About
Thingiverse is a place for you to share your digital designs with the
world. We believe that just as computing shifted away from the
mainframe into the personal computer that you use today, digital
fabrication will share the same path. Infact, it is already happening:
laser cutters, cnc machines, 3D printers, and even automated paper
cutters are all getting cheaper by the day. These machines are useful
for a huge variety of things, but you need to supply them with a
digital design in order to get anything useful out of them. We're
hoping that together we can create a community of people who create and
share designs freely, so that all can benefit from them.

Team Badges
My twin sons turned 10 today, and for their brithday party they wanted to organize an epic Nerf gun battle. They divided their friends into three teams, the Spartans, the Destroyers, and the Russians.
We decided it would be fun to make team badges for each kid to wear. We stared with artwork found through Google Image Search, and using Photoshop, added text and borders and created greyscale heightmaps of the badges we wanted (white for thickest, black for outside the badge).
The Heightmap to STL code ( thingiverse.com/thing:15276 ) turned the 2D images into STL. We printed the badges 4-up for convenience, and different colors for different teams.

Kritzlerbot Polargraph (printable)
Inspired by the amazing Kritzler tinkerlog.com/2011/09/02/der-kritzler/ and Polargraph polargraph.co.uk/ plus some itch to make my own.
Also see AS220s:
as220.org/labs/drawbot/
I liked the polargraph rotating axial mount, but since I do not have the suitable bearings, I printed 'em from pla. The fit is quite close, and with some Teflon spray they appear to work great!
This has still to be mounted and tested. Notice the tidy desk ;-)
Other available sources are Makerblock's build thingiverse.com/thing:16384

Stackable Polygons - now more parametric
Tweaked meirm's Stackable Polygons to:
1) Make the OpenSCAD code more parametric and commented (i.e. replaced numbers with variables and equations).
2) Made the ends of the 'bones' rounded, to make them easier to slide onto the 'polygons'.
Meirm did the hard math, and the polygons were already parametric (number of slots).
Attached are STL files for polygons with 6 and 8 slots, and 'bones' length 20 mm and 40 mm.

Tap holder
Please see my reason for making this thing here: thingiverse.com/thing:16662
I need the tap holder for rethreading holes after powder painting. That is why i made the handle thicker. For a drill holder it might be better with a thinner handle. Let me know if you want me to make one :)
The insert is drawn with a Ã6,1 hole.
I will also change that for you if needed.

Oh Crap! Toilet Paper Holder
Derivative design of cibomahto's original design for a sleek, minimal toilet paper holder here; thingiverse.com/thing:5938
â¢Â Added ribs for support at connection to base
⢠Reduced diameter to accomodate more manufacturers' toilet paper rolls
⢠Download & print with or without the words, "Oh crap! Time to buy more toilet paper" embossed
