Traffic Safety Cone Caution Tape and Blinker Accessory V3

$ .50

$1.99

Safety Cone Caution Tape And Blinker Accessory The inspiration of this device comes from ten years of working in the security industry. Some clients were too cheap to buy the long pole type of safety devices designed for caution tape. Officers would use regular 18 inch tall safety cones instead to block off parking areas or around safety hazards like construction holes. Struggling to attempt to tie the caution tape through and around a full cone, or attempting to attach to the cones using packing tape was difficult to perform. Tying it looked rather tacky and the tape either would not stick because the cones were too dirty or would stick so well we couldn’t get it off when we were done. Suggest printing at least 30% infill. Device screws into the top of a safety cone with a 1 1/4 inch top hole. The quality of the cone top is important for the device to screw in effectively. Probably not the best design for cones that have been highly used and constantly stacked on a pole as the wear will result in much larger holes. Also, you should not stack a cone on top of others with the device in place. The hole originally was so that it would not suction cup to the other cones, so plugging it will negate the effect and make it difficult to pull the cone off others. Has been designed to allow attachment of a bicycle style blinker light (the back one from Bell is pictured here). Caution tape can be placed into the hook and either tied directly to it or wrapped so it can be used as middle holder.

Phelps 3D Peep Hole Covers

Inspired by the events that put Erin Andrews in the news for all the wrong reasons, these four designs will serve for cheap protection against these types of privacy violation issues. Whether you just want a simple flip peep hole cover or if you would prefer something that is more portable and goes into the peep hole itself, these four designs have you covered. Suggest printing these at 20% infill and 0.2 mm layer height. Print the flexible filament at 20 mm/second with no retraction.

Critter Waterer

$ .99

This was originally designed to be a bee feeder, but I think any animal that drinks could benefit from it. There is a soda bottle version that will fit most types. The water bottle version was designed specifically for Crystal Gyser bottles and may fit others. I discovered that there are about three different size/thread patters for water bottles so they are not as universal. I would print this in PLA or another food safe type of filament. it works similar to a humming bird feeder and the water has empty to the holes before it will dispense more.

Basket

$ .99

I would print this at least 50% infill to attempt to make the basket curls strong. You need supports, but they can be a pain to remove. I used a Dremel rotary tool to cut them near the top and carefully cut through the side holes to split them up.

Your Tie

$1.99

A simple click together hinge business tie that can show off your 3D printing skills. Part 1 has been designed so that you can extend the tie if you are tall by printing more copies of it. Accentuate the tie with personalized monogram plates. Uses 3/4 inch elastic band and clasp parts to put it into your collar. Parts have been oriented, the vertical ones should be printed with raft and supports. Clasp should be printed at 100% infill and recommend at least 30% infill for other parts.

Small Antennae Topper Display

$1.99

If you collect antenna balls or other toppers you need a way to display them. The small display can hold up to three. Suggest printing in 50% or higher infill.

Antennae Topper Display Wall Hang

$1.99

Antenna topper/ball hanger to be screwed onto a wall. You'll need super glue, screws and possibly the plastic anchors if trying to affix to drywall. Print out three pegs. Should print in at least 50% infill.

Antennae Topper Display Large

$1.99

Display up to six antenna toppers/balls to show off your collection. Should print at least 50% infill.

Doorstop Bumper

$ .99

Coffee Creamer Tote

$ .99

This device makes it simple to pull out multiple coffee creamers out of your refrig and display them for company to pour into their coffee.

Small Pet Casket

$ .99

This coffin is for the burrial of small pets like a mouse or a bird. It could be scaled up for larger pets. The inner hole dimensions are 134 mm long, 67 mm wide at the small end, and about 96 mm tall with the top in place. Please print in PLA or another biodegradable material. Also please check your local ordinances for burial laws for your area before use.

Small Pet Casket 2

$ .99

You can bury your small pet lizard, bird, or mouse in this printable casket. Inner dimensions are 140 mm long, 93 mm wide, and approximately 116 mm tall. You could scale the design to fit your requirements. Please print this in PLA or another biodegradable filament. Also check your local ordinances as to laws regulating the burial of pets.

Small Urn

This is a small urn to hold the cremated remains of a pet or very small baby. The volume is about 1/2 cup which translates into about 7 cubic inches, meaning your pet or baby would need to be about 7 pounds in order for the cremated remains to fit within. It could also be used as a memento urn should the family wish to distribute the cremated remains. You could scale the design up, but there’s a bit of an overhang on the top which may prove difficult without supports. Print in ABS if you want to ensure longevity of the urn.

