Clamp Handle for saw fence - parametric with a bit of bodgeing
My el-cheapo band saw was so cheap the plastic handle on the fence clamp broke on second use. So obviously I SCADed a new one ;) This hosted file keeps creator credit and license details.
Rigidbot Nut Insert
For placing into RigidBot bars to fix issues with stripped threads. I used a bar clamp to press the bolts into place. The large and medium sizes differ only in width by a fraction of a millimeter (the bars were somewhat inconsistent in size so I made two different versions). The small one is significantly smaller and I used those for holes that were further in. Uses a 3mm nut with nylon insert (there's no need for to use nylocs, but that's all I had on hand). It will probably work with a regular 3mm nut too, but I haven't tried it. This hosted file keeps creator credit and license details.
Ocarine Part 1 Revised
This is a modification of the first part of the Ocarina by seggybop. I flipped it so that the curved end is printed last. This allows you to print it without a support or raft. This hosted file keeps creator credit and license details.
Two-Tone Portable Coat and Purse Hook
This multicolored portable coat and purse hook follows the basic C-clamp mechanism to safely secure your purse and coat to any table up to 1.75in thick. Its small design (about 5in tall and 3.5in wide) means you can store it easily and take it with you wherever you go. The clamping mechanism makes sure the hook is secure to the table and can’t be accidentally knocked off or easily stolen. Some more difficult assembly is required.

Desk cable clamp
Holds a cable to the back of a desk. Screw this clamp into the bottom back of the desktop. Pre-drill the hole to prevent the screw from pushing out the desk-wood. I chose LAYWOO-D3 to match my wood coloured desk, but black or brown plastic might also look just as good. The slot down the middle allows the arms to spring open wide enough to accept the cable. Sizes can be changed in scad file to suite your desk and cable and screw. This hosted file keeps creator credit and license details.

Prusa Air 2 Tool Holder
Tool holder for the Prusa Air 2 . It mounts on one of the top corners of the printer, near the Z axis motors. Feel free to download and modiify the SketchUp file to adapt the design to your own tools. This hosted file keeps creator credit and license details.
Fully assembled 3D printable wrench
Please consider supporting me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DanielNoree After watching the infamous video from a few years back where Z-Corp prints a fully working wrench i decided i wanted to do the same thing on my own printer. Now, i am not talking about a "print-several-pieces-and-then-assemble" version which there are already a ton of on the internet. What i wanted to do was something i could print and that would actually be fully working straight out of the printer. I like to think i came pretty close. All you need to do is to remove the internal support and your done! Keep in mind this is a proof of concept, i just wanted to see if i could do it. Updated 2013-10-16: Added "Prin...

G-Clamp fully printable
Small G-Clamp fully printable without support. Additional a larger frame and screw is provided which adds another centimeter. The protector can be reused for the larger clamp. The screw has a fair amount of space, so it should fit without problems into the frame screw hole. Should anyone still have an issue let me know and i can provide an additional version. The best way to mount the protector is to use the clamp itself by closing the clamp until the screw ball and protector ball joint clicks together or use your thumb. For my requirements i used only 25% (~3 hour print) because i need just to hold things in place while the glue is drying. For more force 100% infill is recommended and don'...

Yet ANOTHER Machine Vise
This is a quite robust 3d-printable machine vise. It's 100% 3d-printed - no screw or other piece of hardware is needed to hold the individual pieces together. Pieces clip and snap together. It's a demonstration that it is very important to consider forces and material properties already when designing a mechanical object. Hints about proper design are presented in my video: https://youtu.be/mziT7KV-fRI The video also includes explanations how to assemble this vise. For 3d-printing it's recommended to print 3 shell layers. 35% infill is sufficient. All the forces for clamping a workpiece are only active at the outer surface - more infill doesn't make the vise more robust. Layer height is 0.1...

Tiny Planetary Gears Set
A small planetary gears system with a ratio of 4:1 per stage, as many stages as wanted, small, open enclosure to see the gears, and hardware free. The gears are designed with a circular pitch of 2.5mm and they are also slightly beveled at the tips of the teeth to avoid the need of cleaning the excess of material from the firsts layers. The OpenSCAD is not parametric, there's only parameters for clearance (set to 0.2), backslash (set to 0.1), pressure angle (set to 22.5), tolerances between nuts and bolts (set to 0.4) and length of the bolts, sometimes referred as rods. Any other change will not work. To play with the OpenSCAD you will need the following libraries: Public Domain Involute Par... This hosted file keeps creator credit and license details.
