Stratasys destroys more and more the thingiverse-infrastructure. So [my project from March 2016](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1395243) was not visible anymore and Stratasys didn't react on any of my meanwhile five issue requests regarding different bugs in the platform I had to publish this project again to make it visible to you.

Because the stand [1323186](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1323186) was too skew and the stand [1387000](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1387000) does not fit for my [charger coil](https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-PowerPort-Charging-Qi-Enabled/dp/B00Y839YMU) and the Galaxy S7 edge I designed my own version from scratch with FreeCAD. It looks similar to the both others at the first view but meets better my requirements.

Edit 2016/09/13: Added model "Charging_Stand_Hardcase" without the phone holder lip. This model is recommended if you are using a hardcover for your phone which is a little bit thicker than the space between the cradles body and lip of the original model.

Edit 2016/12/17: Uploaded FreeCAD-Drawing on request

Edit 2017/08/08: Upladed V2 of both versions with covered lead through for USB-plug. Looks better when the phone is not in the stand.

After flushing soda bottles they should be stored upside down to drain the water for better drying.
But because of their small opening they often fall over. This is loud and annoying.
So I designed a stand where the bottles can be set in. Because of its wider base the bottles are standing safe now and can be stored so for a longer time too.
This stand is designed for soda bottles with bajonet lid.

Edit 2017/02/14: It seems that bajonet lid is not equal bajonet lid. I got a bottle that doesn't fit into the stand because of its longer bajonet wings. So I made a new version (V2) of the stand to fit these wider bottles.

With this two mounts a water cooling radiator can be mounted to the portal of a CNC 3020 milling router to replace the ridiculous water bucket cooling by a closed loop. No new holes have to be drilled because only the existing bolt holes will be used.
The holders for the tank/pump-combination are glued to the portal.
The goal to not increase the size of the machine was reached. All parts are mounted within the original outer dimensions of the device.
An improved version of the cooler is to see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFLYIL3ggew . The improvements to be seen there can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4178050

This model can be used to place the cheap LED lamps from China on places where no suitable holder is mounted. You can use lamps between 3W and 9W.
The wires are connected by lustre clamps with the lamps contacts.
I did not make holes for wires or screws in the holder and the stand because there are too different requirements regarding size and position. Drill the holes by your self in a suitable way

Formerly I used as bath for my birds a cap of a butter dish. But this part crumbled more and more over the time. Because my birds are very sensitive for changes in their environment I tried to make the new bath similar to the old one. But I made some improvements. So the bottom is flat now, the volume a little bit higher and the upper edges are wider and rounded for better sitting.

Size: 145 x 104 x 42 mm³

Printed with PLA crystal clear, extruder 210°C, bed 60°C

It is not easy to get the bottom waterproof. I got it with the following tricks:
I used two different print parameter settings. The first three bottom layers were printed with rectilinear external fill, the next three layers with circular external fill. For the first and forth layer the nozzle fan was disabled for better connection. Additionally I increased the extrusion factor from 0.9 to 1.1. So the lines and layers are better fused and become waterproof.

This is a fully printable case for a word-clock. It is designed for use of LED stripes WS281x with 60 LED/m. 
Additional there are needed only a RaspberryPi, a 5V power-supply, some wires and the software from here: https://github.com/xSnowHeadx/word-clock
If using an additional USB-soundcard the device can be used as spectrum-analyzer too (see third picture).

Edit 2017/02/28: wordclock_case_half.stl updated

Mechanical digital clock with network time acquisition

I made this incredible simple but genius clock by shiura and found, that the parts have to be glued or welded together. Because I'm not a friend of nondetachable connections I tried to make the respective parts new from scratch to be able to mount them by simply joining them together.
The ESP32 was a bit oversized for this simple job in my mind. So I designed mount positions for an ESP8266 and the stepper amplifier in the base to fix the PCB safe in the case. You see here only the modified parts. The original number cylinders you can get from the source by shiura.
The firmware had to be adapted to the ESP8266 and ist available on [github](https://github.com/xSnowHeadx/MinimalClock). To prevent the mess with timezones and daylight saving I used the [WTA-API](https://worldtimeapi.org) instead of the NTP-service. So your timezone can be figured out from your public IP and no firmware modification is neccessary for all timezones.

