Flexi Baby Dragon
Created 4 days ago
Description
A fully articulated, print-in-place baby dragon. Built with six interlocking segments swinging on vertical captive hinges, it prints assembled and wiggles straight off the bed.
Making it yours
The joint math is solid, which leaves you free to mess with the shape:
- Scale: The default 0.5mm joint clearance scales well — you can safely blow this up 150% or 200% to make a desk toy without fusing the hinges.
- Limbs: The legs and wings are basic primitives tacked onto the torso and back segments. Perfect candidates to swap out for something wilder.
- Head: The front block is built out with basic eyes and horns, waiting for a proper sculpt.
Prints without supports. Let it cool before snapping the joints free for the first time.

RÖDALM — Beveled iPad Mount
Transform an IKEA RÖDALM picture frame into a flush, wall-mounted iPad display. This two-part adapter replaces the stock mat and securely holds a 5th-generation iPad without rattling. The front face features a deep 22mm chamfer that drops precisely down to the active screen area, giving it a premium gallery look. The entire assembly sits on your printer's bed face-down and prints support-free. Features Support-Free Design: The steep internal bevel means you can print this flat without supports, resulting in a pristine front face. Puzzle Lock: The two halves snap together at the centerline with extruded puzzle joints, aligning the faces perfectly. Continuous Power: An oversized bottom channel allows standard and right-angle Lightning cables to plug in and drop straight out the back, perfect for permanent wall mounting. Accessible: Dedicated cutouts for the home button, front camera, speakers, and side buttons. Cooling: Integrated back channels ensure passive airflow around the device. Print Notes Print face-down (the flat front face touching the build plate). No supports needed. Designed to comfortably fit on standard 220 × 220 mm beds.
200mm Solid Rabbit Figurine
A single-piece rabbit figurine modeled in a seated posture, actively eating a carrot. The model uses overlapping rounded geometries to form a continuous, watertight mesh with all limbs, ears, and accessories embedded directly into the core shape. The design is constrained for robust fused deposition modeling: Fixed Height: The top of the upright left ear defines a hard limit of exactly 200 mm. Base Stability: The underside is sliced flat at Z=0, joining the rear feet and body into a single massive footprint. Clearances & Bridging: The carrot anchors directly into the base gap between the feet, while the arms follow the body contour downward. No part floats in empty space. Minimum Dimensions: Fine details like leaf tips and ear points have been fattened to exceed standard 2 mm FDM tolerances. Overhangs: The drooping right ear and forearms are angled to remain printable without complex structural supports on standard 0.4 mm nozzles.
170mm Western Plaque
A 170mm pill-shaped wooden-style plaque featuring custom text and decorative stars. Designed to sit flat against a wall or shelf. Size: 170 mm × 100 mm × 8.5 mm. Features: Deep plank grooves running horizontally across the back plate. Font: Alfa Slab One, bracketed by twin five-point stars. Mounting: Flat back, suitable for command strips or leaning.
tapbay pillar stand
A tabletop pillar sign featuring vertically stacked text protruding prominently from the front and back faces. Vertical text layout: Letters run top to bottom down a straight central post. Double-sided: Readable from both the front and back faces. Heavy embossing: Text extrudes outwards for a bold, dimensional look. Stable base: A low-profile chamfered circular base keeps the pillar steady.
Ancient Temple Reptile Hide
A geometric, floorless hideout designed for small reptiles, shaped like an ancient stepped pyramid. It features two arched entryways to prevent the animal from feeling cornered and a built-in side altar that holds a perfectly fitted, drop-in water dish. The tiered shape isn't just aesthetic—it prints cleanly without any supports, and gives climbing species a textured surface to explore. Every exposed edge inside and out is lightly rounded to keep delicate scales safe, and the custom water bowl has a smoothed interior so you can wipe it out easily. Remixing and Sizing This design is built for standard enclosures and easy FDM printing, but scales predictably if you need to adjust it: Total Footprint: 210mm wide (including the altar) by 150mm deep, hitting right around the 8-inch mark. Hide Interior: Roughly 152mm x 142mm at the base, stepping inwards. Entrances: 45mm wide and 40mm tall—ideal for leopard geckos, smaller snakes, or juvenile beardies. Scale the whole model up uniformly if you have a larger animal. Water Bowl: 73mm diameter, holding about 70ml. If you lose it, the recess on the temple is exactly 75mm wide and 20mm deep, which easily fits a standard small deli cup or bottle cap depending on your scale.
iPad Picture Frame Adapter Rödlam 21x30
A two-part adapter plate that centers a 5th Generation iPad (9.7") inside an IKEA RÖDALM frame. It acts as a solid backing spacer, locking the tablet into the frame body while providing a cutout exactly the size of the active screen. The split design fits on a standard 220mm print bed and joins with simple flat printed tabs, avoiding overhangs entirely. Remixing and Adjustments Screen Cutout: Currently set to 197 × 148 mm. If you swap to an iPad with a different bezel ratio, you can adjust these dimensions to crop it cleanly. Frame Depth: The total block depth is 30 mm. Thinner frames will require cutting down the outer block height. Cable Routing: A 16 × 25 mm rear channel provides plenty of clearance for bulky aftermarket Lightning cables. Joints: Uses simple 11 × 14 mm rectangular biscuits. You can easily scale these or add more pairs for extra rigidity depending on your printer's tolerances.
