Icosahedral radiolaria
Thingiverse Import
This is a "radiolaria" sculpture roughly modeled on the drawings of Ernst Haeckel. It has simple icosahedral symmetry, with thirty "spines" radiating from the edges. --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34 Original creator: phooky

Filament Dust Remover
Thingiverse Import
Simple dust remover that fits over standard Makerbot Cupcake CNC Plastruder. Simply print and stick two pieces of Dish washing sponge cut to size with the soft part facing the filament and presto chang-o! Clean filament enters the extruder. You can also fill the sponge with your favorite oil compound for use with PLA. --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2000 Original creator: CidVilas

Isolated Media Pump
Thingiverse Import
Please note, I have NOT built one of these yet and you will need a HEATED BUILD PLATFORM to print this object.Here is a pump that can be used for liquid or air. A piece of 3/8" diameter surgical tubing is looped through the 2 holes on the left side of the pump base around a 4 point rotor that compresses the tubing pushing the liquid or air ahead. This technique isolates the material being pumped from the mechanism itself. The rotor design could be improved greatly by placing wheels at the end of each point pushing against the tubing.UPDATE on 05/31/10: The STL files below look like they need something 'added' in order for SkeinForge to generate the GCODE. I have spent days trying to figure out why and how to fix it. I thought an STL file was mostly a list of ASCII lines and did not realize centering and size info are not being saved to the files. --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2945 Original creator: ElectronicKit

Openscad Hook
Thingiverse Import
I needed a hook to go over the top of our shower enclosure to hold a washcloth.So, here it is. It's in openscad with some variables that you can adjust at the top.The STL and openscad files I uploaded are for my shower enclosure which has 3/8" thick glass. --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6047 Original creator: jag

PLA Packing Peanuts
Thingiverse Import
More of a test and showcase of an idea than any fancy new design; it doesn't get much simpler than this.Please go ahead and make larger sizes too. :)Until sensible packaging that's biodegradable or easy to recycle becomes more widespread, in a pinch you can fill out any gaps around packages you have for postage with these little cylinders.On output, they seem to be reasonably stiff, easily springing 1mm or so in diameter with a strong squeeze, and breakable at a few millimetres. They could be used to replace expanded polystyrene 'packing peanuts', whereever scrunched-up paper is too squishy.It might be a good idea to cut a small amount of the material out of the model to reduce stiffness even more.The cylinder included is 15mm long, with an ideal Inner Diameter of 9.5mm and OD 10mm, the resulting effect being that a 0.5mm extruder nozzle will draw a circle one-line-wide on each layer, which should shrink to be a loose fit around M8 bar/studding.This gives the part three simple purposes:Biodegradable packagingCircular print test/calibrationSpacers and/or protective sleeves for M8 fastenings --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10459 Original creator: 4ndy

Bezier Heart in OpenScad
Thingiverse Import
The question is, what good are Bezier curves?This thing is constructed from Bezier curves. It is actually inspired from some Processing code. It demonstrates how easy it is to translate from some graphics system that has Bezier support, to using the new Bezier functions within OpenScad.The Processing code came from here: http://www.local-guru.net/blog/2010/09/19/pulsating-heart-made-from-bezier-curves-in-processingThere are many heart things on Thingiverse as evidenced by this: http://www.thingiverse.com/tag:HeartSo, add one more to the list. Of course, this one is fully parametric, even in a math sense, so you can easily change the size, shape, height, whatever.And, on top of that, it's a simple example of how you can use the Bezier function to construct something simple. --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8483 Original creator: WilliamAAdams

Small Flower pot
Thingiverse Import
I started thinking about every day objects that we can just print out when we need them. So print and plant! --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7959 Original creator: codemanusa

Laser mount version 2
Thingiverse Import
Laser mount version 1 was fine but it would be nice to have a easy way of rotating it (the cap was a bit overkill). The solution was simple just print a hole through the holder. leaving enough roam for the bolt head or screw. Then you easily bolt it to whatever you like. This version has a hole for a diameter of 12 mm laser but the hole is a bit bigger now so it fits a bit betterI am using the M3 nuts and bolds from my makerbot set btw.Also include a image of my old laser mount having a 3d printer makes my life soo much better. O and and a shot of my primitive build of a 3d scanner with the new mount ;-). --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5708 Original creator: PieterBos

HBP Adjusters
Thingiverse Import
I designed this to make leveling my HBP a little easier. Once everything is installed the level can be adjusted very easily. The HBP can be installed or removed easily also. I have know idea if this will work on the ABP but should work on the acrylic platform. You have to use a 3 point leveling system though, 2 corner adjusters on the front and a straight one in the middle in the rear. If you put corner ones in the rear they may hit the Z rods, or any extensions such as Jetguys brass tube Z extenders. --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10180 Original creator: epideath

ROBOTIC ARM
Thingiverse Import
I've made a ROBOTIC ARM in autocad, it can move in any direction, rotate on itself and it has an hand to pick up and move objects.It is moved by five Futaba servos (futaba S3003), and I think it would be nice to interface them with an Arduino or a computer... --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2902 Original creator: Pieppo

Trautman Hook (OpenProsthetics)
Thingiverse Import
This is the Trautman Hook that was put in the public domain and can be found on http://openprosthetics.org/This is not as much an object that I hope people will be printing, I sincerely hope to call out to those those with designs skill, prototyping capacity and vision to collaboratively create innovative, useful and affordable prosthetic 'systems'. I hope that you will not limit your ideas to just the rapid prototyped parts but use all of your making experience. I hope this will be the start of a discussion of what the RepRap/Makerbot/BfB/etc. (and commercial RP/AM) community can do for for those who are unfortunate. I'm confident that we can exchange valuable ideas! Most of us have spare motors, controller boards and various other electronic and mechanical parts, moreover they are similar so we could reproduce each others' solutions including non-RP parts!Some questions for discussion:How do we make it fit perfectly? (e.g. 3D scanning a clay negative imprint, sparse structure against sweating, etc.)What would the ultimate prosthetic 2.0 (sorry for the buzz words!) that you can make for a low budget (e.g. 300 euro's) look like, given the collective tools, personal networks and knowledge that we have?Given that we have access to Arduino's (nano would be appropriate), encoders, servo's, accelerometers, gyro's, RFID chips (context aware prosthetics) and varous other tools.Can we make prosthetics cool (an not necessarily creepy at the same time). LED's, smooth organic shapes. Not all of us want to look like the Borg.Do we know amputees willing to try them and provide directions? (I do, for a lower arm amputee)RP parts as light weight sparse structures e.g. ready for fibre layup (composites, etc.). I know it seems much more daunting and serious than the mouse trap challenge that did so well and was a lot of fun. I hope you don't feel like it has to be done right at once and just try out a few things. Please do have fun and try out crazy ideas!How do we increase the contact surface to improve grip. Currently small contacts point will allow you to either crush or drop an object and hardly anything in between. Obviously, intricate structures with flexible parts can be made fairly easily with 3D printing.I don't intend to just replicate a discussion here while the Open Prosthetics community has their own group. So please get involved in the discussions there if you're interested!The image with the foosball table is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Army_prosthetic.jpg --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2194 Original creator: Erik
