I wanted to have a glidecam, but was not fully satisfied with the already available glidecam designs. They were too complex, needed to many not-printable parts, or even not-shelf parts.

This design uses a minimum of non-printable parts like screws and nuts. You don't need to solder, or weld any part for this design. It is assembled fast and most of the work is done by your 3d printer.

The system gives me very stable results. I was blown away after reviewing the first video test. The performance I think is just beautiful. Unfortunately I can't compare it to a professional glidecam. If you have one please tell us which one performs better!

You will quickly get the hang of how to use the glidecam correctly and once you do it is like moving your camera with a dolly.

You can see a cost estimation in the attached excel sheet. My overall cost was 35€. Try to beat that!

-- Update --
I replaced the bottle as a counterweight and added 42 washers on the weight rig instead. Overall this increased the cost to 46€.

- Modeled in Blender. The source file is attached.

A entirely printable steve model with face and pickaxe.

It uses 1.75mm filament to attach the arms to the body.

The v2 version is a bit more stable standing up by moving the centre of gravity of the head back. It allows the arms to be angled higher.

scraper you can scale to whatever size you need.

I just got a new 0.5kg PLA filament spool and needed a spoolstand for it. I didn't have any metal parts at home but I couldn't find an entirely printable free standing filament spool holder. At home so I made everything printable. I just finished it after about 5 hours of work. Hope you all like it.

It was very carefull to make it entirely printable without support structure. Depending on how well you printer is calibrated with regards to the bridges you should have no problem printing this design.

Btw: I tried to do some finite element analysis in Catia, but I don't really understand yet how to do it for an assembly.. I tested the holder on its own and the displacement is less than 0.1mm so it should be good to go.

The design is made so it can be glued onto a surface. I am using the powerstrips from tesa (see picture). These should have no problem holding it.

I during a small study break I quickly made this model as a practice. It is the basic block of the Fischer Technik play system (comparable to lego but much more advanced).
I loved the system and it was part of the reason I am studying engineering now.

Unfortunately I don't have the exact measures of the diameters of the block. So they might be slightly off. I made it as close to what I had in memory as possible. I also included the catia source file if somebody wants to change the dimensions.

I needed a lamp mount for my bike. This is what I came up with.

See the video of the creation here:
youtube.com/watch?v=Ts9hvJNGRZM

Designed in catia: 45min
Print time: 80min

You can find the optimized mount by pachek here: thingiverse.com/thing:67312

I created this to test out the performance of my 3d printer. It challenges your settings regarding cooling and the right retraction of filament.

I think I got it pretty good! And I challenge you to make it better! Upload the picture to proove it!

I really liked the low poly mask, but wanted a printable version that would fit my huxley printer. So here you go :).

I wanted to have a lenshood for my videocamera.

The inner diameter is 7cm. I also uploaded the catia source file, so you can adjust it as needed.

The full version and the first halve version have a wall thickness of 2 mm. I also uploaded a 1.5mm version, for those who want to save some material. (About 2 meters of 1.75mm filament per halve)

A simple cable clip to glue on your table.

---UPDATE---
I have uploaded the crown split into printable parts with max bound dimensions of 13cmx13cmx8.6cm. It can be printed supportless.
---UPDATE---

In germany Carneval is comming up in a couple of month and I thought about a nice costume. Then I stumbled across an image on 9gag of the Lichking crown. I really like it and so it took me the afternoon to complete a nice model.

I mainly used the 9gag foto as reference.

I plan on wearing it with a black morph suit and over the suit a black robe. I also want to add a sword and some armor gloves, check my other designs, I will upload them soon, but probably will forget to update this status :D.

The .blend file is attached if you want to modify it yourself.

Triangles: 761464
Number of shells:1
Surface area: 14.01dm2
Volume: 0.25dm3
Outbox: 167.7 x 210.8 x 425.7 mm

Production cost: ca. 15€

After seeing the redstone ore from thinkgeek I thought why not print it myselft? So I made some nice models and here you go, your very own printable minecraft ore lamp.

I want to make to make my lamp blue, since its the color of the diamonds, but you can use any color you want. If you use red, it will be exactly like the redstone ore, since they use the same texture pattern. Or maybe try some green for some nice uranium!

After seeing dezbots silver ware drink mixer I thought why not make the whole thing in the 3d printer? The blades diameter is 4 cm so it should fit in any glass.

Hope you like it!

Cleaned up the original model from DLPlanes which had some flaws in it. I also turned it upside down. I had best results printing with a raft.

Hi guys

if you study aerospace engineering at TUDelft and you are a total badass cause you dont care about the strict law against food and drinks in the lecture room, then you have found the right cupholder to print!

It exactly fits our coffeemachine cups (5.4 cm diameter) and is designed to be fit between two tables.

Why should you print this? Well as you know our tables are angled so your coffee would slip of it also by attaching the cup holder to the side you have much more free room.


Designed in Catia, refined in Blender, Printed on a reprappro huxley.

Hi, I want to share with you my universal phone stand design.

It holds anything at an angle of 40 degrees and ist best for phones with big screens. The centre of gravity can be at maximum 60 cm behind the edge you but at the bottom of the stand.

For those who have catia, I uploaded the catia file aswell. Have fun.

