I created a crack on the side top to reduce the print time and the material used, and to give it a unique look.
printed with:
Q3D three up
0.4 mm nozzle, PLA, 15% infill, 0.2mm layer thickness, no support material.

The Ikea VITTSJÖ is a rather nice little table, this said it's kind of rickety and provide an extremely poor work surface, so I made a few upgrades.

• The Corners and Ends printed in NinjaFlex to increase the overall stability of the table.
• The Table Top A/B printed in hard plastic to secure a wooden surface to the top

You will need two of each STL for a complete set.

VITTSJO-Corner.stl: I made provisions for a M3x12 socket screw and nut, to ensure it stays firmly in place over time.

( I'll also deal with my dirty windows eventually )

My desktop is always a mess, full of cables everywhere. I created this little cable holder hive. It is meant to be used with small cables, but you can always scale it. Enjoy.

UPDATE:

Since this item is far more popular than I expected I decided to upload 2 new versions for larger cables.

I believe medium size is the best choice.

Designed these fully print in place drawers that do not need supports and are captured.
I'm looking to grow the set and if anyone has requests please tip and send the requests my way.

I'm pretty sure this is the first 3d printed captured drawer system as well!

There is a pdf with the sizes of the labels, should be able to edit easily.

Happy printing.

This started as a 2 foot tall garden gnome at a store. I scanned it with my Sence 3d scanner then printed the stl with support.

Easy Peasy

Soft pla is a very good material to print. After the first experiments with the feed and flow rate on my mendel reprap, I found a working profile. Slow but strong.
Just for fun I tried to make a copy of a part of the belt around my x-axis. Because the soft pla has the same color - light grey - I had this idea.

OpenSCAD again proofed to be very good for things like that. I made a singe pattern of one tooth and the following gap and copied it 20 times.

The comparison to the original belt was stunning.

The next step was printing an endless belt. The design with openSCAD was a bit tricky, but I never stop learing commands.
For this I had to tweak the skeinforge profile a little, but the result was worth tuning: The belt is fitting.

I tested it with some mendel parts screwed together and fixed on my desk. The endless belt is around 380 mm - quite ok and not the maximum at all.
It is very though, but not tought enough - you can break it with brute force. But the elasticity is ok. It stretches about 2 mm (~0.5%) until it breaks.
Not comparable to the belts used in the reprap machines but more resistant than ever expected.

These are Sierpinski (pronounced sherpinski) tetrahedrons from order 0 to order 4. Each was derived from George Hart's original order 5 model (found at www.georgehart.com/rp/rp.html) by taking advantage of the self-similarity that characterizes fractals and simply removing successive layers. This was my very first adventure with Blender, otherwise I would have made the models scale invariant, as the iterative construction generally implies. I put these together because the original order 5 model is too empty to print when scaled to fit on the ABP. Interesting note: when the first layer composed of order 1 tetrahedrons is finished, the print is about half done, despite this only making up about 13% of the total height. Sincere thanks to George for freely providing such beautiful mathematical models!

Made for a "summer in Spain"-themed party. Enjoy!

This model is featured in figure 3.12 of Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing.

Video.
Stereographic projection is a map from the sphere to the plane: Imagine straight lines going from the north pole of the sphere down onto the plane. Each line hits the sphere in one point and the plane in one point. Stereographic projection maps that point on the sphere to the point on the plane.
If you put a light source at the north pole of this sculpture, the rays of light effectively do stereographic projection! The curves on the sphere cast shadows, mapping them to a straight line grid on the plane.
Stereographic projection is also available at Shapeways.

Update: added a version of the file with a wider base for easier printing.

Christmas decoration, hollow object to push the limits of your 3d printer with!

This Star Ornament is based on a small stellated dodecahedron. It's basically festive math.

Combine this piece with the Spaceship and Round MakerBot Ornaments, and sprinkle in a full set of the Snowflake Ornaments. Each is modeled with a hole for a string or hook. If you're feeling extra crafty, feel free to prime and paint these for a personal touch.

This is a four pack carrier for the beer bottle thing:5305.

Now I just need to print out some adhesive labels for the beer bottles.

For the Studio 360 and Makerbot Christmas challenge we created an object that stretches the extents of ornamentation to 100% of a given surface. My partner Ola and me are both students at Harvard Graduate School of Design. Thanks for running this competition! Noam and Ola

Add even more heft to move the center of gravity even more toward the base by pressing three M8 nuts into the inlets at the base of the figures.

Use some glue if the nuts sits not tight enough.

Edit 2013-11-19: Uploaded all files again. Some of them had errors and some of them were not the right files at all... sorry!

Its that time of year for gift giving, and what a better way to have/give an ornament from a 3D printer!

Playing around with subdivide technique

I would like to expand this idea, in the near future, and convert it to a lamp project; perhaps just adding a core in the middle part that can hold a lamp ...

Challenge Accepted!

So far here's the first of the 3 ornaments in the challenge banner.

3 parts, lock together, disassemble to pack flat.
