Helix — Open-Frame Twisted Fin Lamp Shade
Created today
Description
Helix is a flared lamp shade with no solid wall. 72 thin fins spiral through a 60° twist as the shade widens from the base to the top, and three low reinforcing rings hold the whole frame together. The result reads like a lantern or woven cage, and the light comes through as spiralling slats of shadow.
The fins and rings are matched on purpose: each fin reaches inward only as far as the rings do, so the inner edge stays clean from bottom to top. A small spoked fitter ring at the base seats the shade over a lamp holder.
Dimensions
- Height: 130 mm
- Base diameter: about 90 mm
- Top diameter: about 140 mm
- Twist: 60° over the full height
Features
- 72 twisted, flared fins, 1.2 mm thick
- Three low-profile rings at the bottom, middle and top, 3.5 mm tall
- Fin depth matched to the ring depth (about 6.6 mm at the base, scaling with the flare)
- Spoked fitter ring at the base, 3 mm tall
Print notes
- Print upright with the fitter ring on the plate.
- Slow speeds help, since the fins are thin.
- Use a cool LED bulb only. Fit to a specific socket is untested, so check the fitter ring against your holder.

Flat-Print A4 Picture Frame
A clean, single-piece A4 picture frame designed to print flat on large beds (like 360x360mm). It prints face-down to ensure a smooth front finish and requires zero supports. Integrated Keyholes: Built-in flush mounts for both portrait and landscape orientation. Drop-in Retainers: Six small twist-clips print alongside the frame in the empty center space. They drop into the pre-drilled holes on the back to lock your paper and cardboard backing firmly in place. Generous Recess: The back channel allows up to 2.5mm of clearance, leaving plenty of room for standard A4 paper paired with a corrugated cardboard or stiff card backing.

Lichtdurchlässig: Die Öffnungen gehen durch die innere Wand direkt bis ans Glas. Abwechslungsreich: Jedes zweite Haus bricht die Höhe und Breite auf. Stabiler Kern: Der Sockel aus vier gestapelten Rillenkugeln trägt die Konstruktion sicher.

SMG-11 is a life-size, non-functional display replica of the compact machine pistol from Rainbow Six Siege, built in the MAC-11 pattern.

Print the magazine separately, baseplate down. The well has about 0.3 mm clearance per side. Wire stock rods may need supports. Display piece only; it has no working mechanism.
Nelore BCS Display Base
What it's for A structured, segmented display base designed to present five cattle models demonstrating Body Condition Scores (BCS). Features an elegant multi-tiered design with distinct angled platforms, giving each figure a dedicated presentation space without structural clutter. Dimensions Overall footprint: 400 mm length x 100 mm width. Total height: 20 mm (10 mm main base, 5 mm middle tier, 5 mm individual platforms). Display pads: 65 mm x 40 mm, offset at a 25-degree angle. Split halves: 200 mm length each, designed to fit cleanly on standard 256x256 mm print beds. Print notes Orientation: Print both base halves flat on their bottoms. Print the pegs horizontally as oriented in the file for maximum shear strength across the layer lines.