--UPDATE--

Hi guys just found out about that awesome tool called limited desolve in blender. Without loosing any detail in the geometry it punched down the filesize to 29kb from originally 2.9mb (that was after my manual cleanup.. catias export was about 60mb big :D)

I leave both versions uploaded (the v2 is the optimised one) so you can compare if you might want :D

Created in Blender 2.63

inspired by buZztiaan: thingiverse.com/thing:19234

Recommendation by the chef: Use it as an alternative to spin the bottle!

This is perfect for your keychain, if you simply love your university! (Can be used as a bottleopener, too!)

Made by a student of Aerospaceengineering.

---UPDATE---
I finally finished reviewing cleaning up and modifying the model for this Iron Man helmet. All the parts are now cut and oriented in a way that they can be printed supportless (exeption: the hinge mechanism, but it only needs very feew support).

It consists out of 55 different parts that need to be printed. They are all contained in the new Iron Man Helment optimized_v2.zip file.
--update above--

I wanted to print the IronMan Helmet. But I only own an Huxley 3d Printer, which only allows me to print on a platform roughly 13 by 13 cm and about 9 cm high. So at first I wanted to do a small scale version of my model, which by the way is completely by me! I didn't copy anything existing on the web, and I actually think my moddelling has worked out quite nice! The small version has roughly those measures: 11x14x16

I implemented a small hinge, to allow the mask to open, just the way it opened in the movies.

But the small version wasn't enough for me, so I scaled it up until a real human had would fit inside. The measures now are 23x30x33.3 cm. There is some room for inserting foam or sth similar, to make wearing it more comfortable.

But now I had the problem that such a large object wouldn't fit on my huxley printing bed. So I split up the model in many small pieces and layed them out in the most efficient way so all parts could be printed on my Huxley.

I also uploaded the complete assembled helmet and mask in large scale, if you want to split it up yourself!

I hope you like it! Please send pictures of your printout! Thanks!

Also please contact me if there are intersections or missing parts! Thanks :)

-- Improovement --
Naarzaul has added an additional piece to the jaw section to add a detail to make it look much more like the original version. You can find it here:
thingiverse.com/thing:33304

---ATTENTION!!---
The scale of the overall model is a little too big! You should scale it down by about 10 to 15% (some even say 20) to get a better size and save material. Sorry for everyone who has printed it in the large scale..

I wanted to have my Galaxy Nexus connected to my bike, just like my navigation-system is connected in my car. So I designed a simple holder that could be assembled only using a couple of cable binders.

My Galaxy Nexus clips in perfectly tight. It is not too tight, so you can easyly remoove it, but also it is tight enough so you wont loose it hitting bumps on the road.

PLEASE READ: I am using a protection cover on my Nexus. This specific one: goo.gl/hwUIx.
So all the dimensions are taken with the protection cover on the phone. So just the phone without the cover wont fit! But I assume that most people are using a cover, or know how to adjust the parts, just shorten them by 1 mm or so..

Unfortunately I can't upload any fotos of it, because I am currently on vacation, and the bike I have connected it to is back home in germany.

I already have created a funnel a couple of month ago, but someone questioned in a comment I should make the funnel stackable. So here we go!

I saw a picture of a chess drinking game on the web (see attached pic) and wanted to make my own.

So I quickly modelled the parts and startet printing. Overall there are 32 parts to be printed. I have only printed 20 yet. The others should follow soon.

Into the figurines fits a volume of 20 ml. So they are the standard size of a shot. Queen and King are slightly bigger, so they are biig shots! :)

Feel free to give critique in the comment section below!
Have fun, don't drink too much!! :D

This is my status so far in designing a lamp with a mushroom cloud as the lamps body. Currently I can't print, because my printer is broken down, but the next thing I will do if it runs again, is to test it out. I want to fill the free space inside it with leds, drill a hole into the sides and connect them to a usb caple. That way they can be connected to the computer and also using an adaptor.

You can find the turntable gif animation here:
maxprint3d.blogspot.de/2012/03/nuke-lamp-turntable.html

The first prototype is printed:
maxprint3d.blogspot.de/2012/04/nukelamp-first-prototype.html

This is a led ring light I build specifically for my Panasonic HDC-SD 909.
It is a ring of bright leds which surround the camera lens. The inner diameter of it is 7cm the outer diameter is 12cm. The distance to the camera mount is 6 cm. If your camera more or less fits those numbers (+-0,5 cm) you can print it as it is. Otherwise it is easily adjustable. It comes with a build in battery housing, designed by Obijuan.

48 leds are needed.

A little funnel I build, because the one im my kitchen was too big and bad to handel. This one works great for me.

1 part. 5cm in diameter, 6cm high

I just wanted one cup of tea. Buuuut I was too lazy to go into the kitchen. So I just printed one. It is made up of two parts. The container and its cap, which at least with my print seals up quite well.

P.s.: I printed it on the RapRapPro Huxley, and sorry for the poor image quality! My Sd card is broken so I needed to use my mobile.

Attention: I can not guarantee the secure use! I printed it using Pla, but I have no Idea wether it is a harm to our health. If you have any further information regarding that problem, please leave a comment below!

I'm very sorry, somehow the comment tool doesn't work.. So I post my answer here:

Thank you very much for the information! In boiling water the pla softens, but doesn't melt. There is no visible substance left behind in the water. I can't taste a major difference to normal water. So I will go to see if frequent use changes something.
