Just another vertical laptop stand... but this one has a flexible hinge at the bottom that adjusts to the thickness of your laptop. Nothing screams "I'm a maker" louder than this simple piece of 3D printed plastic. The thin layer in the…
Recommended print settings: Material: PETG Layer Height: 0.20 Infill % : 15 Supports: No Print Orientation: Default as modeled. As seen on Jelle Romers video: And article:…
These combs are designed to be zip-tied or hot-glued to wire shelf decking, I'm sure they will fit into other spaces as well. I'm hoping the flexure makes them work decently for cat5e as well. Design considerations/quirks The outer…
This is an XY Translation stage that uses mutually compensating flexures to create "perfect" planar translational movement. In a perfect world, no rotation or Z-Movement would sneak in (but a little does). These stages have a +- 14mm…
Fully printed, no assembly, print-in-place fin ray grippers, printed with plain PETG, no TPU flexible filament needed. The connectors are compatible with fischertechnik. The grippers' angle is 16°, so that you can use two Winkelsteine 7.5…
Summary Cross-axis flexure pivots are created by crossing flexures and connecting them with rigid segments at their ends, allowing the opposite ends to rotate relative to each other. Cross-axis flexure pivots can replace pin joints in…
A take on the fractal vise utilizing flexures in place of the bearings for the rotations. I've got a running article on the various versions here , and the models for this one and V5 are on OnShape here . This rev is essentially just a…
I tried to make it ergonomic to hold, feel free to remix with improvements. All parts are already oriented for printing. The tolerances are pretty generous so with some printers you may want to add positive horizontal expansion if the…
printable version of a slik clip, allows easy attachment + removal of webbing. onshape link . samples in photo printed in polymaker ASA on a p1p w/ a 0.8mm nozzle for strength. cover is the clip lifting ~30lbs. from testing i'd estimate…
Full credit: this remix is based on a Brigham Young University Compliant Mechanisms Research (BYU_CMR) Group design posted on Thingiverse. Check out their user page on Thingiverse for other great compliant mechanisms. I remixed the design…
This mod replaces the GE5C spherical bearings used in a Voron Trident with printed flexures. After having issues with excessive vertical play while using low-cost spherical bearings, I developed these as a more reliable option. Each…

This is a simple snap-on base for the Spherical flexure joints "Tetra 1" model. No screws needed.
After seeing a comment for THIS xy linear guide asking to add holes, and then printing it out for myself, I decided to replace the center “+” with a 5mm hole to allow a pen/pencil to be inserted into. Now you can draw out the path this…
I've been playing around with ideas for making a 3d printable fractal vise where the rotational degrees of freedom rely on flexures instead of the bearing surfaces. To test these out, I started making these fellas that slide on to my…
OpenFlexure Microscope v7 Protective Cover Dust cover that fits the OpenFlexure version 7. Prints with no support, no assembly, slides and locks into place. There is a version with the front tab and a version without depending on what you…
This is part of the research for The μRepRap micron scale 3D printer project RepRapMicron . It has now been superseded for that purpose by a Block stage version https://www.printables.com/model/876888 , but is still interesting in its own…
The spherical flexure joint is very intriguing, yet the model did not include any mounting bases. I created a few different ones so the model can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Printed in PETG, although almost any material will…
The Flexure Fractal Vise Jaws by @BubsBuilds is pretty neat and functional. I wanted some soft grippy booties to protect delicate parts from scratches. It prints without fuss as is with SainSmart TPU . If you want a tighter or looser fit,…
You should scale it up so that two wall lines are used for the blade for it to print reliably. This is just a test bearing and not intended for any real application. As seen here: Or also here:…
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cR8rr35qsSA A basic component for unusual movable structures.
These are the 3d printed files for my DIY ballbar seen in the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbM0I1bafhM STEP files are ready to be sliced. Print them in PETG. BOM: 16mm ballbearings 10x3mm Neodymium Magnets Webcam:…
This is the Trigger used in the Flir E# series thermal guns. Sometimes these break and leave a sad thermal imager. This is the exact cloned trigger lever cloned with a caliper. Enjoy!

This is an iteration on my “Bookbind Hinge” flexure I developed. I noted that the flexure restricted motion in several directions and realized that more than two instances could restrict all but linear movement. This model is a…
It is quite possible to use a similar approach to strengthen the fastening of cables. A variety of flexible snakes, dragons and other bending figures.
this is a flexure box that I designed, I am still new to compliance so it does not work very well.
You can use filamentous trimmings or glue to assemble the parts. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cR8rr35qsSA
This is a project in the early stages of development. Do feel free to join in and/or ask questions, but at this stage it is definitely not for beginners! I have posted the files here so that others can join in with the project. We're not…
Note The probe arm assembly has been replaced with the much more accurate Mk 2 design . The endstops are still good, however. Overview These are for turning an OpenFlexure Delta Microscope Stage into a very small 3-axis CNC device.…
These monolithic flexure tweezers were designed in OpenSCAD using fully parametric modeling and printed in PLA. The mechanism relies on integrated flexures that enable smooth opening and closing without hinges, screws, or mechanical…
