This is a very cool printable Citroen Car Wheel

Note: Too bad the Citroen logo is bad because there are only one or two layers below it, and I can´t fix the model.

I wanted to create a vase of my own. I like the twisted vases but I wanted to make something special. So I came up with the idea to make a double twisted vase. There are two the same parts, both twisted 90 degrees. The one twisted left, the other right. Then the file was uploaded to Netfabb to get rid of all the faults. And because of this the inside turned out to be just as special as the outside!

I have several coils of multi-coloured loose filament which I wanted to use on my Replicator. This spool design allows for easy resizing of the spokes for fitting into loose spools of filament and reuse on other spools. There is no need to wind on the filament as with some other solutions. I can mount both the smaller but thicker USA sourced filament coils and the larger New Zealand sourced filament coils on my Replicator. Options are provided for mounting on the back of a Replicator 1 (and possibly other models) as well as for external spool holders running on an axis away from the Replicator.

**Update 19 May 2013:** Thanks to a heads up from MobyDisk I have made a small change which fixes a problem when printing the hub using Repg.

Gijs created a great cover for the printhead of the Ultimaker. The printer looks much more professional just by adding that thing.

But I found out that Gijs' version is out of date as it doesn't fit for the latest version of the Ultimaker which has an updated extruder (Extruder version 2.0).

So I made an updated version that fits the new printhead very well. My cover also features a small hole at the left side that can be used to 'tunnel' additional cables from the outside into the printhead, e. g. cables from a second fan.

In the tradition of barrel of monkey's these guys are meant to link together en masse. They can form chains or even checkered sheets by connecting on all four corners.

This thing was originally conceived and designed by MakerBot's own Matthew Griffin (http://thingiverse.com/mifga). Enjoy and please send comments, we're still working on it!

Check out v16 for our latest and greatest version! the sc55 version is the version that they are printing at MakerBot lately....

For Ultimaker fans, wear it with pride!

This is a 'stretchlet' with embossed "Ultimaker" text. The stretchlet concept was pioneered by Emmett (AFAIK): thingiverse.com/emmett

Mirko van Landschoot initially made this, but I ( thingiverse.com/Erik ) recreated it in OpenSCAD so I could completely control how much the text should be embossed, etc. The Ultimaker font file is generated by Paul Candler based on our logo.

I created a simple single walled tornado shape for testing multiple materials on my ultimaker.com
Printing this from transparent PLA give a nice effect in combination with the large artifacts.

Figuring out what settings cause stringing can be a rather mysterious business. Some filaments are also more prone to stringing than others. To help add a bit of rigour to your experiments, here is a test object designed to examine stringing, while also ensuring that any changes you make do not compromise surface finish.

This is the Ultimaker Robot in 3D as a key chain hanger.
Modeled by Curt Roth, Thank Curt!

I've also added a file including support for the hands.

When I was little, I had a wooden snake just like this (but better). The cutouts allow it to bend. So I thought I'd print out something similar to see if it would work.

In PLA it is kinda stiff. A more flexible material would probably be better.

I made the snake short so that it would fit on a Makerbot, so it came out kinda chubby. It could actually be a little bit longer and still fit. At some point I will design and post a longer version for RapMan/Mendel sized beds. Or maybe a modular snake!

Oh and the STL has some weird stuff on the edges of the nose, but it doesn't seem to hurt anything when printing.

Dimensions: 80.2mm x 80.2mm x 11.3mm tall
(It is printed diagonally, the snake itself is around 110mm long)

EDIT (Feb 11, 2011)

I've included an alternate file, SnakeThin.STL. This version has a thinner core that should be only a single layer thick. It ends up being much more flexible. Skeinforge kept giving me trouble with the core so I scaled up the model slightly.

SnakeThin dimensions: 84mm x 84mm x 11.7mm tall

This is parametrized Box model. It can be adaped to your wishes by changing the parameters like height, diameter, screwing angle, grip height, and curve parameters. In case you just want a screwable jewellery box I included 3 versions of the box as stl files.

