Cascada — Staggered Desktop Fountain
Created 1 months ago
Description
Cascada introduces a compact, terraced water feature designed to bring a quiet sense of motion to your desk or living space. Staggered square bowls rest on gently chamfered geometric pillars, alternating between a wide blade waterfall and a concentrated U-channel spout. It's built cleanly around a standard miniature 5mm pump setup.
Features
- Alternating Spouts: Each tier drops into the next via a different profile—switching smoothly between a rounded drop-off blade and a semi-circular channel guide.
- Integrated Routing: A built-in funnel intake at the base connects straight to your pump tube, while a discrete retaining ring holds the top spout securely.
- Support-Free Tiers: The geometry tapers dynamically under each bowl at a safe 45-degree angle to print safely with zero added supports.
Setup Notes
Sized for a classic 100mm desktop footprint. Feed a standard 5mm outer-diameter silicone or PVC line from your mini pump at the bottom, through the back channel, and lock it into the top guide loop. Flow levels are tuned to keep roughly 12mm of depth per bowl before spilling over.

Aura — Fitted Twisted Pendant
Introducing the Aura pendant shade, strictly tailored to fit on standard 210mm print beds. The flowing, twisted ribbons form a striking teardrop silhouette, capturing light and shadow with an elegant, organic feel. Dimensions & Specs Scale: Fits comfortably within a 210mm cube (205mm height, 200mm maximum diameter). Structure: 32 spiraling ribs, reinforced to a robust 1.8mm width for a full, sturdy profile that prints without supports. Mounting: Built with a standard E27 pendant socket ring at the top and a wide-open base for clean downward lighting. Designed to be printed as a single, durable piece.
Anti-Spill Armrest Caddy
Sofa arms are basically designed to launch drinks onto the rug the second you shift your weight. This drops a rigid U-channel over the armrest to bridge the gap, locking down a flat staging plate on one side and a deep cup holder into the other. Specifications Total Length: 200 mm Inner Channel Width: 185 mm (verify this clears your sofa arm) Cup Holder: 80 mm diameter, 32 mm depth Print Specs: Prints hollow to save time and material. No supports needed if your bridging is dialled in.
Compact 90-Degree Elbow Pipe
What it's for A highly compact 90-degree pipe elbow designed to route fluids or air in tight spaces. Instead of a long, sweeping plumbing radius, this model pulls the corner in as tight as physically possible—bringing the outer inner corner to a sharp point while maintaining a 2 mm smooth transitional radius on the interior flow path to prevent sharp turbulence. Dimensions Outer Diameter: 60 mm Inner Diameter: 56 mm Wall Thickness: Constant 2 mm Straight Sections: 30 mm on each end Print notes Orient the pipe flat on its side (as positioned by default) to print entirely without supports. A brim may be helpful depending on bed adhesion, though the large flat contact patch is usually sufficient.
Split Snap-Fit Birdhouse
A split-body birdhouse designed for tiny printers, featuring lap siding, keyhole wall mounts, built-in feeding cups, and custom text. The main hurdle with small build volumes is Z-height limitations. Slicing the birdhouse straight down the middle solves this by turning a tall footprint into two shallow halves. It's been modeled with built-in alignment pegs and holes right in the wall cavities, meaning the two halves press-fit together flawlessly. Slicing Instructions Orientation: Drop both halves into your slicer and use the auto-lay-flat tool to place their wide cut faces flat on the bed. Scale: Thanks to the split, the total assembled height is now 109mm. Because they are split, the halves can be rotated diagonally to fit easily within a 100x100mm plate limit. Supports: None needed. The awning, feeding cups, and pitched roof are all engineered to bridge cleanly from the flat split plane upwards.
Silicone Sealing Washer
This is a flexible sealing washer designed to fit between a tap adapter and a tap connection. It provides a watertight seal when compressed. Dimensions Outer Diameter: 28 mm Inner Diameter: 20 mm Thickness: 3 mm Material Notes While modeled here as a solid, the physical part should be printed in a flexible filament like TPU, or cast in silicone, to function as a proper seal.
Ballasted Tomato Planter With Cage
Dwarf tomato plants inevitably turn into top-heavy messes that tip over their cheap nursery pots, and generic wire cages never quite fit the rim. This solves both. A heavy-bottomed, 12-inch tall planter shaped specifically to keep a top-heavy plant grounded. The wide 10-inch base drops into an 8-inch waist before swelling back out to give the root ball room, ending in an 8-inch mouth. The bottom inch detaches as a flush-fit drainage saucer, while the rim features deep, built-in sockets. The included custom cage drops directly into those sockets for a rigid 4-inch scaffold that won't slide sideways in the dirt. Sizing & Assembly Total Volume: ~3.2 gallons. Clearances: 0.5mm slip-fit for the saucer joint, 1mm clearance for the cage legs dropping into the rim. Layout: The pot, saucer, and cage are laid out side-by-side. The pot requires a 300x300mm class Z-axis to print at its intended 12-inch scale.
