Jaycar has some amazing DIY learning kits, designed to help you in your journey of learning electronics - and this kit is no exception.   

A cute little electronic dice kit, comes with all the components you need - you simply solder the components in, assemble the two boards together with the provided screws and metal spacers, and throw in a CR2032 battery.

But lets go that one step further - placing your assembled kit into a well designed, cuboid enclosure.

Simply download this 'thing', print the case, the bottom, and 7 LED collars, place the LED collars under the LEDs BEFORE you solder them on the board, providing an even LED height across, allowing for your creation to align beautifully.

The bottom simply 'clips' in with four little tab-clips which are printed onto the bottom component.

-- To replace the battery, you simply poke a small piece of material into each of the four holes and 'pop' the bottom off cleanly and easily.

*** You can buy the electronic portion of this thing from Jaycar - https://www.jaycar.com.au/dice-with-leds-learn-to-solder-kit/p/KM1099

This CTC Replicator Dual - XY Cable Chain and Filament Filter was designed as there were no sound, adequate sized cable chains out there for the CTC Replicator Dual.

It is designed to basically bolt on - using a few of the existing nuts and bolts on your printer.

No support is required for ALL parts EXCEPT for ctc_replicator_chain_frame.stl - print this one only with supports, the rest printed perfectly fine on my CTC Replicator Dual without supports.

You need to print one of each part, except for ctc_replicator_chain_link.stl, which is the link that can be printed as many times as you need to achieve the length you desire - with my install I printed 22 links - and it is somewhat perfect. You'll want to print the filament holder pieces twice too, for both of the extruders.

The filament filters, I call canisters, are designed to simply 'plug in' to the designated holes in your new carriage cover.  These canisters are designed so that there is an 'insert' piece that goes inside - this insert is designed to hold (in your creative way), whatever material you wish to use as a filter - ie, cotton bud, dish sponge, car sponge, etc.


I hope you enjoy this as much I have done designing it.  I'm extremely happy with the end result, and if you find anything that may be changed to make this better, please, please, please comment! and let me know!

The Thomas and Friends Trackmaster train sets are an absolute world of fun for the kids.  My goal is to create a rich collection of customised pieces for these sets so that your kids can create their own dream train set!

Feel free to share your builds with me, I'd love to get as much feedback as possible, ideas for new pieces would be much appreciated as well!

I am in no way affiliated with Trackmaster or Thomas and Friends, and I'm sure these tracks would be compatible with numerous other vendors trains.

Feel free to follow my profile for additional pieces that I release over time.  I have some pretty cool ideas, that the kids will surely love!

My son loves his Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Trainset, and he also loves Hot-wheels Cars.  I designed this initially to combine the two, and developed a carriage system.

The base STL is printed completely and assembled.

Then you choose a 'topper' and print that out separately.  

Then glue the topper onto the base carriage, and hey presto! 

16/08/2021 - Added Lego Platform topper.  You can build lego directly onto a carriage, be creative and create carriages in your own style.

Please refer mainly to the original Satsana cooling duct that this thing is remixed from; 

If you change your hotend on your Ender 3/Ender 3 Pro to a microswiss all-metal-hotend, you'll notice that the original Satsana cooling duct sits too high, whereby the cooling outlets are partially blocked by the silicon sock on the new hotend - which in turn creates severe part cooling problems.

I remixed the original Satsana to incorporate 'adjustable height' slots where the duct mounts to the plate - I also took a little bit out of the sides so that the new height clears the eccentric nut on the bottom roller, and also took a little bit out of the side to allow the cabling to come up freely and cleanly from the hotend up to the top of the carriage.

Print it in the orientation that the part is set to, (flat to the plate), with supports TOUCHING BUILDPLATE ONLY.

This is a continuation of the Satsana design that also allows for the use of all existing parts on your ender 3 (screws, etc) so that you do not have to source bigger ones.

Let me know if theres anything else that you'd like to see!

A customer came to me needing a holster for their NCE Power Cab Controller - a remote controller that he uses to control his H0 scale model locomotive electronics wirelessly.

He wanted something sturdy that incorporated a sturdy mounting point, to ensure a safe, secure and optimal holding-system for his controller.

So I came up with this - and it works magically!

(Added nce_powercab_holster_wslot.stl which incorporates a front cable slot, so you can remove the controller completely from the holster with the cable as well, if needed) - thank you and enjoy! :)

A famous man once said "Stop asking for STL's on random objects; people don't live to make every BS thing you want into a 3D printable format. If you want it, make it yourself, and if you want to share it, that's your prerogative."

We should all bask in this man's glorious wisdom.

Bring the magic of Elf on the Shelf to your home, share with the kids.  This is actually what I've done today for tonight's adventure.

I printed a pair of glasses (from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3275950), I printed a bunch of closed books (from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2801284)

and then I wanted an open book that Elf could read!  So I designed this one in CAD, prints in two pieces, I printed the cover part in red resin (Because I had no red filament), and the white pages I printed in PLA+.

