This is a super simple keychain we print at events where we take our 3d printers to demonstrate the technology. These are quick to print an entire build plate and cheap to giveaway. A batch of 8 takes about 35 minutes and uses less than 5…
I printed out some 32mm darkfield filters for our Swift 380T microscope and I quickly realized we were going to need a good way of keeping them safe and clean. I noticed the customizable coin cell battery case and realized it would be…
Why a Sample Library? Many amazing models can be printed to showcase all of the fantastic features and properties of 3d printing materials. Still, they all have the same problem of taking up space when you no longer have any of the…
Work in progress This model is a work in progress. It is designed to print on a large print bed machine as it is 321x179. It may be possible to split this into multiple pieces but will require additional work to ensure the base can handle…
Keep those swim goggles from going to the landfill when one of the adjusters gets lost. The elastic used on these goggles is about 7.2 mm wide and around 1.0 mm thick, but this model should work with other similarly sized straps.

I got tired of opening the shared utensil drawer at work and almost cutting myself with the big knife, so I was inspired by the printables challenge to solve the problem. Simple, quick 3d print. I used PLA use whatever you have on hand.…
Use this simple device to help you position dye sublimation decorations on 11-ounce coffee mugs. Marked increments of 90 degrees, 45 degrees, and 22.5 degrees give you a lot of control in laying out your designs. Because the device…
We needed a model to show off the unique capabilities of additive manufacturing, but we couldn't wait for hours for a print, so I modified an existing design and scaled the Z height by 50%, then I added text to the perimeter. The black on…
I printed out our maniac badge and decided I wanted a nice way to display it so this is what I came up with. Doesn't include any printable badge, you have to earn that yourself.
This is a simple set of cases for the eyepieces on our Swift 380T microscope. They are marked WF10X and WF25X. These have a nice cover that keeps the dust off when they are in storage for a long time. I don't have the sizes written in the…
Simple caliper holders to mount to Slatwall. It can be printed at any resolution, I printed this at 0.55 mm layer height with a 0.8mm nozzle but any size should work.
Simple print. Use a dark opaque material. Designed for use with 38 mm OD barlow lenses.
This is a simple manipulative that shows how the Pythagorean Theorem can be proven using rearrangement. We start with a tray with a fixed internal area equal to (a+b) squared and four identical triangles with sides of length a, b and c.…
Are you setting up a Maker Space? Why buy tools when you can make many common tools using your new digital fabrication tools? I am actively involved in my local makerspace (www.makerspace307.org), and I know how quickly costs can add up…
As a makerspace director I like to use the best tool for the job, I also have to use the limited materials we have on hand. At the moment we have quite a few 4-oz tins that are often used for candels or DIY cosmetics/creams and I decided…
This simple pen holder was sculpted (somewhat poorly) in clay and then scanned using an Einscan Pro HD. Designed to be printed without supports. This design should be able to hold most pens and pencils.
Pattern cams for a Dressmaker 7000 sewing machine. May work with other models if they use the same pattern cam. Printing I suggest printing and with (4) wall loops to increase longevity of the cam. A metal arm rides on the cam and will…
Here is a quick source of small (6" x 6") sheets of material for a quick prototype if you can't get material locally or want to try forming a sheet from a specialty material. I prefer using a 0.8mm nozzle for quicker printing. But a sheet…
I have been looking at various random objects with our new microscope. I found that sometimes the items I want to look at are not suitable for mounting on slides (and we don't have any even if we wanted to mount some). So I decided to…
3D Printing Quick Start Tutorial When you first get a 3d printer of your own or start using one at a makerspace, it's easy to find many incredible 3d models to print. However, at some point, I contend that everyone needs to learn to…
This model is based on the work of David Smith, Joseph Myers, Chaim Goodman-Strauss and Craig S. Kaplan in their paper “An aperiodic monotile”. https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.10798v1
This is a simple replacement part for the interface between a hand crank and balance wheel on a vintage Singer sewing machine. The assembly I have is an inexpensive Chinese hand crank, so this part may not work on all hand crank…
When I designed my eyepiece cases I noticed that my USB microscope camera fit in the case so I redesigned the case to have only a single opening. This works with my Swift EP5R USB 2.0 camera. This case has no locking mechanism and is…
Cover the T-slot on your Avid CNC. These fit extremely tight, you may need to scale them so make sure to print a test before printing a full batch.
This is a quick, easy print that showcases manual color changes.
These are simple 100 mm calipers I designed for a class I am teaching at my local Maker Space ( http://www.MakerSpace307.org ). The calipers are made using both 3D printing and laser cutting. These calipers are very inexpensive. The total…
Simple SD Card adapter holder to mount to Slatwall. It can be printed in any resolution. I printed this at 0.55mm layer height with a 0.8mm nozzle.
Simple print in place chain. Print on a raft and let the students remove the static model making it dynamic. Supports are not needed.