Edit 2021/08/31: added option "PRE_MOVE" in firmware for earlier start of motion to reach target position just in time

Edit 2021/10/18: added slots in the bases to hold the snap-in-tongues of the [additional base-bottoms by Art_Lieberman](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4987737)

The original gasket for the Surefeed MBOWL Stainless Steel Cup becomes brown and brittle over time losing the contact to the bowl.
This model, printed out of TPU or TPE, can replace the old gasket.
Because it fits tight over the bowls edge it is not necessary to use glue to fix it.
Depending of the material you can downsize the model in X- and Y-direction (not in Z-direction!) to 98% for tighter fit.

Inspired by the adjustable Z-bed by brianvanh I wanted to have one which can be adjusted motorized controlled by the upgraded smoothieboard in the cutter.
The realized bed can move its surface up to 30mm below the lasers focus.
Beside the printed parts and some different M2 and M3 bolts and nuts there are the following parts necessary:
- 4 x quadratic aluminum profile 15mm x 15mm x 2mm length 300mm
- 4 x quadratic aluminum profile 15mm x 15mm x 2mm length 150mm
- 1 x NEMA17 stepper motor 17HS4401
- 4 x GT2 20 teeth timing pulley aluminum bore 8mm
- 1 x GT2 20 teeth timing pulley aluminum bore 5mm
- 3 x GT2 16 teeth idler aluminum bore 3mm
- 1 x GT2 timing belt closed loop 6mm x 1140mm
- 3 x M8 threaded rods 67mm
- 1 x M8 threaded rod 85mm for handle (if wished, otherwise 67mm too)
- 6 x M8 nuts (4 x if no handle is wished)
- 4 x 608 ball bearings 8mm x 22mm x 7mm
- 2 x micro switches 105126SPGJL5375
- 1 piece of stretched metal (better a honeycomb plate) 220mm x 360mm made of steel
- 8 x neodyme magnets round 15mm x 5mm

A lot of the K40 laser cutters sold on ebay are bluff packages. They contains a 600mm laser tube never able to provide the promised 40W laser power. 600mm tubes have a nominal power of 20W and a peak power between 25-35W. They are higly overdriven in the sold devices drastically reducing their life time. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9hjeLTwPfI . My tube died after 20 hours.
A real 40W tube has a length between 700mm and 720mm and will not fit in the devices case. Luckily there was a covered window on the side of my device where the longer tube can jut through. But at this side of the tube are the 20kV high voltage connected and the overhanging part of the tube is not mechanical protected.
The here provided cover protects this part of the tube and isolates the high voltage connector preventing it from being touched.

Edit 2018/12/21: If the tube is not mounted centric to the hole but near to bottom the cooling water loop collides with the covers inner chamfer. In this case use the longer version of the cover: tubecover_105mm.stl

The dirtbin by LazyOdin fits perfect in my  VR100 robot but looks a bit strange. 
https://www.thingiverse.com/make:785090
That's why I added a lid to cover the whole bin bay.
Like the source by LazyOdin it also uses the roomba 880/900 dirt bin filter.

Edit: After four months of intensive tests I must say that the improvement of cleaning power by this bin/filter-combination is really incredible. The air flow throughput is nearly twice of the original and the dirt can be found where it has to go to: as compressed plate along the whole filter and not as a clump at the bins inlet.

When printing the rims by xecutor why not print the tires too? Because my VR100 has lost a lot of his tires profile and got more and more problems on carpets and door sills I designed at first a tire with a profile similar to the original one (neato_wheel_tyre_original.stl). To improve the traction on door sills I later made a second version for me (neato_wheel_tyre_climber.stl). It makes a bit more noise on hard ground but because I'm not at home when the robot is cleaning this doesn't matter me. May be that this version is helpful for other users with complicated ground too. 

Both models don't need support structures.

Recommended print settings:

Material: white or clear TPE or TPU with shore 85A or lower
Extruder temperature: 235°C
Print bed temperature: 80°C
Print speed: 25mm/s

Estimated print time per part: 2h
Material per part: ca. 15g

I printed direct to the glass plate without capton tape because on earlier tries the adhesion of the TPE on the tape was so strong that i lifted the tape from the glass plate when removing the parts.

Edit 2016/06/26: Added the model "neato_wheel_tyre_climber_V2" for better climbing

Out of stock the CNC 3020 router doesn't have limit switches mounted even if there is a sufficient number of inputs available on the controller.
So I designed some mounts to adjust and fix the limit switches from type 105126SPGJL5375.
The XZ-plate can be fixed on the existing bolt holes with a bit longer bolts. The other plates I glued for the moment to keep the warranty of the device.
The wiring box also can be mounted with the bolt for the cable chain. I removed all paint in the bolts threads and was so able, to ground the device using a cable socket within the wiring box. The outstanding bolt on the front side of the box is the connector for the probe signal. Here can a clip terminal be contacted for connection to the sensor plate.
Take care to draw the wire for the Y-switches as shown in the picture to prevent the shearing of the cable on the end of the moving area. 
I mounted an additional 5-terminal jack at the controllers case connected to the limit-switch and probe inputs of the connectors plate. The cable is drawn together with the spindles cable trough the cable chains to the wiring box on the portal.