$ .99

Clamshell Box

This clam shell style box is a versatile type of enclosure for whatever you need. May really work great as something to put that engagement ring in? It could be scaled down to be used to present a ring to your lady friend. It could be scaled larger if you need. Just be aware that the larger you go the bigger the gap may become and more difficult removing the supports will be when you want the hinge to turn. Definitely print this at 20% infill with supports.

$ .49

Cowabunga Skater Business Card Holder

Simple business card holder that was inspired by skater attitude. This happy dude will be glad to be part of your radical business and bring attention to your cards.

$ .99

Bug Catcher

This device uses a clear 8 oz cup that can be glued into the top ring. It has the ability to be extended if you or your budding Entomologist doesn't want to get too close to the insects being captured, just simply insert a 5/16" dowel into the holes in the handles. There are two small hooks for adding a spring so it will automatically close.

Artsy Emergency Candlesticks

$ .99

Four designs for emergency candlesticks. I would print these at least 30 percent infill. Please watch your candles and make sure that they do not burn all the way down as the plastic is flammable.

Artistic Candle Holders

$ .99

These artistic candlestick holders are designed to use emergency style candles. It is best to print them on their side with supports and clean them up. I would suggest at least 20 % infill. Warning: Be certain to monitor them and put out before the flame can begin to burn the plastic.

Twisty Candlestick

Artsy candlestick holder. Print at least 25% infill. Be careful not to let the candle burn all the way down or it may catch the plastic on fire.

$ .99

Twisty Candlestick
Multi Candlestick Holder

These candlestick holders have been designed to hold a dining candle, tea candle, or emergency candle (with insert). There are five designs, but only two pictured. I would suggest at least 20 % infill. Warning: Be certain to monitor them and put out before the flame can begin to burn the plastic.

$ .99

PVC Shelf Hooks

If you own PVC shelves then you're probably already using them to hang stuff off of, why not make it easier by adding these? The top one fits directly into the hole in the shelf and the other one can be zip tied directly to the PVC pipe.

$1.99

PVC Dowel Mount

$1.49

This is a solution to having binders, notebooks, etc. from falling through when stood upright. It uses a 1/2 inch dowel and four screws to mount it to the PVC pipe. You could also mount it between two PVC Shelf units and use the dowels to hang stuff (maybe clothes) off of.

$1.99

PVC Shelf Caster Mount

Objects that allow you to install caster wheels to the bottom of a PVC Shelving system so that you can move them around easily. Should be printed at least fifty percent infill. Not intended to carry a lot of weight so be cautious of this when placing items onto the shelves. Requires four caster wheels and four screws to secure firmly. The STL files have 6, 10, 15, and 20 millimeter holes. I have included the FreeCAD model file so you can modify the cylinder labeled Caster Shaft Hole to customize for your purpose.

PVC Shelf Jewelry Hanger

$ .99

Hang your rings, necklaces, bracelets off your PVC Shelving unit for easy access.

PVC Shelf Clothespin

This device can be attached to a PVC Shelving unit with a zip tie in order to hang a picture or paper off for easy viewing.

Clothespin Bag Clip

$ .49

Device that can be used to keep any type of food bag clipped together.

Valentine’s Gifts

$ .99

The collection includes: triple twisty emergency candle holder, triple tea candle holder, ear rings, dual heart pendant, and an arch desk decoration.

Easter Egg Stencils

Stencils were inspired by discussions of an upcoming Easter egg dying session. The original thought was that you could pour hot candle wax through the stencil then take the egg out and dye it normally. The wax would seal the shell from the dye and you could scrape it off after drying. It may also be possible to use small paint brushes to decorate through the stencil. These stencils are designed to fit large grade AA eggs. I would print these at .2 mm layer height, 20% infill, facing with the flat part down with supports. (I found that the orientation was important to get the cross and chick one to successfully print.)

$ .99

Sanding Block

Print these out in at least 20% infill. I used an M5 x 15 mm Grub Screw and wing nut. Push the screw head onto the key, it may be very tight, and then push into the bottom part so that it is flat with the surface. Cut a 1/4 sheet of sandpaper and wrap around the bottom part. Place the top part on so that the sandpaper is sandwiched into the groove.You may want to add a washer and then put on the wing nut to hold things together.

$ .99

Upright Helping Handle

Please print at least 30% infill. You will need: four small wood screws, five screws/nuts that will fit in 5 mm holes, and two lengths of 1/2 inch dowel cut to suit your desired handle length. The attaching clamp part has been designed to allow for some adjustment to the width of the upright's original handle.

