I liked both Emmett's gear bearing and tjhowe's parametric airless tire. The next step was to put the bearing in the tire!

The stl uploaded is the original diameter gear bearing with 20mm of airless tire around it. I have shrunk the thickness to 12mm and beefed up the spokes of the tire to 0.8mm so should print as two filament thicknesses.

The OpenSCAD file is just both files from the orignal creators in the same document with a couple of minor edits make it hang together.

This is a small check valve that can be used to control the direction of flow in standard aquarium tubing (4mm inner and 6mm outer diameter) and requires a 4.5mm BB pellet.

As in the cut-out picture of the valve, the main chamber contains a pellet. If the flow comes from above, the pellet rests on a raster and fluid can flow around the pellet. If the flow comes from below, the pellet blocks the tubing on top, going out of the valve. The flow can only go from top to bottom. The direction of flow is indicated on the outside of the valve.

After having arms slowly deflect up on me I began to look for a more permanent solution. There are several different types of aluminum and ABS models out there. I took my MK8 design, added the pin and tab found on Whpthomas's version, and made a few modifications to get it printable at Shapeways in stainless steel. I know there were possible tolerance issues considering Shapeways gives a very large tolerance. The part I received measured very close (within .15mm), If you have this made, bear in mind the possible tolerance issue.

To satisfy a recent request... here it is:
My clamp with some teeth for additional grip.

Assembly is the same as in thingiverse.com/thing:73469 .

Have fun :)

A jig for making multiple stranded twisted wire. Works with anything up to 20awg wire (without scaling).
Holes are placed to align the wire while twisting. 5 and 6 strand twisted wire strands work better with a center.
3 stranded wire is the most stable. 5 and 6 work well with a center.
Pictured is 20awg and 28awg 3 strand twisted copper wire as well as 20awg 4, 5+c, and 6+c in the second picture.

This is a mod of Ark19's Twin LED Sphere with the center part enlarged to allow for the use of a 2032 battery which lasts longer. The only caveat is that the thicker battery means you have to be a little careful about not shorting it out with the LED leads. I bend them to the side a little to make them fit better as you see in the picture.

This was derived from the Sphere thing which I'd designed.
Designed a LED holder to attach 2x LED to a CR2016 button battery.
Have fun!

Modified iconic lizard by M. C. Escher in 3 dimensions. The top is drafted at 60° to create artistic striations of the profile when printed with a standard .010 inch per layer FDM printer. The individual pieces interconnect on a 1 inch hexagonal pattern. I find this to be a good example of the accuracy and ressolution of these printers. The parts are line to line and snap together nicely. X and Y coordinates show the limit of resolution and the Z coordinate shows the comparative coarseness of detail in that axis.

Decided to try my luck making the Tiesto logo in two seperate colors. One glow in the dark blue and the other black...the ring fit decently when it was sanded some but the bird itself needs a bit more work to fit fully ill post pics when I get it to fit. but till then figured I would post this and let you all have some fun with it in the mean time.

Prototype for the UCMerced Capstone team: Team B.R.A.V.E.

Design is fully parametric in OpenSCAD (although there are some issues with using the scale feature at the moment, to be fixed in the future).

Too big? See the chickadee thingiverse.com/thing:67916 for a 100mm high performance glider!

If you liked the Stratos, you'll probably love the Monarch! With a little bit of retro feel and a more organic appearance, this glider now holds the title of my highest performing flyer! Flying slightly better than my very popular stratos glider ( thingiverse.com/thing:31944 ), the monarch even looks great standing still! Enjoy!

I really liked paulhoover's "Vegetable garden signs" and thought I'd try creating something similar in Customizer.

While I'll admit this doesn't have as much style as Paul's they should work OK for *custom* garden labeling.

Just edit this
thingiverse.com/thing:33295
so it could be print in only 3 pieces

A Linbin without border which is stackable and has a place for a label.

A small, simple keychain in the shape of the surprisingly scary little creeper from Minecraft.

UPDATED 2011.10.27: V2 now has facial features and a better chain attachment.

The design itself belongs to Mojang and all that. Go ahead and buy Minecraft if you haven't already: minecraft.net Be warned though, it's highly addictive!

I've had this model for a while, but didn't know what to make of it, when someone suggested a creeper keychain. So here it is.

