The "Improved Gears and Hands for MakerBot Clock" has become the Improved MakerBot Clock now, because I've added the base, face, and washer as individual .stl files. The washer is just a 0.5mm part of the original face plate that's meant to press on...

This is an engineered laser cut hood with bespoke printed components for a highly customizable Makerbot replicator 2 build platform, designed specifically to boost overall print quality, particularly during the harsh winter months, and minimize the...

SummaryWith the colder weather here, I needed a way to attach some lexan to my makerbot to keep some of the heat in. Here are some simple little clips I made that slide onto the plywood and will hold a piece of plexi or lexan. You can probably get...

Rebuilding my beloved Makerbot dual clone. Equipped with Dual E3D V6 extruders and auto bed leveling technology. Layer height is set to 0.2 millimeters for precise printing. Layer width is configured at 0.4 millimeters for optimal results. Infill...

For better air circulation while 3D printing with ABS filament, I purchased a 120mm computer fan (ThermalTake High Performance 120mm fan) and designed two brackets to hold it in place on the left side opening of my MakerBot. These brackets were...

... line 6 (blank), line 5 (Greenwich, Ct 06830), line 4 (72 Greenwich Avenue), line 3 (est. 2013), and line 2 (Makerbot Store). ...Use the font 'write/orbitron.dxf' with a font size of 8, slit width of 4, corner radius of 3, and plate thickness of 3.

Inspired by tbuser and avrgeek's work, I created an OpenSCAD module for MakerBot Industries' Designer Block font by K-Type. The free personal-use font requires a paid license for commercial use; my Thing is licensed accordingly. If you have the...

I have a Makerbot Mini, and OK, the small spools.... and plenty of 2Kg PLA options on large ones. So here is my simple/stupid adapter that lets you use a Mini on any spool. Instructions Print out...

A rail-mounted Endstop designed for Makerbot v1.2 Mechanical Endstops is now available, fitting on a 16mm linear rail. Its simple and robust construction ensures that your 3D printer won't self-destruct. In addition to turning off motor movement with...

In this YouTube video, a MakerBot extruder is featured on a BFB tool due to the ease of acquiring parts and nozzles in the USA. Additionally, an adapter bracket is created to keep the PTFE in place when clamped by the plexiglass cover. For those BFB...

For personalization, you can utilize options such as card_type = 56, bottom_text_font = write/orbitron.dxf, input, bottom_text_label, bottom_text_size = 14, top_text_font = write/orbitron.dxf, image_rotation = 0, Move_Top_Text_Up_Down = 60,...

While it remains a conjecture (blog post: http://mysd300.blogspot.com/2011/12/magic-screw-for-makerbots.html), it's an innovative solution to the problem. To start, build the three STL files as provided, and if necessary, tweak them or edit...

This is an adapter to allow you to use most third party filament spools on a Makerbot Replicator+ printer. This uses the factory spool mount, and is designed to be printed without any support. Due to the DFAM required to print with no support,...

I heartily welcome our new Makerbot dictators. As an ardent supporter of the LeFabShop robot, I've identified one issue with it, apart from its alarming lack of firepower. Unfortunately, too much weight is concentrated at the rear end, rendering him...

MakerBot Makers Using the following settings: topLetterSpacing: increased by 20% xOffset: optimized for precision baseThickness: raised to perfection at 3 units baseWidth: broadened to an impressive 235 units baseHeight: elevated to a stunning 58...

Sailfish users should note that bed leveling differs from standard Makerbot procedures. Ensure proper fitment and consider shortening the probe lead if necessary. Avoid gluing the unit in place for easy battery replacement. Be cautious of leads...

... the payload that would have been taken up by solar panels, which will save millions of dollars in launch costs and generate much more power. Assembly of the printed design is necessary for making the model printable by a MakerBot Replicator™.

The author hasn't tested the design yet with a MakerBot but is progressing towards it. They seek feedback on successful prints made using this design. To assemble, laser cut both parts, noting the hairline thickness for cuts and other thickness for...

This is a vital setup for a Makerbot Digitizer scanning process that I've found indispensable to eliminate distractions and ensure high-quality scans. Eliminating factors such as stray light sources, individuals wearing reflective clothing, and other...

Even Makerbot's mascot helps in the process of making. MTOMbot accepts filament 3/1.75 on top of its head exiting the bottom. The front and back medallions open to reveal supports for holding permanent markers for the coloring of filament. Is that...

With Makerbot's acquisition by Stratasys, the 3D printing industry is witnessing significant changes. As Stratasys seeks to expand its market share, it raises questions about which companies could be next in line for acquisitions. Makezine reported...

FOOD- the makerbot mars base has a tall building seperate from the main dome that has curved windows to capture light. inside is a green house for growth of plants and food. TRANSPORTATION- because of its remote location their is a landing pad for...

The original pulleys at the front of my Makerbot Z18 are made of steel, featuring steel shafts. One of these pulleys fractured under stress and another is showing signs of wear due to the lack of a bushing on this connection. We created this idler...

Additionally i built in 2 pre-drilled mounting points onto the plate to fix it into the back frame or cabinet using 1 simple twist-tie tie screw with minimal extra assembly involved - however I ended up just sticking with using some more regular...

This is a remix of the popular MakerBot headphone stand. I did not like a couple of things about this design - I wanted a curved surface for the headphones to sit on, and while the original design is very elegant, some of the surfaces don't come out...

It's 10 degrees conical and should fit snugly, but I made it with a 0.1 mm offset so it sits a bit lower than flush, which is completely intentional and will not be visible in daily use. Leaving the old version up for those who want it - they look...

... ...The device projects the build platform onto a screen for class demonstrations. ...To use this item, follow the instructions provided for the original webcam attachment and replace the default webcam clamp with this piece on the last arm segment.

This holiday season, get creative with TinkerCAD's festive maker projects! Design and build your own unique Christmas decorations, gifts, and more using this user-friendly 3D modeling software. With TinkerCAD, you can bring your imagination to life...

I was given a MakerBot Mini, and one of the first things I noticed was how weak and flimsy the support that holds the gantry that the Smart extruder clips on to is. The horrid little plastic recess slots around a metal plate in a way that's just...

The entire project was designed using TinkerCad, then imported into SketchUp to create the logo image and capture a screenshot. The instructions seem clear regarding the assemblage of parts. Both hand and arm files need duplication. However, one leg...
