Couldn't find any nice ukulele stands here. So I made one myself. The original size fits for a frame height of 83 mm (Tenor-Ukulele).

I liked the design of kingpop's nesting magnetic measuring spoons, but I already had some 1/8"x1/16" magnets on hand and wanted to use them, so I redrew them in OpenSCAD. There are a few differences to the original:

The spoon bowls nest concentrically.
The bowls are placed with their centers equidistant from the center of the handle, instead of at the end of equal length arms.
The bowl volumes are mathematically accurate.
The default arm lengths are shorter than the originals.
To nest, the center of the handle bump for the large spoon is lowered. I think in the original, the center of the handle bump for the small spoon is raised.
There are no markings.

Most dimensions are customizable.

As in the original version, there are two spoons, one with Tbsp and Tsp, and the other with half tsp and quarter tsp measures.

A lamp to assemble!

I made a stand for the Plot Clock. It also has an Arduino and battery mount so you can sit it on your desk and play with it. Or take it with you and show it off ;)

Although this little fish likes to dress itself up with spikes to look more formidable, you can mix and match with the different pieces from the Ogosport page. You could add wings, flames, swords, or whatever else you want!

The OGOBILD attachments are interchangeable, safe, and functional toys you can use to create anything you can imagine. Now you can download, modify, and print out your own custom pieces.

This is a fairly accurate 1/10 scale model of Honda's early 1980s folding scooter, the Motocompo. There's already plastic model kit versions out there, and a papercraft version (which I've built), but they tend to accomplish the folding by having you take parts off, then put them back in the "folded" position. Good excuse to play with designing things that print with built-in joints!

The papercraft version can be found here http://www.ne.jp/asahi/paper-m/yasu/2art_motor-c/e_motoco.htm , you may notice it inspired my seat folding mechanism.

This case is a remix of many cases all at once.

I've picked the best ideas I found around and merged them into one single case. This case has thicker walls and as such, it does not flex like most of the cases you can find on thingiverse.

I've made many fine adjustments, and added the use of screws to secure the case against tampering.

There is also a door mat for the SD card that protects it from accidental pull or bend.

The Raspberry Pi inside the case is a B model with 2011,12 markings next to the Pi logo.

Here's my take on the 3D printed birdhouse.

Included on the first tab in Customizer are 6 prebuilt birdhouse designs, each designed to be the "dream home" for a specific bird. I've also included the ability to add a text label to the front of each house (do birds have addresses?). Additionally all of my birdhouse designs incorporate venting to keep our fine feathered friends nice and comfortable (birds get hot too you know) which was suggested online.

I used this document to create houses at appropriate dimensions for whatever kind of bird you're trying to house. You can read more about birdhouse building guidelines here:

http://www.birdsandblooms.com/Backyard-Projects/Birdhouses/Birdhouse-Guidelines/

On the "Custom" tab in Customizer you will find sliders that allow you to create a totally customized living arrangements for your feathered friends.

With my partner, I'm building a tiny museum called The Mμseum. We wanted to have a track lighting system similar to what one would find in a full-size museum. This lets the curator light pieces individually to help set off works in different ways. Each spot light is posable and has a can to create a crisp light cone.

This is a miniature track lighting system using standard through-hole 6mm LEDs as the light sources. The tracks themselves are simply stiff wires that run in parallel along the ceiling, holding the lights in place with magnets. This is designed to have 5V 1A rails and can support up to 25 LED spot lights.

Note: the notch to mark the polarity shown in the photos is inverted from the files here. After creating the photographed ones, I realized that it'd make more sense to publish with the notches matching that of LEDs (marking the negative/cathode instead of the anode).

The source files of the openSCAD files are in the The Mµseum git repository

So, what with the holidays coming up, I've been working (as most of you with 3D printers) to make special gifts for friends and family. Seeing how everyone around me seems to be having kids, I figured I'd try to design some baby-safe toys that print in one piece and don't require any glue (see instructions).

I'm really enjoying working on these, so you might expect more in the near future. Like... a lot more.

This is XYZ Workshop's winning entry into the MyMiniFactory chess and Pen design competition.

The design is loosely based on a Bauhaus Style Chess set. We were interested in blending the simple strong geometric forms of the chess pieces with nature. The chess pieces allows nature lovers to integrate their favorite succulents or herbs into their game play.

Each Chess piece can be planted with specific herbs or succulents to give them a level of individuality and personality. This also allows the player to assign unique textures, colors and smell to the pieces. Use some Corsican Mint to bring some minty freshness into you game, or perhaps a series of hard wearing cacti if you don't have a green thumb.

We have also included a printable/portable chess board skin, measuring only 0.6mm thick. Printing four of these allows the player to turn any flat surface into their chessboard. Make this Green Chess set a feature in your garden, or bring the garden into your living room.

Rather than spend time printing springs for a project, I made this little mold to make them out of raw 3mm PLA filament. It measures 3/4" by 3" tall. Since there are no shear planes in this twisted filament, the springs it creates will be a lot tougher than anything printed.

I think this concept could be used to produce torsion springs as well as conical compression springs with different molds.

If you wrapped the filament around a dowel with the sides of the filament touching, you could make an extension spring instead of a compression spring.

This is a fully functional Trebuchet catapult model that measures a whopping 220x140x130mm. The Trebuchet is one of the most powerful and accurate catapults and it was king of the siege-engines during the Middle Ages. This is a simplified model suitable for 3d printing and it still operates under the same principles as the true originals, and can fling payloads a good distance.

This extruder upgrade for the Replicator 2 replaces the Delrin plunger with a pinch roller. Using the spring specified in the parts list below, this pinch roller provides about 60N of force on the filament, which provides enough driving pressure on the filament, in combination with the stepper drive gear to prevent stripping.

Unlike other designs, this one uses a pin style bush on which the pinch arm rotates. This provides a large lower friction surface for the pinch wheel arm to rotate on, and allows the mounting screw to be fully tightened so there is no chance of it working loose.

I have extensively tested this design, which has evolved through numerous iterations, and I have also tested several different springs. With the specified spring I can hold the drive gear with my thumb and pull hard on the filament without it stripping, and its done numerous unattended prints with troublesome clear PLA filament - so I can confidently say it works.

UPDATE (Mar 4th 2013)

In v7 I have added a filament guide slot to the bottom of the backing plate. I added a spring channel to hold the spring in place and stiffen the backing plate. I redesigned the arm geometry to make it pivot better - compressed and uncompressed. I altered the pin so one side now holds the base plate down against the stepper motor.

This extruder upgrade was designed using an ACIS solid in Shark FX/ViaCAD (vc3 file included) so will behave well with Makerware, ReplicatorG and skeinforge. There are also STEP files that can be imported into other CAD programs.

A posable action figure robot with flashing electronic eyes! This is a fun multi-media project seen in the December 2012 issue of WIRED.

Here's how it works:
Buy the necessary electronic components from RadioShack (grab a copy of WIRED to learn more!), download and make the parts listed below, and go find a standard bubble capsule from a coin-operated vending machine for the dome.

A mold to create as many maze bolts as you like. It is best to use some flexible material, so don't have any problems with undercuts.

There's already tons of Pen Holders on Thingiverse, but I wanted to have one with some organic touch to it.

Thanks Thingiverse for featuring it on August 15, 2013!

OK, brand new 8x45.obj and 8x45.x3g files which definitely works in makerware. Sorry for the issues. Good to go now though. These are 8x4.5 props modelled on the ones found on the witespy quad page.
