A cleaner and quicker solution to the toilet seat problem.

I designed a minimal sake set of 4 cups and a dispenser with it's lid.

I suggest not printing it in ABS but in Polylactic acid.

My first variation of my original beer (errr, BEVERAGE) holder, with a relatively nice shape requiring no support to build (unlike my first design, which I designed LONG before I had a Thing-O-Matic). My first print of the original design (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:15321) did not work out so well (so I cancelled the print 30 minutes into the estimated 7 hour & 50 minute print... full support just killed it).

My print of this version is already finished (364-layer print & took a little over 4 hours to built). The photos to the left are basically "fresh out of the printer", with very little clean-up.

Note: This version DOES NOT have the tapered "V" mounting block feature, like my first design. It's just a stand-alone can holder. But it works. And with it's MUCH shorter build time (versus my 1st design), I just wanted to print this version for real-world testing (and adjustments, if necessary). With it's 68mm inside design diameter, my beer (errr, BEVERAGE) slipped right into the holder, and it's a perfect fit... snug enough to hold the can with no slop or slippage (is "slippage" a word? Heh heh), but with no room for movement at all. Exactly as I'd planned it.

i modified the original by making the cone snap in and out as well as chopping off the hard corners.

print it with exterior support

this is still a work in progress, it works but i can make it better

the large cone i printed failed half way through so i glued it to another cone i had to make a super mega phone cone.

the straight one with the small cone is pretty damn loud i drilled out the hole so its not the correct size for slip in fit.

this is a video of the sound difference

Strømg Lump Leaks is a ceiling lamp designed by Lamp Lumps (LL).

The used technique is self supporting interlocking of pieces (without gluing, screwing or nailing) of 547 different pieces of polypropylene routed with a three-axis CNC.

The conception and materialization is mixed by using digital and analogue means.

The first name Strømg is the junction of the English term strong with the Danish surname Strøm. Strong, because it is a robust three-dimensional puzzle witch form is the result of small variations in each of the pieces. Strøm, because this work is an homage to Holger Strøm and his IQ Lamp.

The Lump Leaks surnames suggest, for instance, the leaking drops of water or the leaking of information. The abstraction of the concept results, morphologically, in a piece that is the materialisation of the metaball modeling technique that was widely used by pioneers of digital media in architecture in the 90’s.

This is a laser cut teardrop pendant that I'm in the process of making. I think I'll end up with 3 separate drops as lights hanging in a circle at different heights. I have a forum at sharemake.com/groups/laser-cutters/forum/topic/tear-drop-laser-cut-pendant-light/ on the whole process.

This is just the prototype but if you like it make it. It all works and fits together fine.

Being a child of the 70's, arcade games hold more for me than these xbox things... I've often thought about buying one - a real one - for home. I've looked at MAME cabinets and all sorts of options, but at the moment I've only got a little place with little space, so what I needed was a little arcade machine. I drew this up over the last couple of evenings in CorelDRAW. It stands about 130cm / 5" tall.

This is a mount for a GoProHD camera. A minute with a razor and both parts accepted the GoPro male part very nicely. No slop at all. Just stick a piece of double-side tape on it and attach it to something.

This mount is interchangeable with the OEM mounts and my other mounts.

Do you have a GoPro? Do you have a MakerBot? If you answered yes to both of these question continue reading.
If you answered no to either leave! No, I'm just kidding!
You know that your GoPro needs to be mounted on a base. But those mounts are expensive, so I decided to build my own mount, and it works great, total cost its less then a $1.
-Look at the pictures below, there is one where you can see the mount, clearly-

Small display stand to hold a turned pen upright

Nice holder to keep you IPHONE or IPOD of the ground while charging. Large print, can only be made on Mendel right now. But I bet somebody will chop it up for there makerbot to print. Also a folding charger would be cool. Possibly some M3 screws and nuts, or just 3mm filament?

Inspired when I saw this for sale at Bed bath and beyond over the holidays

Solidworks model is available to modify. If you phone is in a big case, make the over all height larger to accommodate you demand. This wall outlet cellphone holder can also support other micro usb charging phone with the correct cable. (USB to micro)

This year instead of sending Christmas Cards I decided to use my Makerbot to make something unique for my friends. And naturally the project took on a life of its own.

The final result was 20 Lego Men at 4x the normal size. Each inscribed with a holiday greeting.

Before dispatching them off to the world, I decided it would be nice to take all 20 brothers on a photographic tour of Kansas City.

Happy Holidays to all of the Thingiverse Community.

I'm going to run a ghetto power drop into my 'workshop' from a dedicated 15Amp outlet elsewhere in the house. I've got a heavy-duty extension cord I'm going to route through the attic, but where it dangles down from the ceiling I'd like it to look as neat as possible. To keep things organized I blended up this cable clip.

I thickened the connection in the 90 degree bend for strength. The mounting holes are designed for standard drywall screws and are counter-sunk.

Miniature hand drill.

I was in desperate need of a small chuck/hand drill to hold onto some 0.6/0.8/1.0mm drill bits to clean out some holes but couldn't find a place the sold them for a decent price. Holding and placing such small drill bits was a pain, so I quickly modeled and printed this as an emergency/temporary measure.

Works well enough but lots of areas that can be improved. Might make this parametric later...

I needed a bit bigger wine rack so I designed this little 10 or 11 bottle wine rack which does the job nicely. I made it out of 3mm MDF, but it would look better in a nicer material.

I'll put up some better pics once I make a new one under the laser cutter group on sharemake.com .

If you make one please post a pic and a comment. I would love to see one in Perspex!

Have a wall but no place to put your gadget?

I drew this globe in Corel Draw , the globe have 250mm diameter and consists of seven rings and twenty four stringers to fitting. I did the drawing to be cut in 4mm material. Remember, if you think about increase or decrease the drawing so you must use a material as thick as the rabbet is.
The result is a solid structure, it don´t need be glued.

Wall-mounted flyer holder for A6 flyers.
Designed to be laser-cut and snap-fit (no glue needed).

I wanted to promote my rocketry website ( ibuildrockets.com ) in a creative way - so I selected a V2 rocket and created a 2-part stand-up model with my URL along the edge.

The rocket is about 80mm high and 2.8mm thick. The two pieces fit onto a business-card size piece of Acrylic.

Pull those space invaders straight out of 1978 and print your own.

These are some Tetris (aka tetromino) cookie cutters drawn in Google Sketchup by a friend on IRC. We had some trouble converting them to STL, and the previews don't work in ReplicatorG but the objects do come out fine on the MakerBot.

Here are some miscellaneous toolholders that can be scaled to fit practically any tool.

I was in the market for something like this myself, and was looking around searching for toolholders. The problem however is that there ar alot more different sized tools than there are toolholders that match, so then you end up with something that just looks awful and doesnt fit 100% to anything.

So regarding this project the goal was to make many different shaped toolholders that could easily be customized to fit any tool.

And again a big thanks to the makerbot crew for the plastic that made this:)


(Just an FYI - Everyone of my toolholders are printed on my full size makerbottable makerbot thingiverse.com/thing:3285)

Just a bunch of regular polyhedrons hanging out doing normal things. Print out the whole series and it looks nice.

A small stand suitable useful for things like watching movies on the iPad. Made of three pieces of 1/4" (6mm) acrylic. The pieces friction-fit together and the stand can be quickly broken down and set up, so it's easy to toss in a bag.

The spacing of the stand legs is narrow enough to not get in the way of the dock connector, or the power button or volume buttons if the iPad is put in the stand upside down.

Feel free to add your own engraved logos or images to the side legs!
