Need a masquerade mask, but just can't quite fit the Low Polygon Mask into your Replicator print volume?

Well, stop fretting and use OpenSCAD to trim some tiny edges off!

2013-01-01: At the last minute I slapped together and printed a stick that worked quite well as a handle (once a little silver duct tape was added on the inside of the mask). It's not perfect, but for being a ten-minute design it worked very well!

2013-01-02: Fixed the gap in the CC license-chain by switching from CC0 to CC-BY-NC-SA.

i just made a few changes of the original.. :)

It had to be done! Following the awesome work by Skimbal on his lego dudes, and the Vader head by lampmaker... I Present...
A Giant Darth Vader.
I modified the body slighly to add some Vader details ... and the head to fit the standard circular plug.

On every other episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine anyone sitting at the Replimat is always holding a cup of replicated Klingon coffee in this blue mug. (not to be confused with the purple one used in Quark's which I'll try making later because it's a little more complex) Since I started re-watching DS9 on Netflix, I kept seeing this mug and thought it would be a good excuse to try making something with Sketchup for a change.

I wasn't too happy with the quality of the mug so I also uploaded a smooth version that I loaded into Blender and decimated/subsurface divisioned a few times then used Meshmixer to smooth it some more.

To add weight to his words he stuck the rabbit bone in his hair. He spread his arm out wide. "I will go mad!" he annouced.

Have you ever felt the need to proclaim your madness but no rabbit bone was around?

No Problem! Just load this Rabbit-Bone-STL file into your 3D-Printer and a view minutes later you are ready to make your announcement.

This is an exactly proportional copy of the companion cube from portal, as traced from a screenshot.

There were a few cubes already on thingiverse which I've printed out dozens of, but they all had some issues with printability or proportionality. I think I've solved all the problems with this version.

This version is flat bottomed, and has no significant overhangs over 45 degrees.

It is carefully designed in Solidworks so any changes can be quickly and easily made. I also included step files since Solidworks is pretty unfriendly to a lot of other programs.

The default size is exactly 1in^3

The Cube in the thumbnail was printed by a Fablicator.

For me, the original was choking Slic3r even after running it through Netfabb, so I simplified the mesh with Meshlab. 123k faces reduced to 86k, with a much smaller file.

Simple iphone stand for desk

Per Cymon's suggestion (comments, parent work), split each in half (was that the correct half to cut?) leaving four identical parts, not just two.

I am proud to present a new Printable Interlocking Puzzle Cube, but this time I didn't design it.
Following the release of PIP#2, I was contacted by Bram Cohen (puzzle designer and author of the BitTorrent protocol) asking whether I had found any printable interlocking puzzle cube designs with a level higher than 1, i.e. needing more than a single move to take the first piece out.
This sounded like a great challenge and I set about about trying to design one but then Bram beat me to it - not once but twice. As Bram commented in his email, " the main thing causing difficulties is that the printed bottom of the pieces can't be facing the outside directly, because then they can just be pulled off as the first move, but because the bottom must by definition have the most voxels, putting those on the interior makes it very hard to fill up all the external voxels and not stuff shut the internal voxels."
His first attempt was a level 2 puzzle cube but that was quickly superseded by this very clever level 4 design.

I loved the original thing, but when I printed it the walls were just a hair to thin. I also split out the lid into separate STL's in case you want to print them separately

iPhone5 case derived from Helmi74's snap on case.

This is a cross between a set of brass knuckles and a tablet stand.

Just snap it or slide it onto your Nexus 7 and you've got a versatile stand and finger hold for your tablet.

It will support your tablet in the horizontal or vertical position.

Or, slip your fingers though the holes for a more confortable way to hold your tablet.

The IGS file is included so that this can be adapted to other 7 inch tablets.

A classic impossible object, the ball in a box. My amazing mother used to carve these from a solid block of wood back in the day. My first ever 3d object i used 3d tin hope it prints!
-My Mom carved these in the 70's and she got it from a book about Native American crafts i wonder if they had CC?

