Chunky Tumble-Block Dog Toy
Created 1 months ago
Description
This erratic geometric puzzle turns feeding time into a chaotic, engaging challenge. Squatting at a deliberately massive 80mm form factor, the heavy cube utilizes heavily swept, exaggerated corners to prevent standard rolling, forcing the geometry into an unpredictable, bouncing tumble across the floor. Embedded within the block is a hollow core breached by eight offset holes, meaning the reward only drops when it lands on the exact right face.
Design Mechanics
- Stochastic Tumbling: Swept corners guarantee an irregular, frustratingly fun bounce path that resists standard nose-rolling.
- Scattered Exit Paths: Eight 15mm teardrop-profiled points intersect the internal cavity at varying heights, trapping treats against interior flat walls until the block is fully inverted.
- Monolithic Silhouette: A chunky, un-chewable footprint designed to encourage batting and pawing rather than biting.

80mm Cubic Dog Treat Dispenser
What it's for This solid-body treat dispenser encourages dogs to actively play for their food. The blocky exterior with heavily rounded edges causes erratic tumbling behaviour when pushed, keeping the toy unpredictable across the floor. As it rolls, kibble or treats fall randomly from the scattered ports. Dimensions Overall Size: 80mm x 80mm x 80mm footprint. Dispensing Ports: 15mm diameter, distributed across various faces. Internal Cavity: 70mm hollow core for holding treats. Print notes The internal chamber ceiling is heavily chamfered, allowing the entire structure to print in place without requiring internal supports. Use a tough, impact-resistant filament like PETG or TPU with high infill and thick walls to withstand teeth and hard floors. Remix ideas Modify the hole diameters to perfectly match a specific brand of treats or kibble. Change the corner rounding radius to adjust how wildly the toy bounces. Cut the model in half and add a threaded joint for easier cleaning, if chewing durability isn't the primary concern.
Ancient Duelist: Free Bounce
A 3D-printable proxy dueling card for house games. This layout trades out standard monsters for a red cup bounce shot, leaving the description box filled with scaled-up, illegible hieroglyphs. Card Details Title: Free Bounce Art: Single bounce path into a table cup Text: Ancient mystery symbols (house rules apply) Printing: Raised features across a multi-depth plate, perfect for color swaps on the top layers.
Wide Brim Elliptical Hat
Here's a baseline wide-brimmed hat shell, anchored around the 170x200mm elliptical clearance requested. It is built flat to maximize bed adhesion for large-format printers, treating the build plate as the brim's reference plane. The dome is a simple half-ellipsoid that covers the core geometry, leaving plenty of room for modifications. Remix Hooks Crown Height: Set to a default 100mm. Scale the Z-axis of the crown geometry if you need a taller top hat or a shallower boater profile. Brim Contour: It is completely flat right now to survive the first layer on a 400x400mm bed. You could run a slight Z-warp over the outer 50mm to give it a swoop, though that will require supports. Material: At 2.4mm thick, this is dimensioned for standard rigid filaments (PETG/PLA) to hold its shape. Dialing the thickness down to 1.2mm for TPU would give the brim some authentic flop.
50mm Strap Castleman Stroller Tag
A two-tone stroller tag built to ride on a standard 50mm webbing strap or carabiner. The mounting slot clears most heavy-duty hook-and-loop closures without binding. Mounting Bore: 50x6mm Dimensions: 110x65mm Profile: Flat multi-level face for easy two-color filament swaps. Designed specifically for the Castleman family, carrying a classic '95' racing motif.
Smooth Swept-Wing Flexi Butterfly
A robust print-in-place flexi butterfly with perfectly sweeping, organic wing shapes. I stripped out the old jagged polygon boundaries and replaced them with tangent arcs—giving the wings a true biological sweep while keeping the hinge exactly where it needs to be. The antennae are anchored deep into the head block, so they'll actually survive a drop or two. Remix hooks Wing span: Currently sweeps out to roughly 108mm across. You can pull the outer hull coordinates further out for a longer wingspan. Vein pattern: Driven by basic hulls intersecting the wing body. Easy to swap in your own grid or voronoi generator. Hinge tolerance: Locked at 0.4mm clearance on the barrels and pins, which works beautifully for standard PLA. If your printer over-extrudes, scale the pin down slightly.
Sinking Wireframe Football Skeleton
What it's for An open-lattice prolate spheroid designed to mimic the profile of an American football. The heavy tubular skeleton construction ensures no air gets trapped, allowing the model to sink gracefully when printed in a dense material. All outer surfaces are built from rounded profiles to eliminate sharp edges. Dimensions Length: 220 mm Diameter: 130 mm at the equator Rib Thickness: 16 mm tubular cross-section Print notes The model features a flattened tip at one end to provide a stable resting face for the print bed. To ensure it sinks effectively, print using a naturally dense filament with 100% infill. Extensive supports will be required to handle the overhanging horizontal rings and upper archway.
