Smooth Swept-Wing Flexi Butterfly
Created today
Description
A robust print-in-place flexi butterfly with perfectly sweeping, organic wing shapes.
I stripped out the old jagged polygon boundaries and replaced them with tangent arcs—giving the wings a true biological sweep while keeping the hinge exactly where it needs to be. The antennae are anchored deep into the head block, so they'll actually survive a drop or two.
Remix hooks
- Wing span: Currently sweeps out to roughly 108mm across. You can pull the outer hull coordinates further out for a longer wingspan.
- Vein pattern: Driven by basic hulls intersecting the wing body. Easy to swap in your own grid or voronoi generator.
- Hinge tolerance: Locked at 0.4mm clearance on the barrels and pins, which works beautifully for standard PLA. If your printer over-extrudes, scale the pin down slightly.

Syrinx — C-Major Pan Flute
A printable, eight-note pan flute tuned roughly to a C-Major scale (C6 through C7). The pipes overlap to form a solid, rigid body, bound by a single structural band. I inverted the model so the blowing edge sits perfectly flat on the build plate—this guarantees a smooth lip interface and allows the entire instrument to print without a single support structure. Acoustics Scale: C-Major (C6, D6, E6, F6, G6, A6, B6, C7). Bore: 10mm internal diameter. Edge: Chamfered internally at the top to break the sharp corner. Print notes Print it exactly as oriented. The flat top faces the bed, and the closed ends of the pipes will be bridged internally. The 10mm bridges are small enough that any standard material will span them cleanly. Ensure your bed adhesion is dialled in, as the entire instrument rests on the rims of the pipes.
Printable 6-Hole Flute
A fully functional, 6-hole fipple flute designed to be printed entirely without supports. Standing 180mm tall, it fits nicely on most standard print beds when positioned vertically. The voicing window and blade are engineered with printability in mind: the internal angles act as clean overhangs, so the whistle mechanism forms sharply without needing extra plastic cleared out later. Height: 180mm Outer Diameter: 18mm Holes: 6 standard diatonic finger holes Print Orientation: Upright (mouthpiece at the top) Note: For the clearest tone, print with tight layer lines and ensure your printer's cooling fan is on full so the blade edge stays crisp.
80mm Cubic Dog Treat Dispenser
What it's for This solid-body treat dispenser encourages dogs to actively play for their food. The blocky exterior with heavily rounded edges causes erratic tumbling behaviour when pushed, keeping the toy unpredictable across the floor. As it rolls, kibble or treats fall randomly from the scattered ports. Dimensions Overall Size: 80mm x 80mm x 80mm footprint. Dispensing Ports: 15mm diameter, distributed across various faces. Internal Cavity: 70mm hollow core for holding treats. Print notes The internal chamber ceiling is heavily chamfered, allowing the entire structure to print in place without requiring internal supports. Use a tough, impact-resistant filament like PETG or TPU with high infill and thick walls to withstand teeth and hard floors. Remix ideas Modify the hole diameters to perfectly match a specific brand of treats or kibble. Change the corner rounding radius to adjust how wildly the toy bounces. Cut the model in half and add a threaded joint for easier cleaning, if chewing durability isn't the primary concern.
Wide Brim Elliptical Hat
Here's a baseline wide-brimmed hat shell, anchored around the 170x200mm elliptical clearance requested. It is built flat to maximize bed adhesion for large-format printers, treating the build plate as the brim's reference plane. The dome is a simple half-ellipsoid that covers the core geometry, leaving plenty of room for modifications. Remix Hooks Crown Height: Set to a default 100mm. Scale the Z-axis of the crown geometry if you need a taller top hat or a shallower boater profile. Brim Contour: It is completely flat right now to survive the first layer on a 400x400mm bed. You could run a slight Z-warp over the outer 50mm to give it a swoop, though that will require supports. Material: At 2.4mm thick, this is dimensioned for standard rigid filaments (PETG/PLA) to hold its shape. Dialing the thickness down to 1.2mm for TPU would give the brim some authentic flop.
High Roller — Casino Poker Chips
Classic casino-style poker chips ready for game night. Designed at regulation size (39mm diameter, 3.3mm thickness) but tailored for easy single-color printing, featuring embossed values that pop nicely, indented edge spots, and an accent rim. Each chip value is kept as a separate component for straightforward batch printing in their traditional colors. Features Regulation Sized: 39mm × 3.3mm standard dimensions. Double-Sided Embossing: Bold denomination values raised by 0.3mm to ensure they stand out without surpassing the protective rim. Casino Rim Details: Realistic edge notches and accent rings to capture the feel of standard clay chips. Flat Printing: Completely flat resting surface for effortless adhesion without supports. Print notes No supports needed. Print with 100% infill to give them a heavier, more authentic feel in the hand. A subtle color swap or painting the raised center text will make the values instantly readable across the table.
Hexagonal Space Wedding Planter
A simple, flat-faced hexagonal planter designed to tessellate easily for bulk printing. The straight walls ensure flawless surface details without the sagging you get on angled faces. Two of the faces feature vertical embossed text with small stars, and the remaining faces carry subtle celestial elements. Remix Hooks: Two faces are currently left entirely blank, making this a perfect canvas to map your own constellations, drop in an SVG logo, or add extra text. Dimensions: Roughly 90mm across the flats (45mm circumscribed radius) and 60mm tall, with a solid 3mm wall. Printing: Prints flat on the base with zero supports required. The straight sides allow them to pack tightly together on the build plate.