The placement of the switches and wiring box is to see in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFLYIL3ggew

Stratasys destroys more and more the thingiverse-infrastructure. So [my project from March 2021](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4802771) was not visible anymore and Stratasys didn't react on any of my meanwhile five issue requests regarding different bugs in the platform I had to publish this project again to make it visible to you.

I was excited by the design and solutions of hollow clocks. But all of them are running with only quartz accuracy and needs permanent correctures.
So I used an ESP8266 NodeMCU to obtain the time from internet and added a correcture for rounding errors from time-values to steps to the software. Additionally the change from CET to CEST and back is considered automatically. So the clock nevermore has to be to corrected.
Because the ESP8266 is a bit longer than the Arduino Nano I had to create the base completely new from scratch to fit the new PCB. Additionally I splitted the base to be able to print it without support. Two additional holes makes it easier to mount the motor with its screws and a cover hides this ugly stepper.

The firmware for the ESP8266 is available on [github](https://github.com/xSnowHeadx/HollowClock) (it's still under construction there)

Edit 2021/03/28: Btw: CEST correction worked fine. When I woke up this morning the clock was showing the correct CEST-time. ;-)

It is designed for using the device without pinheaders the possible necessary wires soldered direct to the PCB.
There are four holes in the cover to be able to press both buttons with a needle and to see both LED.
Especially for IoT-applications the case should be as small as possible. This is the smallest possible one. ;-)

Some original parts of the exploding lamp by DJ_Konsult  ( www.thingiverse.com/thing:1265575 ) are a little bit sensitive. So I redesigned them to be able to make the lamp from ABS without damaging the parts on assembly.
These parts also should be used with PLA to prevent disappointment on mounting.
The new parts has been tested and worked fine.
I used ABS clear (glow in the dark) which gives a spectacular effect after switching off the light.

Edit: Unfortunately the user DJ_Konsult  has deleted his account here and so removed all of his models. So these parts are only useful if you have downloaded the original model before the account was deleted.

Yes, I know, "Just another cat litter scoop!". But for my brand of cat litter (Biokats Micro-Fresh) I need a shovel with a mesh size of 4mm as the best compromise between catching the finest clots and wasting unused cat litter. And because my maine coons produce big, big lumps in their XXL-toilet  I need a big and stable scoop.
But there were no suitable shovels to buy or to print. So I made my own one. 
It's not streamlined or artificial designed but it works very well for me and does it's job.
For a convenient angle of the handle and to prevent a lot of support structures the handle will be printed separated from the blade and attached after print. Additionally the handle will become more stable if the layers are running in parallel with the shape.
To save filament the handle is designed hollow but is stable enough for the biggest lumps.

Edit 2017/07/22: Added a bigger model of the shovel blade to sieve more effective in an XXL-toilet.

This is not a crack pipe but a doser to aromatise sparkling water with syrup. It is designed for syrup bottles with PCO-1881 thread. Fully filled this doser dispenses an amount of 20 ml syrup sufficient for the content of a standard bottle for sparkling water makers of 860 ml.

It needs a bit exercise to use it but then it is easy to dose the syrup. The second picture shows how to fill the doser with syrup, the third picture the pouring out.

Edit 2016/12/21: New design V2. This design prevents the backflow of syrup out of the doser into the syrup bottle when pouring out.

The tappet of the Surefeed Sealed Pet Bowl is a bit weak, becomes brittle over the time and breaks after a few years.
This part can replace this tappet making the bowl working again.

In the previous simple version water pump and fans are always running on full speed which is not necessary, loud and annoying.
Additional to the already mounted parts with the parts provided here a temperature controller board can be mounted and, if wished, a flow- and temperature indicator too.
The board holder is mounted above the radiator holder with the same bolts. The case for the temperature indicator is glued on this holder. The flow indicator is glued on top of the case. The indicator case has two holes to mount two UV-LED to illuminate the vane.
The goal to not increase the size of the machine was reached. All parts are mounted within the original outer dimensions of the device.
To control the pump, the controller board must be a type for 2- or 3-wire fans. A 4-wire controller will not work because the pump doesn't have a pwm-control-input.

