Paper Fan Wing: Pinned Feather Assembly
Created today
Description
A paper-prototype fan wing translated into printable parts: nine flat, separate feathers, each pinned to its own pivot hole along an angled upper support. The feathers get longer toward the outer end, and their rounded tips overlap to form the curved lower edge of the wing. Each feather has a faint centerline groove.
Parts
- Upper support: one angled bar with nine pivot holes.
- Feathers (9): flat, 2 mm thick, with a pivot hole at the narrow end.
- Pins (9): a flat head under the support, then a collar that sets each feather's layer height.
- Caps (9): push-on retainers that hold the feathers on.
Views
- Open fan, folded stack and exploded layout, all on one plate.
Notes
- Pivots are 0.25 mm clear per side.
- Feathers are fanned by hand. No linkage is included yet.

Germania Relief — Wypukła Mapa Niemiec
Germania Relief to wypukła mapa Niemiec z rzeźbą terenu: cała powierzchnia jest lekko falista, także na nizinach, a góry wybijają się ponad nią. Wzniesienia mają gładkie, wielowarstwowe zbocza i nieregularne, powyginane obrysy zamiast regularnych owali. Cztery wyżłobione rzeki przecinają teren, a Ren jest wyróżniony zielonym wypełnieniem koryta, przyciętym do zarysu mapy, oraz tabliczką „Ren”. Znaczniki — trzy miasta, szczyt, Alpy, Ren i jeziora — są osobnymi elementami: leżą płasko obok mapy, bez dodatkowej podstawy, i pasują do gniazd w mapie. Całość czyta się jak dekoracyjna mapa reliefowa, a nie płaski plan. Najważniejsze cechy Ukształtowanie terenu w gładkich, wielowarstwowych zboczach, z Alpami wybijającymi się ponad resztę mapy i zieloną tabliczką „Alpy” Cztery rzeki, w tym Ren z zielonym wypełnieniem koryta przyciętym do zarysu mapy i podpisem; wypełnienie leży w korycie na mapie Trzy największe miasta — Berlin, Hamburg i Monachium — oznaczone wyjmowanymi słupkami z pionową tabliczką z wypukłym napisem Najwyższy szczyt Alp oznaczony wyjmowanym znacznikiem z kulką, kołkiem i tabliczką „Najwyzszy szczyt” Jeziora: Muritz, Bodensee i Steinhuder Meer — niebieskie wkładki w wycięciach, podpisane małymi tabliczkami Wyjmowane znaczniki leżą luzem obok mapy, bez podstawy; po przełożeniu wciska się je w gniazda mapy W zestawie Mapa Niemiec ok. 124 × 160 mm z gniazdami na znaczniki Wyjmowane znaczniki miast, szczytu, Alp, Renu i jezior, leżące płasko obok mapy Znaczniki nie mają osobnej podstawy Druk i montaż Model składa się z mapy i osobnych znaczników. Znaczniki są wciskane w gniazda mapy; pasowanie jest ciasne, więc luzy warto sprawdzić na wydruku. Najdrobniejsze elementy, jak kołek szczytu, są delikatne.
Amanda LED Strip Light Sign
A 100 × 40 mm lighted sign reading "Amanda" in Pacifico, built as three pieces: an opaque body, a thin white translucent letter layer, and a snap-in back cover. Run an LED strip inside the 12 mm deep cavity and the light shows only through the letters. Remix hooks Diffuser thickness (dif, 0.8 mm): thicker glows more evenly and hides LED dots; thinner is brighter. Print in white or natural PLA/PETG. Front wall (face, 1.6 mm): sets how deep the letters are inset. Print the body in a dark or opaque filament so light stays in the letters. Depth (D, 12 mm): increase for a wider strip or a double row of LEDs. Cover fit (clr, 0.2 mm): loosen or tighten for your printer; the 3 mm lip locates the cover. Cord notch: 8 mm wide at the bottom rear; move or widen for a USB lead or barrel jack. Pairs with a USB 5 V LED strip, or a small stand or wall-hanger remix. The counters of the "A" and "d" are separate islands in the body, so glue them to the diffuser sheet.
PostCrown — Metal T-Post Cap
PostCrown is a push-on cap for a metal T-post: a squared body with a T-shaped channel that drops over the post’s flange and web, topped by a solid round platform. The point is the platform — it turns the raw top of a fence post into a flat, 3-inch-wide round surface, useful for resting a drink, a tool or a marker while you work, and for capping off the sharp edges of the post itself. The internal slot is cut deliberately oversized so it clears the raised humps and ridge that run along many T-posts. The crossbar and stem have both been enlarged for that clearance, making it a slip-on rather than a press-fit: it settles over the post without hammering, and the platform stays level because the body bottoms out on the flange rather than wedging on the ridge. The cap stands 2.5 in (63.5 mm) tall overall, which keeps it compact on the post while leaving the full 1/4-inch platform thickness intact. Dimensions Overall height: 2.5 in (63.5 mm) Top platform: 76 mm round, 1/4 in (6.35 mm) thick, solid Body footprint: 48 × 52 mm Slot crossbar: 41 × 10 mm Slot stem: 9 mm wide, 34 mm deep Features T-shaped channel sized to clear the post’s raised humps and ridge, so it slides on without force Full-thickness 1/4-inch platform on top — solid material, not a ring with a hole through it Compact 48 × 52 mm body keeps the cap close to the post’s own profile Prints as one piece with no supports when oriented platform-down Print notes Print platform-down: the slot opens upward and needs no support that way The slot was set from typical T-post dimensions rather than a measurement of a specific post, so check your post’s flange width, web depth and material thickness if a snug or loose fit matters Compatibility Intended for common metal T-posts with a flange roughly 35 mm across; the slot is oversized to clear the post’s humps, but posts with heavier flanges or a thicker ridge may still need the slot adjusted
Light Box Picture Frame with Top Loading Slot
A lit picture needs a frame that holds the print flat, leaves room for the LEDs behind it, and gets the power lead out without pinching it. This is that frame: a single printed box with a pocket sized to the picture, a deep cavity behind it for the light source, and a slot along the top edge so the picture slides in without dismantling anything. Fit and build Outside: 223 × 220.9 × 33.5 mm. Picture pocket: 216.5 × 214.4 mm — 0.25 mm clearance per side on a 216 × 213.9 × 3 mm print. Front window: 208 × 205.9 mm, with a 4 mm retaining lip, 1.5 mm thick, around the opening. Lip overlap: it covers 4 mm of the picture's edge on every side, so the picture cannot slide out the front. Light cavity behind the picture: 30 mm deep, enough for an LED strip or panel. Loading: slide the picture in through the slot in the top edge. Cable: 10 mm notch in the bottom edge for a USB or power lead. The picture drops in from the top, the lip holds it at the edges while the rest stays lit, the wire leaves through the bottom where it should, and the whole thing prints as one piece.
Santa
A Funko-style snowman built as separate pieces: body, square head, top hat and two stick arms. The head has a 17.49 × 17.49 mm square pocket, 9.92 mm deep, in its flat underside. Fit notes Pocket: 17.49 × 17.49 × 9.92 mm in the head underside. Measure your mating part before printing. Head top: flat. The threaded post has been removed. Hat: still carries its threaded socket, so it does not screw onto this head as built. Not fitted: the body has no matching peg for the pocket.
