This is an OpenSCAD parametric model for making THE timing pulley that you need. It's designed to generate a model printable without support material (observing the overhang rule of thumb).

You can configure it to fit the belt that you're using. The pulley can be fixed to a threaded shaft with a nut. On one side the nut (the setting for an M8 hex nut is configured for you already) will sink into the pulley. If you tighten a nut on the other side as well it will be very well fixed.

Another option is to use a set screw. You just specify the diameter of the screw and it will create a hub with a (capped) teardrop hole.

The STL file included works well with the Synchroflex(R) timing belt,1500Lx10Wmm from RS (order code 474-5892), spliced in half (to 5 mm width). This way you'll have a very good belt driven system for about 4 euros per meter. The belt comes as a closed loop, but you may need to glue it to get it to the right length.

Please share your settings in the discussion when you've tested it in combination with a commercial belt! ]]> Erik Tue, 01 Dec 2009 10:36:11 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1362 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1785

I wanted to experiment with rounded corners and edges in openscad. Its written as a library you can include and use, but keep in mind that the roundedBox is pretty CPU-intensive and doesn't always generate a 100% manifold object. Should still be printable.

Enjoy! ]]> hoeken Tue, 09 Feb 2010 20:54:48 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1786 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1339
parametric helical gearsThis is the second half of my openscad.org gear sets.

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.

This thing is part of a set:
- spur gears: thingiverse.com/thing:1336

UPDATE: 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. ]]> catarina Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:52:31 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1339 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:798
Quickie Laser-cut iPhone/iPod dockHere is a simple dock made from acrylic, machine screws, and an existing iPhone/iPod cable.

It is made of four slices of 1/4″ acrylic (actual width 0.22″). The top two slices have an oval opening just snug enough to fit the ipod connector and keep it in place with friction. The third slice has a channel for the cable to escape out the back, and the bottom slice keeps the cable from falling out and provides some pushback when the iphone is inserted. It’s held together by four 1″ 2-56 machine screws with nuts. I was a little concerned with the nuts scratching the table, so I’ve since added little hot glue feet to the bottom of each nut.

I didn’t add an additional layer at the top to provide lateral support of the iphone because I didn’t have long enough screws. And besides, it doesn’t seem to need it. If I get longer screws, I might make one that has the extra layer, which would also make the dock bigger, to encompass the bottom of the iPhone. And that would be good because it adds more mass to the dock, making it more stable.

A box for your AVR Dragon!
3 Files are needed , the right order is : 4mm Part, 6mm, 6mm , 3mm and then once again 4mm.
4mm parts are top and bottom, of course you could use thinner or thicker material.
2 times 6mm material is used for the USB opening. 3mm for the ribbon cable opening.
Use 3mm screws to assemble it.
Enjoy! ]]> chavotronic Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:27:45 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1669 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1481

parametric gearsEven though there are lots of great gears on thingiverse, I couldn't resist the urge to model some too :)

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

I also made a version for helical gears: thingiverse.com/thing:1339 ]]> catarina Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:33:55 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1336 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:906

Plastruder MK4 PrototypeThis is a derivative of the Plastruder MK3 design I've been working on. The goal is to make the plastruder into a printable design that can be made on a MakerBot. I also wanted to take on an ambitious project to put the new AOI plugin, MetaCAD through its paces. Learn about metacad at metacad.org

This extruder design uses 5 printed pieces: two halves that bolt together for the housing, 2 dinos to put it at the right height for printing, and a simple insulator retainer to keep the PTFE in the right spot. The rest of the design is mostly the motor, heater barrel assembly, electronics, and a 625 bearing to provide the pinching force. It has yet to be tested, but ideally it will be simpler to put together, as well as a sturdier design with no squeaks! I've printed all the parts on my travel bot, and as soon as I get home, I'll be assembling them and testing them out.

A few design notes:

* no more layered construction! that was a hack to make it laser-cuttable. new design is two halves bolted together. one half holds the motor + filament, the other half holds the idler wheel.
* idler wheel switched from acrylic + 608 bearing to a single 625 bearing. smaller, more compact, and nothing but a nearly indestructible bearing to break. should be quite a bit more consistant
* 4 adjustable screws with captive nuts for setting the pinch wheel tension. you'll be able to adjust it on the fly, without any sort of dis-assembly. hopefully the abs will act as a sort of spring as well

a few things i'd like to change yet:
* rotate the captive nut slot on the right-housing to be in-line with print direction for a better finish.
* switch the captive nut / bolt head holes between right and left housings to improve print quality for both (adjust on right side instead of left side) ]]> hoeken Sat, 06 Jun 2009 22:32:09 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:668 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:645

Parametrized Lego BricksWhile talking to Zach I got inspired to model lego bricks in order to create custom bricks - the ones you always wanted but thought you never could get. Well now you can!

Of course it does not snap in place as nicely as original lego bricks but it should be good enough to create the custom lego piece you always wanted. ]]> wizard23 Mon, 11 May 2009 04:44:44 +0100 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:591 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:573

Keyboard PantsToday was Fashion Hacking day with Diana Eng at NYC Resistor and I've wanted to make these keyboard pants for a long time. The basic idea was to take a flexible silicone keyboard and somehow integrate it with some pants (or shorts). I had they keyboards laying around for a while and I ran down to the Conways to get some jeans for about $8 (Yay fulton mall!)

This was inspired by a cool project I saw a long time ago on the hypernets: engadget.com/2008/04/23/keyboard-infused-pants-make-it-okay-to-grab-your-crotch/

An eight-legged big spider robot.

The design goal was to create a legged robot that is large enough to walk regular stairs and strong enough to lift simple loads. It also had to be simple enough to use regular RC-srevos and could be cut with my minimal CNC machine.