You have a set of number cookie cutters at home, you may even have the normal operations + - x /. What is you have an irrational urge to transcend the ordinary and let your imagination take you to the golden cookie!

This is the set for you. It includes some of the most opoular numbers not included in the standard 0-9 set as well as a few of the less common variables and the integral opperator.

The set contains:
e, i, pi, phi, Sigma (big and little), i, sqrt(-1), integral sign.

If you feel I have missed something out I may do requests if you ask nicely and promise to post pictures.

This is inspired by thing:32633, I liked the look but wanted a couple more features. It can be screwed down to a table or heavy block of wood. Also the phone can go in with headphones attached. I mirrored this dent to the right side to allow some sound to escape the external speaker.

- It was modeled in ProE-4 and printed on an UP! printer

Neat little two piece pulley and block so fit on top of an 8mm or 5/16" threaded rod, or screw it to the underside of a shelf above your printer.

The two pulley halves just fit together without the need for glue.

this is the best filament feed system I have come up with, it is very fast to change and lets you run multiple spools on a rack beside your printer thingiverse.com/thing:28944 or between them like I have done here.

Mine clips into the top rails of my Mendel Prusa via the mounting clamp I have used on other similar projects.

We were tired of having our solder spools jam up or fall off the shelf every time we needed to pull to get a little extra solder.

So we made this.

Mounts nicely on any shelf using double sided tape.

Fits spools up to 5cm in width, with spindle holes bigger than 18mm.

A scary looking skull with celtic pattern all over it. Can be usefull for guys who've already started preparing for Halloween.

You can also check out other models on our new 3D publishing site Viewshape.com created for people who'd like to share their 3D models with the world.

Just in time for Halloween! A printable, wearable arc reactor based on the Mark I movie version.

There are already some great arc reactors on here, but I wanted to take my own crack at it.

I wanted to make an arc reactor for Halloween, so I decided to print one. Disappointed that there were no printable LED arc reactors, I threw one together in SolidWorks. It houses 14 LEDs and requires no other parts besides wires. It should fit on a Maker Bot if I'm right, it's 100mm in diameter.

A model of a typical anvil created for a local Blacksmith.

One of the biggest problem i have with my bowden tube feed extruder is plastic that has kinks or bends in to, this gets stuck in my feeder and causes the filament to grind.

So taken from the idea of a wire straightener , here is my filament straightener.

i haven't had any grinding problem since starting to use it.

I find that after slicing my object, I then know how much filament is needed and then pull that amount through and then back and recoil it on the spool.



When using semi translucent plastics, running them through the straightener will turn them slightly white as is bends the plastic. But this colouration goes away after the plastic has been heated.

An experiment in polishing ABS, using increasingly finer wet-sanding paper, a special-purpose plastic polisher (Xerapol) and silicone spray.

A customizable .scad file for generating a rack with round or square holes. This was designed with cuvettes and vials in mind, but should be useful for any number of things.

Curiosity is the biggest, baddest, laser-wielding, plutonium-powered, robot-rover ever sent to Mars. On Sunday, August 5, 2012 it survived a dangerous landing that secured Mars exploration hopes for a decade. It will help answer the question of whether or not we are alone in the universe. Why not print this fearless hero for your desk?

Update 12/30/12: Fixed a lot of the parts in netfabb to better print on those picky printers. Leave a comment if you still have trouble.

Update 10/8/12: Freely spinning wheels! Just break them off and drive away - no extra pegs! Working rocker to allow the wheels to go over big Martian bumps while keeping all wheels on the ground! Updated head/neck connection that fits better and has fewer pieces.

Update 8/6/12: Updated body file that is much more accurate and detailed (with artistic license, of course).

Update 8/5/12: Fixed head file where one part was not touching the build platform.

If you like your resistor and diode leads to be bent uniformly and consistently, then this tool is for you. It also provides a useful task for the wee little ones in the house who want to assist you with your electronics projects.

This is Emmett's awesome screwless cube gears, all plated up for a single print on a Replicator.
