Modular Smart Bird Cage
Created 6 days ago
Description
What it's for
A fully modular, 3D-printable bird cage designed to house an integrated IoT monitoring system. Featuring an electronics enclosure tucked below the cage, a dedicated sensor platform, and a front control panel, this project provides a clean FDM-optimised chassis for tracking conditions without exposing wiring or sharp geometry to the bird.
Dimensions
- Overall Footprint: 140 mm × 140 mm
- Total Height: 200 mm
- Wall Thickness: 2.5 mm grid walls, 2 mm shells
- LCD Opening: 71 mm × 24 mm (standard 16×2 layout)
Materials
- Recommended: PETG or ABS for durability and sanitisation
- Electronics base can be PLA, but PETG handles hardware and enclosure heat better
- Cage prints efficiently flat without supports if the faces are split appropriately
Print notes
- The model is assembled to preview the 10 distinct modules. When preparing to print, separate the parts to orient them flat on the bed.
- Use 2 to 3 wall perimeters for structural rigidity on the 2.5 mm frame sections.

Vision Scale Control Box
A structured, dual-bay hardware enclosure tailored to house both an ESP32-CAM and an HX711 load cell amplifier. Built with a unified form factor to keep a vision-based smart scale or sensor node tidy, this shell manages the boards, wiring, and thermal exhaust in one place. Internal Layout: Features independent standoff patterns spaced for standard ESP32-CAM and HX711 module footprints. FDM Optimized: Horizontal ventilation tracks on the side walls print cleanly without supports. Cable Management: Drop-in U-slots on either end allow cables to be seated before securing the lid, avoiding tricky wire threading. Hardware Required: Fits standard M3 self-tapping screws for the lid, and features built-in outer flanges for securing to a bench or wall.
Manta Contour Console Grips
Echoing the sweeping, organic lines of marine life, these bionic-contoured grips transform a rigid, slim handheld into a natural extension of the hands. The bulbous outer shell fills the empty space of a relaxed grip, completely banishing the cramped claw-hand fatigue of marathon sessions. A precision-channeled core seamlessly bites onto the edges of the device without crowding the action. Design Specs The Swell: Sweeps 25mm outward from the console body to fully support the lower palm. The Fit: Parallel channels lock cleanly over a 10mm chassis edge, utilizing lead-in chamfers for a smooth, scrape-free slide. The Clearance: A minimalist 4mm front lip ensures thumbs never collide with the plastic while reaching for the D-pad. The Fabrication: Symmetrical vertical extrusions designed to sit flat on the build plate without requiring supports.
FocusLine — Reader Aid Ruler
A low-profile reader aid and metric ruler designed to block out surrounding text on standard A4 pages, keeping focus on a single line. Features Reading Window: 170mm wide slot precisely sized for A4 documents. Metric Ruler: 18cm top edge with 1mm increments for quick measurements. Personalized: Raised name plate with elegant diamond accents. Print Notes Prints perfectly flat with no supports required. Add a filament swap at 2.0mm to highlight the text and accents against the base.
Funda Galaxy A20e pablo
Funda rígida diseñada específicamente para las dimensiones del Samsung Galaxy A20e (147,4 × 69,5 × 8,3 mm), incorporando márgenes de tolerancia estructurales para facilitar la inserción del dispositivo. La cara trasera presenta el nombre "Pablo" integrado en relieve volumétrico sólido, utilizando la fuente seleccionada para maximizar la resistencia de las letras. Material recomendado: PLA, PETG o TPU (dependiendo de la flexibilidad deseada). Relieve de texto: 1,5 mm, extruido hacia el exterior. Tolerancias: +0,6 mm en ejes X e Y para un acople por fricción sin forzar la estructura. Perforaciones: Cámara principal dual, lector de huellas dactilares trasero, botonera lateral completa y acceso inferior (USB-C/Audio/Altavoz).
DataStack — Enclosure Core
A lightweight, 4-bay enclosure body for 2.5" SATA HDDs. Features Stripped-down chassis with extensive material-saving cutouts Integrated rails for 4 drives Rear bosses for mounting a custom PCB backplane Designed to be printed on end (resting on the back faces) to avoid internal supports.
Armored Tank Echo Dot Mount
This heavy-armor dock turns an Echo Dot (3rd Gen) into the turret of a miniature battle tank. The hull and track assemblies form a rugged, heavy-looking base, while the top drops the smart speaker flush into the turret housing. Compatibility: Exactly dimensioned for the 3rd Gen Echo Dot (100.5mm cavity). Wire Routing: Recessed channel out the rear deck clears the power cord. Print Volume: Compacted overall length fits cleanly on 180x180mm beds (like the A1 Mini). Details: Includes vented muzzle brake, road wheels, armor plates, and engine louvers.