I scaled down an existing christmas book cover and some sample pages and printed, cut and glued them onto the cover and the pages inside, to give it a more magical feel.

I hope this brings happiness to your home as it is for our home!  I can't wait for my son to see it in the morning!

Merry Christmas all!

Trying to quit smoking isn't an easy task - and for me I chose to use Nicotine Lozengers (Nicotine Replacement Therapy), and have been on it for three years.  

Because the lozengers only come in two strengths, and one size, I wanted to break the strength down even further by breaking them up.

I needed an easy way to break them up.  So I designed this.  A Simple Pill/Lozenger Breaker/Cutter/Cracker.

Note - I've included a built-in support for the blade area (where the cross is) on the base - this disc is designed to be removed along with your slicer's supports too.  Under the blades is meant to be empty - as it is - a hole that goes to the bottom.  Its designed so you could put a small container under it to catch the pieces after the pill is cracked..

The ultimate "cute" and "cool" printer calibration test.  

Designed to test overhangs, stringing, retraction, bridging, cooling and mid air printing.  The z actually has nothing under it. Your printer literally has to try to web out a foundation in semi mid air.

Good luck, and please be sure to post a photo of your make.  I'd love to see how well all our printers are dialed in out there!

Note:  The actual design is 25x25x25mm, see how close your printer can get :)

The CTC Replicator Dual from factory includes two black tubes to be used as clip-on filament guides, which can loosen and fall down and cause issues with your extruder's ability to dispense filament smoothly.

This creation is to replace the clips/zip ties/etc that hold the tubes, allowing for a stronger and more elegant filament guide holder.  It also includes the tube clips that are printed and pushed onto either end of the filament tube to hold it, while still allowing it to move side-to-side.

Print the main part, and four (x4) cable clips.

Works fantastically.   You use the existing nut and bolts from the old center cable clip/holder.

Please feel free to post a build up, or give comments/suggestions so that I can make this the best it can be.

If you own an Ender 3 or Ender 3 Pro you've probably noticed that the filament goes extremely close to the Z Axis threaded bar.  Sometimes even getting jagged or jammed in it.  

This design is quite simply a sturdy, quality filament guide to keep the filament away from the Z axis bar, and feeding as it should do - with the curved/chamfered filament guide hole design, it allows for the filament to feed in (and out), smoothly and efficiently.

Print this one with supports, cura zig-zag supports work well.  The only part that needs support is the loop and hole where the filament feeds through.    Please see the photos for where to install it, and note, it installs on a slight angle to allow for it to mount flush away from the little metal lip around the z axis bar at the bottom.

Feel free to like, and post a make / install if you find it helpful!   This was to replace the pre-existing filament guide that is currently out there, as the hook/filament guide kept snapping as it was very fragile.   The fillets in my design allow for strength, durability and stability.

I searched far and wide for replacement clips to hold my Caroma toilet seat to my toilet fixture, and to no avail.

Plumbing supplies confirmed that I'd need to buy a whole new toilet seat ($100+ to be equivalent).

So I measured, modelled and printed two of these - and they fit and function perfectly.

In the process of creating an automatic dog-biscuit feeder, I realised the auger STLs available didn't seem to fit my needs; nor did they appear 'strong'.   After reading various feedback with the already-existing auger models, I designed this with strength in mind.

Print in the orientation in the STL file, with supports on for buildplate only.  It's the strongest build orientation for functionality, and you can always sand or scrape it smoother if needed.

I printed mine with 6 walls, top, bottom and sides.  40% infill, 0.2mm layer height.

Builder wants to drill 90mm holes in the ceiling before checking if they should be 85mm instead? You're the sparkie who turns up to the site and finds the big mess? No worries.  This collar should sort the builder's antics.

Print them out, slide them in.  The spikes give grip to 5mm of plaster to patch up the 5mm.

If you want, get a piece of 85mm pipe or something that fits inside the collar so you can smear the plaster into the gap and get the perfect circle. 

And maybe ban the builder from drilling anymore holes.

Levelling your print bed is probably one of the most important things to get right on your 3D printer.  It is also one of the most common issues when you experience printing issues.

I have a CTC Replicator Dual with a 225x145mm heated bed.  I'm printing on a piece of mirror that I bought from my local hardware store for $20 AUD.  (The mirror was 300mm wide, by 1.2m long, and I cut the mirror up with a glass cutter).

So many times I've ran into issues with levelling the bed on this printer, as the out-of-box levelling mechanisms are a nightmare (which I plan on upgrading as soon as possible).

IMPORTANT - Disable skirt when printing this test, as the skirt WILL be printed over the top of.

The tricycle has a plastic tow-ball setup.

I've included the Creo Parametric part file if you'd like to adjust sizing etc.  Also included the STL file.
