This is pretty basic and probably has too many holes but it kinda works, so here it is. Tips for printing: I had better luck with flexible PLA than with TPU, mostly due to stringing. I'd really like to print it thinner, but I needed 3…
I recently visited the small Great Lakes Children's Museum in Traverse City, Michigan with my daughter. They had a simple and elegant installation made by Tom Egan that captivated all the kids and adults there. I've always geeked out over…
You can print both pieces at the same time using a modifier to turn on the top layers after the first three layers of both halves print with only infill and perimeters. An M3 bolt and locknut hold the two layers together very precisely so…
I designed this part a few months ago for a friend's aunt. Office furniture is kind of a big deal where I live and it is fair to say the chair was made locally. So, it was only right to fix it locally as well. As you can see in the…
Requires three NL-8H (8mm) ball transfer units (BTU) like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081QKS4S2 If you don't have a spare trackball ball to pop into it, one of these should work:…
This is an experiment still in progress. These are meant to be printed with no top or bottom layers and 50% honeycomb infill. I also printed them with fuzzy skin to add surface area for bacterial growth. I used a food-safe…
I designed this a couple months ago so my daughter could have an activity tray that attached easily to her wheelchair arms. It uses a dozen 60 x 10 x 3 mm Neodymium bar magnets and a 12" x 16" food service tray. We don't use it a lot at…
I've been experimenting with different combinations of cube size and infill percentage in search of the perfect 95A TPU stress cube. This 2"/50.8mm cube at 14% is the best combination I've found that doesn't leave any of the infill…
I've been experimenting with flexible PLA and testing ideas for printable fabric. This simple concept is the most successful I've come up with so far. The idea was simply to give a “square” longer sides than it needs to be a square, hence…
This is a design for creating a mini-PC intended to run the Serene Screen Marine Aquarium screensaver in an aquarium-like enclosure. For more details, please read the piece I wrote about it on Hot Hardware . Print Settings Printer Brand:…
Ten years ago, I saw this article about a balloon-powered torpedo and have always wanted to test it out for myself. I really liked the idea of the acceleration not only coming from the volume of water contained in the balloon but also the…
A giant whiner had my previous model taken down, so this is a reupload with more sizes. Use them with 8mm x 4mm magnets.
An exercise in minimum effort for maximum effect. This method just needs two color swaps and a 0.2mm tall (thinner if you dare) modifier slab that removes just the first bottom layer of the print, leaving only the infill and the…
I printed this with literally the last few grams of a wood filament that isn't for sale anymore (the same one I used for this model ). However, any dual or triple color filament would probably still look cool. Just make sure you print it…
These are all currently available results.