Simple twisted vase design, I made this real quick to try out the vase profile on my ultimaker.

The trouble with 3D printing a ball bearing is that spheres don't adhere to the 45 degree rule, so they tend to print poorly, or if metal balls are used instead, then the bearing requires assembly. This is a new kind of bearing that can only be manufactured by 3D printing and comes preassembled.

It is a planetary gearset and functions like a cross between a needle bearing and a thrust bearing. No cage is required to keep the rollers in place, because their gearing keeps them perfectly spaced. The gears are all herringbone, which is why it cannot be disassembled and also why it can act as a thrust bearing. If you're wondering how well a 3D printed bearing could work under load, please check out my video: youtu.be/ZghwSBiM0sU

This design is fully parametric and made to be adjusted in the Customizer app to whatever you need. Thanks to aubenc for finding a problem in the first version.

Deep in the land of ice and snow,
a terrible beast does call this his home.

He's hungry. He's horrible! Though actually, adorable.
He's Mumble the humble Abominable Snow Monster!

He'll happily sit on your counter or table.
Bringing good cheer and some smiles if able.

So make him today, for keeps or to give away.
"I'm happy you did!" Yes, that's what he'll say.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from ProtoParadigm!

This micro quadcopter is 3D printed with ABS plastic parts. The arms are capable of bending without fracturing under a heavy impact, yet they are rigid under a normal load. These attributes are perfect for a micro multicopter frame.

Kits and parts are available for purchase from my website:

People have seen the front of their HBP sag almost 2mm after 30 minutes. Before this modification I was getting 1.8mm sag after 30 minutes and now .45mm sag after 30 minutes.

This includeds the hinges and laser cut parts to make a front door solution for your makerbot Replicator

This is to go along with the (unofficial) Replicator XL. The hood from thingiverse.com/thing:23386 will work with thr RepXL but the sides and front are different.

Polar projection.

I designed this Dragon Egg Vase By using a masking technique with a voronoi pattern.

3D print it with ABS, PLA or Glazed Ceramics at ponoko.com

This fully assembled, print-in-place, functional belt is available now! Print it out yourself and wear it to hold your pants up, or check it out on display in our retail store.

The entire belt and buckle can be printed on one build plate on the original Replicator. The belt in the picture was made in Transparent Blue MakerBot PLA on the Replicator 2, and it works perfectly. You should be able to fit over 7' of belt at this scale on the plate at one time.

Looks great with matching High Heeled Shoes!

I'm going to say something your friends have been afraid to tell you: You could stand to lose a few polygons.

Here's a blank canvas for the new you. Or your Halloween costume. Or maybe your audition for store mannequin. Or your general purpose anonymity needs.

Sometime in the future I hope to make a full head version, but I wanted to post what I've gotten done so far in case someone could use it for Halloween 2012. The original idea was to make a papercraft alternative for artists who can't afford the "planes of the head" plaster model, so keep your eyes peeled for further developments.

I'm going to make a mask with dark paper, and use glow-in-the-dark tape to highlight the edges - I'll be Wireframe Man!

EDIT: Since originally posting this, I've seen comments by people stating they intend to make the make the mask using materials other than paper. Please note that many of the polygons aren't true flat planes, and there are a couple of twists that are challenging enough with thick paper. This mask, as designed, is impossible to build using rigid materials.

EDIT: 10/31/12 - Thanks for all the email messages, comments and photos I've been getting! I'm overwhelmed by the response. I had a family emergency these past few days, and the good vibes sent my way helped keep my spirits up.

This piece was inspired by some artwork at my friend's house, hence I am naming it after her :)

It is a beautiful piece which will confuse most people the first time they see it, as they try to figure out which part leads to where and how!

This nice, easy to print vase will be a nice gift for friend or family to come along with some nice flowers!
