            <title>Snap-In Mendel Filament Guide, with diagonal slot</title>
            <link>http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11521</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11521"><img src="http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/e6/53/2f/73/5c/filament_guide_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/></div><div>Many of the filament guides I've seen require either more vitamins (bolts/nuts/rods), or the removal of the frame nuts for installation. I had a heck of a time squaring and tightening my frame, so I didn't want to have to take it apart again.<br />
<br />
This filament guide is a snap-in one designed for the pitch of the threaded rods on the original Mendel (58.89mm). I don't know if the Prusa has a different pitch, but this guide should work even if it is up to about 5-7mm narrower than the Mendel (obviously wider won't work so well without modification).<br />
<br />
I printed one out of PLA and it snaps in nice and snug. ABS may have different stiffness.<br />
<br />
I also used the diagonal slot idea from fil's thing <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11222" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">thingiverse.com/thing:11222</a>, but I moved it around to the top like he suggested so that the guide can be installed "either way".

            <title>Heavy duty filament spool, spindle for Mendel with filament guide.</title>
            <link>http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12836</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12836"><img src="http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/79/45/14/a7/42/IMGP0410_cr_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/></div><div>This is a mash-up of the spindle from "Heavy duty filament spool - for mendel by watsdesign" (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11447) and  "Snap-In Mendel Filament Guide, with diagonal slot by toomanyplugs" (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11521)<br />
<br />
I needed a filament guide after printing the heavy duty spool, I seemed to me that I would be even better if the parts were combined.<br />
<br />
Since both source files were in different formats I combined the stl's in openSCAD. The edges may be a little rough where I had to clean off the protruding edges.

<br />
Changes:<br />
<br />
Added webbing to arms for strength.<br />
Modified dovetails for better fit (the original required a lot of sanding to get to fit well - for me).<br />
Increased arm thickness for strength.<br />
Increased mount size for strength and more solid connection to MakerBot.<br />
Changed geometry of birdmouth slightly.<br />
Increased size of filament holder so that more filament could be wound on spool.<br />
Added hole in the filament holder.<br />
Beefed up the filament clip on the filament holder.<br />
Enlarged the conical pieces that press fit into the arm for more secure fit.<br />
Added a filament guide for use with Cupcakes.<br />

added shoulders so head of screws would not ride on back of spool.<br />

This was done by my 10yr old, who knows sketchup better than I do, in about 5minutes

<br />
The DC motor clip should be pretty handy-- the motor it's for is common and cheap, so this geometry should make a decent starting place for simple (non-geared) robot applications and other things.

Version 1.0 is the first one. It works and it is 3D printable, but the design should be improved in order to obtain a better printing quality.<br />

<br />
Works but it requires a little more super glue than I would have liked. <br />
<br />
It was designed to be a PCB holder (the one Lady Ada uses in her instructions was the inspiration).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ladyada.net/images/usbtinyisp/tools.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ladyada.net/images/usbtinyisp/tools.jpg</a><br />
<br />
The base is too small making it unstable.<br />
<br />
However I just finished printing it and it works! <br />
<br />
To make it you will also need.<br />
<br />
3/8 (5mm will do as well) threaded rod and some square nuts. <br />
Square brass tubing ( 3.9 mm ) and the size that fits just inside that.<br />
<br />
Needs some more work:<br />
<br />
Bigger base , maybe multipart<br />
Better way to hold the clamps<br />
<br />
The tar file contains the blend , photos and all the stl files.<br />

            <title>Pub Height Dining Table - 3-axis CNC router</title>
            <link>http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:686</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:686"><img src="http://thingiverse_beta.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/80/7e/d1/8e/56/TG2_0998_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/></div><div>This 43" tall, 46" square dining table assembles with no hardware or glue.  It is incredibly sturdy.<br />
<br />
The table is square because it promotes better community with no one placed at the head of the table and everyone equidistant, allowing for better conversation.<br />
<br />
The table takes 2 4"X8" sheets of 18mm plywood.  Most cabinet grade plywood from Home Depot is 18mm and inexpensive. The one in my home is made from high grade birch ply.<br />
<br />
Please check out <a href="http://www.jeffreymatthias.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">jeffreymatthias.com</a> to see some of my other work.<br />
<br />
Someday, I will alter the design to allow for an expanding top to accommodate 8 people.<br />
<br />
I've added a photo of it in our home for an idea of how big it is.
