This is an adjustable camera mount for an ordinary paint pole. The pole is used to get your camera up high above the ground without kites, balloons, or expensive toy helicopters. All for the cost of less then five dollars! This will allow you to take photos easily at a height you cannot reach. The photo of the Mini Cooper shows the difference between a eye level shot on the street and the second shot using the paint pole camera mount. The camera is a small hand held digital with a ten second timer so it gives you more than enough time to take a photo. But any camera with a timer should work fine. The pole used for the second car shot was only four feet in length imagine what a 12 or 15 foot pole would be like.

This is an lens holder for optical experiments.

I loved making this violin. It was a lot of fun to make. I sometimes wish I had four hands so I made a few changes to help in the assembly process. I added cut outs to the top and bottom and tabs to the sides. It gave me freedom to glue the sides to the bottom and leave the top unglued until I have everything just where I wanted it.

Build something your child will treasure for a lifetime, a treasure chest! Our son absolutely loves all things treasure, so I decided to create a small treasure chest for him. He absolutely loves the result, keeping his most valuable treasure safe inside. Then of course our other son wanted one desperately too, so I improved the cut and made another. And then the wife wanted one for her desk at work, and then one as a present for her sister… So I thought I might share the design.

For 3mm MDF.

File optimised to share all cut lines and minimise material needed.

Genuine curved wood slat lid.

Working lock.

2 unique keys provided.

Guaranteed to attract treasure of all kinds.

That's obviously no peace pipe, but a convenient tool to hold the nuts where they must go, such as these incredibly tricky corners and rod caps on the printers...

Update: I have added customizer support for your own needs (check the button above). I took the idea of opening the head laterally from peteruithoven (see derivations), thanks!

There’s nothing like housing your modern technology in the façade of old technology. This is a small laser cut box that can hold up to 8 full-sized SD flash cards. There is a small living spring that will hold the lid shut when it’s bouncing around in your bag. You can open the box from either side.

With Christmas coming up, this would make great easy to make gift. I know I’ll be making a set of them.

This holder is the second generation of a SD card box, the original version was not nearly as much fun.

Here's a simple tool that will help you insert and remove all of those little Lego Technics pegs. You'll also need a cross axle to insert into the end hole - I used one with a stop and epoxied it in. Key ring is optional...

A useful extension of my test probe adapter (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:61466).
This is a simple jumper set that gives you a convenient set of mini probes for testing your breadboarded circuits.

Stop letting your honeycomb table get in the way of your laser projects. The Lazor Blades are a type of small, modular, knife blade "puck" for your laser cutter, letting you move them around however you need for your project.

This version of the iPhone holder adds an amplifier horn in front of the speaker output and a smaller one in front of the microphone.

Mount for hanging your projector from ceiling.
Modeled with Cubify Invent.

This spool is made to be able to quickly change plastic of different colors which are on rolls of different diameters. Each hook is easily adjustable with a single bolt in a captive nut. It is important that the spool does not turn too easily which would allow the filament to get tangled.
The arms of the spool are aluminium extrusions of 10x10 mm.

The idea for the construction is borrowed from the "damped spool" by FatFreddie.

CUSTOMIZER CHALLENGE CONTEST WINNER - Useful Category

Update v1.3: Added 3 plate sizes "Standard", "Junior-Jumbo", and "Jumbo". If you've got a larger hole in your wall these may help.

So here it is, my first model designed in OpenSCAD. I found something that would really benefit from being a parametrically designed model: Wall Plates. I've created a OpenSCAD model that allows you to pick from a list of 18 types of connector/outlet style which then generates a 3D model correctly oriented and modeled to be immediately 3D printed.