The picture with the key attached is the first test, I'm getting there, but there is still calibration to do on my Mendel.

The Minecraft/creeper related "cartoon" is best viewed in orginal size, or here: repraprip.blogspot.com/2011/03/coalition-of-obsessions.html

If you want a large creeper, take a look here: thingiverse.com/thing:8346

In the process of making my Chessbot functional I also redesigned the look of the thing. This is the original look with the new functional joints.

I am still selling the latest version and it's opponent on my etsy store cymonsgames.etsy.com

**Update** I am now building these and selling these on my Etsy! So if you don't have a printer yet, I will be happy to print you one! Check it out at etsy.com/listing/109657227/

Update 2: I've been making a lot of little changes that I realize I never uploaded here. So now I have. V3.1 for your consuming pleasure. All pieces are now the latest version. If you want the old version, I don't know why, you can still get the plate.

Featuring improved couplers for easier assembly and disassembly, better proportions and appearance, and a more printable design.

Carry your chess set to your next game in the coolest way possible.

This thing was made largely in tinkercad and can be edited online at tinkercad.com/things/9EMMYZIfQwy

Combination of Tardis with doors and stacker drawers

Could be filled with Who Chess set thingiverse.com/thing:19841 !

Now you can have your Dalek with not only full weapons but also front panels that open to reveal a Kaled operator.



**1/5/13 update: "dalek_head 2.0" and "bodycatch' files are now packaged. The pivot post is now a part of the body eliminating the need for a piece of filment or the "rod". Please make these files your first choice for head/body, as they offer for the easiest and most reliable construction.

'Bodycatch' file is the body with a catch for the front doors. BIG thanks to MacGyver for his suggestions and speedy testing of the updates :)

This Dalek model is derived from guydebored's models. I wanted to print a larger sized Dalek on my TOM, so I sliced up the model, but I didn't want to glue the pieces together.

I've always wanted to connect split up parts with a pin connector, so this is the first time I've tried something like that. I used the PLA Cube Gears as a template for creating my pins and sockets.

The added benefit of using the pins is that each section, including the head can spin.

The models, especially the bottom part, aren't perfect, but I've ran them through netfabbcloud, and they slice and print without any issues.

A tiny sample of the power of computational design.

This is part of my R&D into surfaces/mesh manipulation techniques.

Designed for high resolution 3D printing - Size was carefuly calculated to enable correct wall thickness, so if you scale it down you might loose walls or details.
At the bottom there is a cut hole to insert a LED to make it a cool table lamp.

** Update: Added a 4th file - Cellular Yoda (My favorite)

Weekly cup nr18, thanks to [Anne Wagemakers](www.annewagemakers.nl) for the graphic...
This year I [will] upload a new cup every week. Sometimes with patterns made by other graphic designers...

A variant of the bottle clip name tag suitable for German "Steinie" beer bottles (or "Knolle", "Stubbi", or just DIN 6199, there are many names). Without logo to save space.

X-Wing Fighter made in 3dsmax. I was making a wall decoration so I cut the end of the x-wing off. If you want me to add the back end I can. This was printed on a makerbot Replicator 2 at .15mm and painted with Testors paints and an airbrush kit.

Neat little F-15 fighter jet puzzle business card holder

Also step files for those of you who wish to make modifications.

[From this thing](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:27097) by padorange, in turn by derived from clothbot.

It is an [ImplicitCAD](http://implicitcad.org/) file. However it turns out it works with regular openscad too.

(this required near-zero work for me :) )

I wanted to print out one of those nifty gear rings for a friend, but my printer can't handle detail that fine, and PLA isn't strong enough for those tiny gear teeth anyway. So I redesigned it from scratch for a larger scale, a bracelet instead of a ring, for something my printer could print.

This piece is held together purely by friction and spring pins - no glue or screws required. It should also be printable on nearly any machine, even if you only have a 120mm bed. Mine was printed in PLA, but ABS should work too.

Parts of the design were based on the involute gear SCAD and Emmet's locking pin design. The parts were all drawin in Autocad - I have no openscad source files to share.

Update - reworked all the files to be easier to assemble and less likely to spring apart when you rotate the rings. Also, I have updated the autocad drawing files used to create the stl files.

I created a wall mount for the iPhone 5 that would provide a cleaner look and slim profile against the wall thus keeping your phone out of danger from accidents by cord snagging.