$ .99

Vacuum Screen and Tube Attachment

There's an arm mounted pallet that used 3/4 inch velcro to attach it to your wrist. There are two small pallets one for right and one for left handed use. There are three different texture/mixture style tools. Then there is what I call the multi-well paintbrush tool. The idea here is that you would use the central cup to put the brushes you're done with in while you can use the smaller cups along the rim in order to keep your brushes wet while you're not using them.

Pillowcase Shopping Bag

Pillowcase Grocery Bag With California’s new law banning plastic grocery bags and charging for paper ones this device will come in handy. One of the issues that have been brought up is how reusable bags will most likely not be as sanitary. Thus, the need to have bags that can easily be washed. (I don’t know about you, but I also didn’t like taking one company’s branded bag into another store.) Print the grommet parts at 100% infill and the handles at least 50% infill (the higher the stronger). Find a Pillowcase that you like with the understanding that the stronger the materials the more weight can be stored. Use the flat grommet parts and one handle to position near the middle of the open end. Use a pen to mark out the position of the holes to be cut in the fabric and repeat on the other side of the Pillowcase. Carefully cut the holes so they match the markings. Put the grommet parts with the grip through from the inside. Use some kind of glue that is not water soluble to both keep the holes from fraying and help keep the grommets together. Push the flat pieces of the grommets onto the grips and repeat for the other side. Set aside to allow the glue to dry. Once dry you can put the handles through the holes and your bag is finished. I would suggest only washing in cold water and hang drying. I believe that the dryer temps would melt or deform these 3D printed plastics.

Pillowcase Bag Frame

$ .99

One of the issues I saw with my pillowcase bag was that it would be rather limp and a bit hard to fill at the check stand. I created this to solve that issue and hopefully help out the courtesy clerks a bit. The frame can fold slightly to allow easier placement into the bag and to take up a little less room when empty. You could use some kind of ties that can be undone at the top so that it can be removed when you want to clean the pillowcase. I bought four 3/16 inch dowels which I cut up to fit my pillowcase creating four 19 inch, four 11 3/8 inch, and eight 2 1/4 inch long pieces. I know there are at least two different size pillowcases so you may need to adjust to fit your needs. You will need eight of the corner forks, four of the regular forks, and twelve of the ball ends. I suggest at least fifty percent infill to give them strength. When assembling the joints it is best to push the ball directly into the fork in a straight manner as trying to push the ball in sideways may sheer off the ball along the print grain. You may find that a little glue to help hold the dowels in place may help, especially if they’re not exactly 3/16 inch.

Painting Gizmos

$ .99

I would print these out at least 30% infill. Attaches to an extension tube of a vacuum to add the ability to have a storage tube made of one inch PVC pipe and a movable screen that will keep items from being sucked up. Design uses eleven 4 mm screws/nuts, a spring, and a piece of a ballpoint pen tube as part of the screen hinge. I used crochet nylon for the string that connects from the handle to the screen.

Redneck Automatic Door Closer

$ .99

Ever wanted a door to close by itself? This may be your solution.
Non-Printed Parts:
2 208 bearings (same as used in many roller skates and skateboards)
3 Wood Screws
3 plastic inserts (if you want to install this in drywall)
Weed wacker/trimmer line
2 screws (approximately 4 mm diameter) 1/2” long
Small Hook
Rocks/Sand/Dirt –(to fill the weight with)

Assemble the 208 bearings with the Bearing Line Guide Connector and 608 Bearing Line Guides. Use the two screws to connect these to the Bearing Line Guide Bracket. Use the three screws to install this nearest the top of the door on the wall. Screw the hook into the top of the door about 3 inches away from the corner. Fill the weight with your chosen material and screw it together. Cut about six feet long length of the trimmer line. Tie one end to the top part of the weight. Run the line through the bearing line guides so that the line goes over the bearing closest to the wall and around the horizontal bearing and then through the hook. Adjust the length of the line by opening the door fully and making sure that the weight hangs down about 3-4 inches from the bracket. Tie the line to the hook and then use some pliers to squeeze the hook closed. Cut off any excess line. You can then adjust the amount of material in the weight so that the door closes but doesn’t slam. Many factors can play interference with the way the ease of the door closing (such as hinges with paint on them, rust, and lubrication).

I would suggest at least 50% infill on the bracket and 20% on all other parts.

You won’t want to use this design if you or your visitors are taller than your door as you don’t want to clothesline anyone. Warning if you have cats they may find this to be tempting as a new toy. Depending on the speed of movement of the door it may also cause some marks if the weight bangs against the wall.

This device is for single folk that don't have someone else around to assist in cutting their hair. The nape/back of the neck is the hardest to attempt to cut in a straight line by yourself. Requires two screws and washers to attach the rear adjusting bracket. You can adjust the earpieces using the screw on parts.

$ .99

Neck Hair Trimmer Guide
