This contains all of the base parts for the printrbot in one tiny tray.

(Extruder, Gears & Clamps Sold Separately. ;) )

Full Tray Fits on a 7" x 6" Build Platform!

2 Smaller trays:
Tray 1of2: 4.7" x 4.5"
Tray 2of2: 4" x 4"

I had some trouble squeezing down tray 1 any smaller... Anyone with smaller then a 5" build platform will need to build Tray #1 on their own...

(Tray a #1 contains: 2 Base's, Bearing Guide & X Motor Mount)

I didn't find any Arduino MEGA 2560 (& RAMPS) mounting for the bars of a Prusa Mendel that I liked so....I made my own. I've been trying to get rid of all the wood on my Prusa Mendel (Makergear) and this was the last piece to replace. Hope someone finds the useful.

Features:

Simple design, but somewhat pretty
Has a side with holes (7mm apart) that can be used for accessories or to zip tie cables.
Can be installed anywhere, bar clamps are only on one side.
Somewhat parametric, you can change some stuff in the openSCAD.

Same as thingiverse.com/thing:14742 but for aluminum extrusion, like the MendleMax.

If you've done a lot of soldering lately, then you are familiar with using metallic brillo to clean the tip of your soldering iron. More efficient than a sponge or water, it's a quick and efficient means of cleaning the tip.

I gave away my holder last year, and sadly, Fry's has not carried replacements since. Frustrated after a year, I created my own simplified version.

Thank you to Padawan for the great assist and patience on 8 revisions, for something so simple.

This is the real deal, no derivatives here. These are the real Printrbot in it's current version. I have a bunch of these printing all day, every day.... it works. It is expandable to larger widths and heights easier than any other reprap out there. Period. Its the most inexpensive bot out there being mass produced. And, its now yours to print, build, improve, change.... whatever you like. I can't wait to see what you do with it. I will post pics of all the various forms it takes, news, etc at printrbot.com

I've found that the x idler pulley tends to ride up against the top y carriage wood. This creates noise and other problems.

There are bearing and belt holders and all manner of x axis improvements but I've yet to see one to fix this. The idler rides up due to the belt being pulled up to mesh with the x carriage belt teeth.

My solution is to customise the teethes position to match the belts natural path.

This is based off of Joakim's x follower openSCAD file so it can match its customization for a perfect x axis sliding action, print his and mine as they replace 2 separate parts.

All comments and suggestions welcomed, heck just comment

A funky tealight holder

This is just a simple design that can be used for a number of things. Most commonly the commercial equivalent of this is used to blow air or liquid over tools on CNC machines, drill presses, etc. I am thinking of using it as an articulated arm to hold camera flashes off-camera and run wires through the center. Anything is possible.

Feel free to post up modifications, as this is tweaked to the fraction of a millimeter for my specific machine to be exactly as tight as I wanted them to be.

Note: I break a few here and there when putting them together. This is to be expected, and possibly thickening up the "neck" would fix this. I print 3 x 2 using multiply so this isn't a huge deal to break one every now and then.

EDIT: I uploaded all three resolutions. The highest is what made the links in the picture, but you may have similar luck with the other two resolutions. Thanks!

I started out simply wanting to print a giant bread tag for a friend. Little did I know that an entire taxonomy exists for the parasitoids known as Occlupanid (Occlu = to close, pan = bread).

The most thorough research into these organisms has been conducted by the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group - horg.com/horg. Their work was even used in the report "Plastic bag clip discovered in partial colectomy accompanying proposal for phylogenic plastic bag clip classification" published in the BMJ Case Reports journal: casereports.bmj.com/content/2011/bcr.02.2011.3869.abstract.

While the SCAD file is parametric so far I have only designed (bred?) one example of the Toxodenta (curved teeth) order, based on an example I found in the wild which appears to conform to the classification of Palpatophora utiliformis - horg.com/horg/Palpatophora_utiliformis.htm.

I intend to extend the SCAD file to include examples of species from each order. I also encourage people to create their own variations and mutations. Let's see if we can get these creatures to evolve into something new! ;-)

Say hello to Mikey - my first 3dprint design with Moi3d. If there was more time i'd have added additional gear. Right now it's just his glasses ^^. The final printfile does not have the rounded corners you see in the screenies due to printability. The file contains stl and stp BTW.

He won an awesome award from maker industries ^^

Two OpenSCAD here, one is an evolution of thing 17083 (flat bracelet) and the other adds the texture (knurls in this case).

