Console Sequential Shifter
Created 5 days ago
Description
A print-in-place sequential shifter toy wrapped in a chunky closed-box console. The internal mechanics rely on built-in compliant flexures: leaf springs in the side walls create the tactile shift detents, while zigzag end-springs automatically snap the stick back to center after each throw.
Modification Hooks
- Console Shell: Currently 46x96mm and 26mm tall. It's built wide enough to house the 1.2mm wall flexures.
- Lever Travel: The top slot is 12x60mm, allowing the 10mm shifter shaft to travel far enough to clear the internal resistance bumps before the springs pull it back.
- Stick Profile: Swapping the 18mm spherical knob out for a cylindrical handle or a stylized top is a quick replacement in the code.

Mini Fidget Bottle
A scaled-down, pocket-friendly version of the fidget bottle. It still features the spin, slide, click, twist, and shake interactions, but now fits easily in the palm of a hand. Build details Scaled to 70% of original size. Expect tighter tolerances on the snap fits and sliders. Print slowly to ensure the scaled-down clearances don't fuse.
Print-in-Place Concentric Rings
A set of five concentric rings designed to print in place as a single piece. Excellent as a clearance test for your printer or just a satisfying desk fidget. Remix Hooks This design is built on a few key parameters that are begging to be tweaked depending on what you want to use it for: Wall Thickness: Currently set to 2mm for a solid feel. Clearance: Set to 0.4mm gap between rings. If your printer is finely tuned, drop this to 0.2mm or 0.3mm for tighter tolerances. Height: Currently 8mm, but you can scale this up on the Z-axis to turn them into nesting tubes. Inner Diameter: Starts exactly at 25mm to fit over standard dowels or large fingers.
Aero — Concept Car Glasses Dock
A sleek, aerodynamic monolithic glasses stand shaped like a concept car. Features Integrated Dock: Deep channel cuts straight across the front hood and fenders. Stable Stance: Solid body and integrated flush wheels prevent tipping. Print Ready: Single-piece design with rounded corners for easy printing.
Stepped Round Stamp Handle
A classic block-style handle designed to mount a 40mm round rubber stamp die. An embossed tactile arrow sits on the top face, pointing to 12 o'clock for immediate physical orientation before stamping. The stepped design keeps fingers clear of the ink while providing a solid grip post. Remix Hooks Base Dimensions: Currently 40mm in diameter and 10mm thick. Scale the diameter to match different stamp sizes, or thicken the plate to distribute pressure over a wider area. Grip Post: Set at a 25mm diameter and 30mm tall. Easily extended for larger hands, or swap the standard cylinder for a tapered profile. Orientation Marker: The top arrow is a simple 1mm extrusion. Swap the polygon for path text, an embossed logo, or a different tactile indicator.
Pocket Passive Phone Amplifier
A low-profile, solid-state acoustic amplifier designed to redirect downward-firing smartphone audio forward. Fits easily in a pocket or bag for travel, acting as both a stand and a passive volume booster for calls, media, or alarms. Footprint: 96mm × 56mm × 20mm Device Fitment: Slot accommodates phones and standard cases up to 86mm wide and 15mm thick. Mechanism: Funnels bottom-edge speaker output through an expanding internal hull to a front-facing acoustic vent. Printability: Prints in place without supports flat on its base.
Stage-Ready Drum Rack Tablet Console
A heavy-duty tablet console designed to mount directly to the horizontal crossbar of a standard electronic drum rack. Built with the working drummer in mind, this holder leans back at a comfortable reading angle for sheet music apps, metronomes, or playback tracks, and features an extra-deep lip to secure tablets in thick protective cases. Setup Notes Mounting: Snaps over any standard 1.5" (38.1mm) drum rack tube. Hardware: Requires two M6x40mm (or longer) bolts and matching M6 hex nuts to lock the clamp tight. The flanges include recessed hex traps so you only need one wrench to tighten them. Printing: For maximum strength against drum vibrations, lay the model flat on one of its side faces (so the large circular hole points straight up) during slicing. This aligns the layer lines along the clamping arm, making it virtually indestructible. No supports are needed in this orientation.
