RepRap Y-carriage Igus bushing holders

Thingiverse Import

I got tired of breaking off the fiddly grippers on Josef Prusa's Igus-bushing-compatible Y-carriage bushing holders, so I beefed them up to be simple holes more suitable for press-fit Igus bushings (which you can get at techpaladin.com). Now there's no way you'll break them, and they hold the bushings more securely, too. If you find the holes too small to fit your bushings, you may need to ream them a bit.I've uploaded the .scad files that I modified to make these parts. They may have additional dependencies, but you should be able to grab those from Josef Prusa's github at github.com/prusajr/PrusaMendel/tree/master/sourceIf you use Igus bushings, you may be interested in my Igus bushing-compatible X-carriage:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14530â€¦And X-ends:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14494 --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14593 Original creator: Pointedstick

Minimug

Thingiverse Import

The minimug is the standard RepRap test object. A small, shot glass sized cylinder that hopefully gets printed as a watertight part which you can toast with. --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:36 Original creator: hoeken

T2.5 Motor Pulley

Thingiverse Import

A standard motor pulley for T2.5 belts. 16 teeth, so works as a drop-in replacement for a 8-tooth T5 pulley.Some say that this part is a vitamin, but I didn't believe them.I printed this with 0.35 nozzle, 0.20 layers, 0.36 tracks and 10 secs per layer, with PLA. --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16491 Original creator: ttsalo

Latch

Thingiverse Import

A small latch to lock rooms from inside, like a bathroom. The gears use the involute gears http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5505 . The bolt travels for 2cm. I tried to make the openscad script configurable for the thickness of the bolt. This will be quite usefull, because after taking the picture I destroyed it while testing. --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8218 Original creator: loonix23

Collar Stays

Thingiverse Import

A simple plastic insert to keep the collars of nice shirts sharp. You can find plastic ones in stores for something like $10 for a pack of 24. But seriously, is there anything more annoying to go out and spend money on? Never again... http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickstarno/5412347284/in/pool-makerbot/ --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6032 Original creator: Starno

Cube in Sphere

Thingiverse Import

This may not be a new invention, but I've never seen it before. It's a cube trapped inside a sphere (ball), and prints well. Just for your information, the opposite corners of the cube are the same dimension as the outside radius of the sphere.I printed this in the same scale as presented here, and did so with full support enabled. I also printed it without the base structure you see here in these files. I also printed it with no rafting, since I was doing full interior & exterior support. It turned out OK, but took awhile to clean up even with a new Xacto knife blade (and I'm pretty crafty when it comes to using my hands). --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14878 Original creator: clintkc

Modular Snap Blocks

Thingiverse Import

This is a set of plastic snap-together blocks that was designed for a prototype universal constructor. You can see a simulation of a robot made from the blocks here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LumLzSQE5VwYou can get more info on the strengths and weaknesses of the actual physical plastic blocks here http://www.molecularassembler.com/KSRM/3.18.htm --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:978 Original creator: mattmoses

Bachmann Klein Bottle

Thingiverse Import

While it's not the usual representation, it's topologically equivalent! (And almost fits on your finger too!)Made as a statement to the other Klein Bottles on Thingiverse that there are formulas for these things which aren't quite as rotund. I originally planned to have the Klein Bottle itself on here but realized that(1) it's a surface, which would require it to be thickened, which is something Mathematica doesn't to on export (plus inside-outside problem)(2) Skeinforge might throw up on the self-intersections.So for now, Thingiverse has to be content with its short Klein bottles and this... bracelet? --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12359 Original creator: Nbickford

Remote Control Makerbot

Thingiverse Import

A Thing Rube Goldberg would probably be proud of.This originally started out as just a camera to be able to watch my Cupcake while it printed from another room and grew from there. After getting an automated build platform I got an idea..Adding an Arduino Mega with and an ethernet shield, the webcam gained pan/tilt and the Cupcake got the ability to be turned on/off/reset remotely.Revar's keypad, 16 optocouplers, a second display for the keypad and another arduino later and I got even more control over the bot.Then I included a Mac Mini. A webserver, Applescript and RepG later and I was able to upload STL's and automatically convert them to s3g for the bot.Then I thought to myself why not automatically move the s3g file directly to the Cupcakes SD card? Electrically switching the contacts didn't work as the wires were too long. Then a wise guy at work joked about using a robot arm to move the card from one slot to the other...The end result is an over the top system that allows me to print completely remotely.The MacMini hosts the web pages through which all remote control is done. When an STL file is uploaded, it is picked up by OSX folder actions and passed to the Applescript to start the conversion. This is also the trigger for the robot arm to pickup the SD card from the Makerbot motherboard and move it to the MacMini's SD card reader. Once the STL is converted to a s3g and saved on the SD card the arm is then triggered again and the card moved back to the Makerbot motherboard.The print can then be started using the virtual version of Revar's keypad.Video of the arm moving the SD card:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKgSLGnK1Ls --- Imported from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9424 Original creator: Gatsu
