Ornamental cloud, can be used for example as as a brooch.

I decided to start Awesome August off with an awesome bracelet.

This thing has a lot going on. It may look like an ordinary bracelet but you see all those holes? Yep.... exactly the size to pop and LED in. Where does the power come from you ask? How about a coin cell battery embedded within one of the modular pieces (a captive print!). Memory wire connects everything together giving it a perfect springy feel.

This thing was a lot harder to get together than I thought it would be and turned out to be a whole weekend project. The trickiest part to figure out was what material to connect them with. I tried everything from string, stranded wire, magnets and even conductive thread. The memory wire works great. Although I'm still not perfectly happy with the on/off functionality or the joining of the two ends, I hear you can buy endcaps that seem like they would solve the problem.

Now that I've iterated through a bunch of materials and ideas though they're pretty easy to build and work well.

I want to start seeing some people rock out with Makerbot made accessories!

Two part hollow. Try this first. Modified to build from back so there are no overhangs.

edit: fixed by hoeken to make it printable.

Generic Skull
The curves seem to be gentle enough to print on a Cupcake CNC by MakerBot Industries. Gah...I want a working Cupcake CNC already! Soon. :)

Update: I split this in Skeinforge and there are a few parts on the upper jaw which hang just a bit. This is the only part that may not print properly. The rest of the skull should "in theory" work.

This is a first attempt to make a printable lung model for educational purposes.
* It has several bifurcations (7)
* It is hollow.
* It is about 12cm high (tallest I printed so far)

It also looks like the beginning of a tree, perhaps I could grow some plants in it...
And I guess it would make a nice fountain too. :-)

A calling card with working planetary gears. Astound your friends, frustrate your nemisii.

(Update: I've moved the gears slightly to the right, reducing the number of cut parts to assemble.)

This is a slot-together model of the first stellation of a dodecahedron. The slot sizes are appropriate for "172" illustration board, but you can scale the pieces to construct this model out of other materials.

This encoder is made for the RepRap project, but it can be used for any project where you wish to determine angle or rotational speeds. The encoder on the extruder is an important step towards better 3D print quality (constant plastic flow rates).

This is a "radiolaria" sculpture roughly modeled on the drawings of Ernst Haeckel. It has simple icosahedral symmetry, with thirty "spines" radiating from the edges.

I made these for fathers day a while back (printed out my dad's name) but they actually came out really well. They have a nice sound and feel to them. Since then I've just been printing out random letters and rediscovering the joy of playing with blocks.

**Just uploaded the whole alphabet. Enjoy :)
I've just been designing the letters as I need them but if you have a specific request just let me know. (I haven't quite worked out how to make parametric models easy to share)

I created this design while learning how to use my laser, it's a good simple project that creates 35, 1.2in hex pieces that can be pushed together to make abstract sculptures. They make a great desk toy or gift because you can engrave a custom logo or name on each piece to make them truly unique. I'll be giving several sets out this Christmas.

This pattern creates about 35 pieces, and the only material you'll need is a 8x8in piece of plexiglas, which I've been able to regularly find at my local home improvement store for $1.50.

35 pieces is enough to build a 6 inch sphere, or a large abstract object. When I was giving these out as promotional items, I gave them out 7 at a time which is enough to be interesting, but only costs $0.30 in material.

This toy is not intended for young children, the edges are mildly sharp and could possibly be a choked on.

I've also included the flash file which I drew this design in. I have a lot of experience in flash so I'm sticking to what I know for now.

12 5-sided polygons that fit together to form a dodecahedron. This is probably the smallest buckyball that you could realistically make. There a solid version, and a "wired version", which is way way easier to put together. This is to mess with you geometry-lovers out there.
