in progress attempt to make a simple "twist-launch" propeller without requiring a support.

The backlight bulb for my climate control panel burned out. I needed a "radio removal tool" to release the control panel from the console.

These keys will "unlock" the latches holding the radio to the console.

This was quickly put together based on a picture at benzworld.org/forums/w210-e-class/1514205-tool-key-pull-out-radio-unit.html

The myTrek heart rate monitor is great, but it's buttons are too easily pressed when you put it away in the storage pouch. This turns on the monitor and drains its battery.

This button guard is a cover for the monitor so that it does not get accidentally turned on.

Many SSD drives and HDD's from notebooks are 2.5" form-factor drives. Most desktop machines are designed for 3.5" form-factor drives.

Use this bracket to adapt the 2.5" drive for use in a 3.5" drive space.

I wanted a "stand-in" physical model so that I can test out some ideas without having to mount a real LCD module. You are free to do with this as you wish.

Use linear bearings with your original wood ToM X Carraige!

This plate will hold SW6 / LMB6UU linear bearings to your existing plywood X-carriage by clamping down on the snap-rings that holds the bearings.

You can even install it without removing the X carriage from the belt...

I regularly print at 120mm/sec now!

Simple concentric rings with a square border. Not very big. The circles help identify X/Y tension mismatch (which is why I made this in the first place).

Simple hook -- for light-weight use. (Made as a replacement piece for a toy rescue helicopter.)

I found some surplus empty ABS spool cartridges for Dimension 3D Printers. The cartridges are nice because they have rubber seals to keep the moisture out.

I have plated (and resized) all components of the screwless heat gears (by emmett) so that it can be printed in a single over-night job. STL file is sized for HBP/ABP. This is a work in progress.

I made a tubing-attachment flange that I press-fit onto a plastic jar so that I can create a source of CO2-mist to blow bubbles.

The boys and I had a lot of fun with these CO2-mist filled bubbles!

I took jetty's paper crimper stl's and brought them together into a single stl "plate" so that I can print it in one operation.

Plating was done using TurboCAD, importing the stl's, and then saving the result as a single stl file.

I printed madscifi's dump truck design on my Thing-O-Matic. It was one my first successfully completed prints.
