Optimized snap connection

This is a study to optimze a snap-on connection for PLA. The geometry is desigend so that stress is more or less equally distributed over the geometry height.
The top is designed to apply constant pressure so that there is no play between the parts.

The design is independant from the height (Z) and the distance between the two sides.

Fusion 360 and Step files are included so you can use the design in other designs.

Arduino controlled photogrammetry 3D-scanner

This turntable is a new and improved version of my hand cranked version (Can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3723618). A lot of people suggested to me I should put a stepper motor onto it to get some very nice cinematic shots. This is exactly what I did.

I gave it a bit more functionality than just a regular cinematic turntable. I added the possibility to use the turntable as a rig to capture photos 360 degrees around an object.

The photos are being taken by a smartphone connected to a Bluetooth remote located inside the turntable. I just used the most straight forward, obvious and simple solution to capture these photos, which was to use a servo to press a button on a Bluetooth remote. I went for this solution due to the fact that Apple products tend to not like the HC-05 and HC-06 Bluetooth modules and refuse to connect to them. I’m sure a cleaner and more durable solution is to use these HC-05 or HC-06 modules and connect them to an android device.

The amount of photo’s that have to be taken can be determined by the user, ranging from 2 photo’s to 200 photo’s. These values can be easily adjusted in the Arduino program. The taken photos can be converted later on into a 3D-model using photogrammetry software. The photogrammetry software I use is Autodesk Recap Photo.

In the second menu you can find the possibility to use the turntable to make awesome cinematic shots of your objects. In this mode the turntable rotates a certain amount of turns at a constant speed chosen by the user ranging from 1 to 17 RPM (speed of the stepper motor).

The third and last menu enables the user to manually control the turntable and bring the plate to the desired position at the preferred speed.

Cyberdyne Systems T-800 CPU Core with Acrylic Container

This Thing is a modified remix of

  • Cyberdyne Systems – T800 CPU USB Drive by alpokemon
  • Terminator T800 CPU / Chip Base / Container by SmashD

What I did is

  • Created CNC milling scripts for the USB flash drive (you also can print alpokemon’s model on your 3D printer)
  • Modified SmashD’s base to match the USB Stick variant
  • Mixed up SmashD’s base with the top cap into a combined new version (for me, it looks much better now)
  • Modified the M3 holes in the top cap to support M3x10 screws

You also need some acrylic tube (approx 100-120mm in length) with 50/44mm diameter:

Labyrinth Gift Box

Time for Christmas, time for a less boring package for the cash my nephews will get. Last year it took them all of 5 seconds to get at their cash, hopefully this one will take them a little bit longer. There’s only one correct path and I tried to make it so that it’s easy to slide past the correct exits, time will tell if it’s effective.

As always, please post pictures if you decide to make one. I’ve spent more hours than I care to count on this one so it’s the least you can do dammit 😉

Update: Well, Christmas is over and I’m happy to report that it was the first gift received but the last one opened for the day. One was still closed when I left. I’ll call that a success 🙂

3D Printable chainmail.

The chainmail size is 195x195mm. A 60x60mm sample is available to test and find the right settings before printing the big chainmail. Print the model with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0% infill.

Download the dual/multi extrusion version here:

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3096708

The source file is available. Open it with Autodesk Fusion 360 and create your own custom chainmail!

I’d like to thank all my supporters and patrons, with your help I’ve been able to create this project. The Patreon MVPs for this project are David Kessler, Damien, Keyboardbelle, 3D Maker Noob, 3D Printing Stuff, Filaments.directory, Remco Katz and Sabino!

BD-1 (Star Wars – Jedi Fallen Order)

This is BD-1 the buddy droid from the upcoming star wars game Jedi – Fallen Order as seen at EA-Play. Since there are only few references available the dimensions and some details are estimated. Headlength: ~30cm; Height: ~540cm

Happy Printing 🙂

11.06.19: I uploaded a assembled version for better scaling and included the original fusion360 file so you can change and remix it as much as you want. It would be very cool to see an animated version of that little buddy, but i have no experiences in robots and electronics :/

DIY Life-Size Terminator Arm Lamp

First of all. Thank you nracmo (https://www.thingiverse.com/nracmo/about) for the design! I have cleaned up a couple of parts, redesigned some of them to fit my need and raised the resolution. Further more i have designed a stand for the arm.

The arm is based on the second terminator movie.

If you like my work feel free to tip a small amout. It would help significant.

Update 10.06.2018
Fixed an error in hand.stl which could result in holes on the tip of the piston for the middle finger. (Thanks 3D_ProtoPrinting -> https://www.thingiverse.com/3D_ProtoPrinting/about)

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Update 16.06.2018
Due to some difficulties people had with the files hand_tubes.stl and arm_rods.stl. I have added split versions of the two files.
If you still have problems with a tube try to lower the speed by 50% to allow the print to cool more and use a raft.