I enhanced the "Trammel of Archimedes" by Madox to a three-way-version to realize the same functionality (nothing) with a bit more effort. It's drawn from scratch too but I tried to keep his design. The slider is unmodified and uploaded here only for completeness purposes.
The instructions are the same as provided by madox but you'll need one additional slider and screw.

Conventional pet food gadgets only divide the food within the tin can. In high cans it is a big problem then to get the first portion out of the can.
The dispenser provided here enables it to divide the wished amount of food and take it out of the can afterwards.  

Usage: Set the divider centric on top of the opened tin can and press it down until it sits on the foods surface.
Then rotate it clockwise and a stripe of food will be cutted out and shifted upwards trough the gap. A whole revolution dispenses 100g of food. If you need 150g, for example, make one and a half revolutions.
Now you can lift the divider together with the food and empty it into the feeding dish.

Try to hold the divider always at a constant height and do not apply downforce. Otherwise the remaining food underneath the divider will be squeezed and the blade will haul too much food. If you need more than 100g make one revolution at first at constant height. Then press the divider down like at start until it touches the food surface again. Now you can continue the rotation. 

This model is just under development. I would be glad to get feed back and suggestions for its improvement.

The original rung lock of the ladder has a constructional issue causing a predefined breakpoint at the begin of the lock tongues. So a lot of these locks breaks over the time and can't be bought separate.
The new designed part does not have this problem and can be used instead of buying a complete new ladder.

Unfortunately the accumulator of the bullet cam loses the main part of his capacity within the first year. To record a full bicycle tour there is not enough power left.
To power it during the tour the original protective cap must be removed to be able to plug the power source into the body.
This cap protects the camera against dust and water drops when using the external power.

Of course, cats are cute. But two of them with much, much fur killed my vacuum cleaner robot meanwhile three times. 
There is a constructive issue on the main brush motor. There is a wide gap between the motors case and the output drive gear showing the naked axle. Here the hairs are wrapping the axle, squeezing between case and gear and brakes massive the motor. Often there comes the message "brush blocked" and the motor becames very hot and produces hot smell. Over the time this also affect the internal motors mounts making the rotor jiggling within the case, making a lot of noise and finally blocking complete.
To end the necessity to cut the axle free with a long scalpel and peeling the hairs off with a tweezers every two weeks and to keep the fourth motor a bit longer than one year I made a protector which prevents the hairs from wrapping around the axle. 
Two of these protector parts closes the gap on the motor without braking it.

With this mounts the cameras Asus Xtion or Asus Xtion Pro Live can be mounted on a servo bracket to be able to pan and tilt the camera for example on a robot.
The part "camera_mount_fix.stl" fixes the camera in a strict vertical position regarding to the bracket. With "camera_mount_var.stl" the tilt of the camera can be changed to compensate possible deviations of the centered servo.

I also had problems with the wider threads on the pipes from aliexpress. Unfortunately I already printed 10 of this sockets before receiving the items from China.
I didn't recognise that there was a remix for wider threads online meanwhile and that a drawing file for this socket is available.
So I designed a new one with FreeCAD and OpenSCAD using the thread tool by mike_mattala http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:193647 .
If your pipe-threads have an outer diameter of 12.8 mm you can use these sockets.

On carpets with higher pile the stock wheels and also the other tires I designed have not enough grip and causing wheelspin so.
So I designed a special profile for this carpet which will have much more grip there than the other profiles. A test was successful.
On hard floor these tires will produce a bit more noise than the stock wheels.

Edit 2020/12/19: Inspired by the remix by [jlcornwell](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3347822) which needs support to can be printed I simply scaled my model down to 50% in height and print it twice. Mounted both parts shifted by a half tooth on the wheel the robot runs more smoothly on hard floors now. See last photo.

To guide my wild vine branches along the railing of my balcony I made some clamps to be snapped over the balconies rail with enough space to guide the branches without squishing them. 
Unfortunately I'm not able to make this customizable. 
The inner size of the clamp is 76,5mm wide and 35,5mm height.

Because I didn't find a helper to measure the mismatch of the second toolheads offset direct, I made my own.
It doesn't look spectacular but helped me to exactly adjust the offset settings in my slicer program after only one print test.

The handlebar mount provided with a well known GoPro-Clone (left part) is designed for a handlebar with 22mm diameter. No chance to fit it to a 32mm handlebar.
With the uploaded part (mounted in the first picture) the holder now can be mounted on a 32mm handlebar.

Edit 2017/08/07: V2 with additional fillets for higher long term stability added