So what options did I include in this file? Well I’ve allowed the user to pick any width from 1 to 5 “plates” wide. These were measured off the standard electrical box sizes and should match screw holes in your existing boxes. The list of available plug and outlet styles is listed below:

1. Blank Port
2. Toggle Switch (Takes up entire plate)
3. Duplex Outlet (Takes up entire plate)
4. Rocker/Designer Plate (Takes up entire plate)
5. Keystone Jack
6. VGA Port
7. HDMI Port
8. DVI-I Port
9. Displayport
10. Cat5e/Cat6 Port
11. USB-A Port
12. USB-B Port
13. Firewire IEEE 1394 Port
14. DB-09 Port
15. PS2 Port
16. F-Type/Coaxial Port
17. S-Video Port
18. Stereo Headphone Jack

With the exception of #2-4 all of the plug types are modular and be placed on the top, bottom, or centered on a generated wall plate. All of the ports (excluding the outlets and keystone jacks) are designed to accommodate DataPro.net’s panel-mount cables.

I asked a Mathlete friend of mine if he could calculate the possible number of plug and plate combinations and well, the number is big, real big. He estimates that you can generate a total of 850,789,801,599 possible permutations. Making this possibly one the most customizable objects currently on Thingiverse. If you'd like to check his math here's some nerdy details: thenewhobbyist.com/wall_plates.txt

Also I've included more details and a few additional pictures in a blog post here: thenewhobbyist.com/2013/02/designing-with-parameters/

Change Log:

Update v1.1: Stopped by Home Depot and picked up some wall plates to make a few corrections (thanks 3dsteve). I corrected the screw locations on the "toggle", "outlet", and "designer/rocker" plates. If you've generated one of these you may want to re-generate it.

Update v1.2: Added "Long Toggle Switch" for laird.

Update v1.3: Added 3 plate sizes "Standard", "Junior-Jumbo", and "Jumbo". If you've got a larger hole in your wall these may help.

The cheesiest way to prop open a door.

It is a H-type clip to connect the timing belt T2.5.
Can be used if the to modify timing belt T2.5/T5/T10/MXL parameters.

Is friction giving you the blues? BB King is here to help!

This is a proof-of-concept print to evaluate using standard BB bullets as the rolly bits in a 3D printed bearing. I'll be using what I learned from this in some projects I have coming up!

VIDEO: youtu.be/3pl6-AXtWZY

I'm using 6 mm plastic BB bullets and I printed my prototype in ABS at .1 mm layer height, 10% in-fill and with 3 shells on my original Replicator.

I had to scale the model up a hair and that is reflected in my THING file. The STL files are original scale.

ENJOY!

You will need 608 bearing and a spring.

A flange for mounting 100mm air conditioning ducting.

Used on the window mounted exhaust panel of my fume cabinet for my RepRap Prusa Mendel. (Short description: youtube.com/watch?v=YKh6kgO77Us)

The A/C ducting is standard 100mm ducting, as used in range hoods and bathroom extraction fans.

A simple and sturdy caddy to hold your blow-off-tube assembly to the side of your fermenter so it is easy to move, and cannot be knocked over by people or pets. Plus the sanitizer vessel now has a more secure top.


If you have ever brewed beer before you may have needed a blow-off-tube to stick into the top of your fermenter. This tube, and chamber acts like an over sized airlock that will (Hopefully) catch any excess foam and liquid that may have sprayed out due to vigorous fermentation.

Why print this part? Well if you have used a blow off tube, then you have probably taped a length of tube into an open vessel full of sanitizing solution, hoping the whole thing doesn't fall over and spill everywhere. It is also a pain if you ever have to move the fermenter since its has a length of tube precariously stuck into the top of an open vessel like a cup or bowl.

The main reason I made this caddy is because I have a cat, a very curious one! I sure don't want to leave an open container of sanitizer out, and even if its somewhat sealed, he could knock it over. But not any more! Print these two parts, buy a few rubber bands and a ball jar, and keep your fermenter setup nice and organized.

A gripper I have made as part of my college graduation project, based on the design of jjshortcut, included on his Robotic arm with 7 servos (see link on the left).

In my version, the mechanism is moved by a linear actuator (used to adjust automotive headlights) instead of by a servo motor. Also, unlike the original, I've used a robotic construction kit to prototype the main structure of the arm, so my gripper have two holes on each side that will only fit parts included in the kit. (see image on the left).

Lastly, if you do need to customize but don't know the first thing about how to create round toothed gears from scratch, you might also be interested in reading a document I wrote, compiling my experience on the subject so far: stefanomega.com.br/thingiverse/geartut/index.html
