A 5 pieces puzzle where you have to put the 5 pieces together into a Dodecahedron.
This is quite an easy puzzle.

There is now .4 mm clearance, so if you want to print it with a decent printer either scale it down to around 70% or increase the horizontal expansion in the slicer. 

The pieces are already rotated flat and need a minimum amount of support.
I printed it using tree support, only touching the build plate (in Cura slicer)

Sliding Dodecahedron Puzzle Easy

Here are some simple small figures that you can put on a monitor or shelf to add some life.
When you place some of these on a monitor keep in mind that some monitors shake a bit causing them to fall off. To fix this either tape them on or tape a piece of anti-slip to the figure.

The figure that lays on its back has three parts, to make it easier to print.

Most of the figures need support.

A figure that has 8 joints, the joints have an octagonal shape which means that the joints connecting to the main body have to be removed to be turned. Support is necessary.

Sphericons are mostly round so that they will roll, but unlike a ball, it will not roll in a straight line, it will follow the face of the sphericon with makes it, for instance, go straight for some distance and then go a bit to the side and then go straight again.
The 7 and 9 are anti-Sphericons since it is an uneven number, these will roll forward and then backwards again. 

They can be printed in two parts (front and back or left and right) and they can be connected with a core, make sure that you have the right core since there are three cores, one for the square, one for the hexagon and one for number 7 to 10.

I made a treasure chest.

It depends on your printer if you need to print support.

I made some props for a DnD game, but it can be used for any game.
Can be printed without support.

A gift for Father's day 

Father's day gift

A gift box which, when pulled, can extend quite far. It can be a fun toy but it has thin walls, so it is not that strong.

**Print settings**
Was printed ad 0.2 mm layer height.
Does need support, but the spring should be printed without support, so add a support blocker in the middle of the print (going from the bottom to the top) as shown in the figure.

**Post-Printing**
Go with a knife or a putty knife through the layers of the spring to release the layers that are fused together.