The inner sizes of the bracelet are 50mm x 60mm and some 32mm tall, the opening is 20mm.

A leaf spring frame.
Maybe useful for a 4x4 model

Deck out the top floor of your Makerbot Rocket with this three piece set - it has everything you need to guide your mission to the moon.

For the steering console, chairs, and the rest of the series, check out my other things: thingiverse.com/PrettySmallThings

A locker for your storage needs in outer space. 1:18 scale, designed for the Makerbot Rocket Ship Playset.

This is one of the original dualstrusion files for the experimental dual MK7, modified from Belakor's design by MakerBot intern Will Langford.

Pretty simple kids toy. Attach a balloon and watch it scoot across the floor! (Sorry, some extra parts required)

No, not that kind of pot. The kind you grow things IN! This hydroponics pot has a grid at the bottom to hold growing medium (perlite, vermiculite,pummice, clay beads etc.) in. If the plant's roots take control of the pot, these ones are made of Diamond Age Solutions' Ivory PLA so the whole lot can go in the compost bin when the growing season is over!

Need many bones for the many polygons.

One is not enough. Need lots. This is just a handful of them for simplified printing in bulk.

Original project idea was inspired by TheMechatronicsGuy.

In my previous derivative of Rasle500's great design I just made a longer handle.

This thing make that handle empty, adds some threads an introduces a cap to be bolted in those threads.

Now you have a handle that is also an storage box!

Set of planetary gears and arms to hold the planet gears in place.

Based off OpenSCAD code from thing:7390 (after cutting out significant portions of it - because the original thing is much more than a toy).

The gear ratios are very interesting, and (at least at first) non-intuitive, depending on the part that is held stationary.

With a fixed Annulus or Sun, this gives 1:6.
With a fixed Planet carrier, this gives 1:5.

This is an implementation of Nikola Tesla's "Valvular Conduit" that acts as a one-way-valve without any moving parts.

blog.makezine.com/2012/01/05/the-tesla-valve-one-way-flow-with-no-moving-parts/

This implementation follows Tesla's patent diagrams, perhaps too closely. It works, but the cap is a bit leaky so I plan to re-design it in the future.

A handfull of collets for things 16682 and/or 16890 !

The ZIP file contains 48 STL to accomodate the drill bits I use the most.

As you can see, there's also collets for hex bits, size 6.25mm face to face.

They work fairly well, check out the pic with the piece of wood, it's a 15mm thick piece of oak and I have been able to go through it with the 1mm bit ! yes, it took me a while ;-)

This is a concept that I came up with when I wanted to design my own bookmark. I'm an avid reader and resorted to using Post-It notes to bookmark my novels and textbooks. After a while I realized that it was a very practical approach, but not at all aesthetically pleasing to the eye. So given my innate desire to design and create, I knew that the only sensible thing to do was to design my own product, one that could not be purchased at a bookstore or ordered online. I wanted authenticity.

It had to be functional yet elegant, simple yet creative. And after some initial design sketches, I finally came up with the Tree Origins bookmark. As seen in the item picture, it is designed to resemble a tree in an abstract way. Although seemingly organic in its shape, the geometry is actually quite symmetrical. The disparate nature of its design is what makes the idea work.

I produce this bookmark using a flexible and resilient high-gloss PVC plastic material.The flexible property enables it to easily 'squeeze' pages together to produce a firm hold.

If you like the design, please spread the love =)

Have an iPad or iPad 2? Or perhaps a tablet PC that you love to carry around but lack the hardware to keep it upright when surfing the web or reading an e-book? Look no further! This elegantly designed tablet stand is the ideal solution.

The simplicity of its design gains inspiration from three identically-sized spheres that encircle a central sphere to produce a sturdy stand. The material is made out of durable ivory-gloss polyurethane with soft rubber protrusions that act as "grips" to keep your iPad or tablet PC in place.

The set comes with two sphericals that can be positioned anywhere on the tablet's base in either the vertical or horizontal position, whichever best suites your needs.

This is the STL file for a front plate for a 4.3" LCD display. I've been working on a proof of concept touchscreen replacement for the Gen4 Interface Board.

You can see the video here dl.dropbox.com/u/6717742/Gen4Touchscreen.m4v

The video shows Jetty's firmware thingiverse.com/thing:15380 , but will work with the original or future firmware written to support the original Gen4 Interface Board.
