Split Snap-Fit Birdhouse
Created today
Description
A split-body birdhouse designed for tiny printers, featuring lap siding, keyhole wall mounts, built-in feeding cups, and custom text.
The main hurdle with small build volumes is Z-height limitations. Slicing the birdhouse straight down the middle solves this by turning a tall footprint into two shallow halves. It's been modeled with built-in alignment pegs and holes right in the wall cavities, meaning the two halves press-fit together flawlessly.
Slicing Instructions
- Orientation: Drop both halves into your slicer and use the auto-lay-flat tool to place their wide cut faces flat on the bed.
- Scale: Thanks to the split, the total assembled height is now 109mm. Because they are split, the halves can be rotated diagonally to fit easily within a 100x100mm plate limit.
- Supports: None needed. The awning, feeding cups, and pitched roof are all engineered to bridge cleanly from the flat split plane upwards.

Aura — Fitted Twisted Pendant
Introducing the Aura pendant shade, strictly tailored to fit on standard 210mm print beds. The flowing, twisted ribbons form a striking teardrop silhouette, capturing light and shadow with an elegant, organic feel. Dimensions & Specs Scale: Fits comfortably within a 210mm cube (205mm height, 200mm maximum diameter). Structure: 32 spiraling ribs, reinforced to a robust 1.8mm width for a full, sturdy profile that prints without supports. Mounting: Built with a standard E27 pendant socket ring at the top and a wide-open base for clean downward lighting. Designed to be printed as a single, durable piece.
Anti-Spill Armrest Caddy
Sofa arms are basically designed to launch drinks onto the rug the second you shift your weight. This drops a rigid U-channel over the armrest to bridge the gap, locking down a flat staging plate on one side and a deep cup holder into the other. Specifications Total Length: 200 mm Inner Channel Width: 185 mm (verify this clears your sofa arm) Cup Holder: 80 mm diameter, 32 mm depth Print Specs: Prints hollow to save time and material. No supports needed if your bridging is dialled in.
120mm Self-Watering Planter
A 120mm diameter by 120mm tall self-watering planter designed to keep moisture-sensitive plants like basil alive. The bottom 30mm acts as a dedicated water reservoir, separated from the soil by a perforated platform and a central wicking column. A built-in fill tube routes water directly to the base, while a side window at the 15mm mark provides a visual water level check and acts as a hard overflow drain to prevent drowning the roots. Starting Points for Remixing Scale and Proportions: Overall footprint is 120x120mm. Stretching the Z-axis is straightforward, but requires manually offsetting the 30mm platform and 15mm overflow window to maintain the reservoir geometry. Platform Flow: The internal drainage perforations are currently set to 3.5mm. Widen these for coarse chunky soil mixes, or tighten the grid spacing for more aggressive root aeration. Wicking Column: The central 40mm wicking cone drops to the base with 10mm side slits. Depending on the soil's capillary action, adjusting the slit height changes how quickly the topsoil hydrates. Print Pairings: Prints as one solid piece without supports. Best paired with PETG for long-term water tightness and UV resistance if placed on a windowsill.
Scatola Bticino Matix Flangiata
Scatola esterna su misura per alloggiare un interruttore della serie BTicino Matix, progettata per l'accoppiamento con un pannello alimentatore. Sede frutto: Foro centrale 22.5 x 45.0 mm ottimizzato per incastro a scatto Matix. Fissaggio asimmetrico: Flange sfalsate per adattarsi alla struttura (interasse 40 mm, dislivello Z 26 mm). Passacavi: Doppia uscita posteriore da 8 mm. Stampa: Coperchio ottimizzato per stampa a faccia in giù senza supporti.
Scandi Flared Coat Hook
What it's for A minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired wall hook for coats, bags, or towels. The flared cap prevents items from slipping off while maintaining a soft, continuous profile. It mounts using a single countersunk screw through the center, with a deep counterbore that allows the screw head to sit well below the surface—ready to be left exposed or covered with a standard 9.5mm wooden plug. Dimensions Length: 63 mm from the wall. Diameters: 22 mm at the wall base, tapering to 16 mm at the neck, and flaring to a 38 mm cap. Hardware: 5 mm through-hole with a 9.5 mm counterbore (suits a standard #8 or #10 wood screw). Print notes The flare angle is kept under 45 degrees, meaning this prints cleanly standing straight up on its base without any supports. If you want a smoother finish on the front face, you can flip it 180 degrees in your slicer and print it face-down (the chamfers and rounding will print perfectly either way).
Reinforced 8mm Irrigation Y-Splitter
A heavily reinforced Y-shaped hose connector built specifically to merge two fluid lines into one. Designed for 8mm inner-diameter flexible tubing, it uses a solid central hub rather than thin overlapping walls, ensuring the part handles pressure without snapping at the junction. The internal geometry is sculpted to maintain flow: a 6mm channel through the main body prevents a bottleneck at the merge, smoothly necking down to 5mm inside the barbs to guarantee thick, watertight perimeters where the plastic gets thinnest. A precision flat cut on the underside allows the entire assembly to drop straight onto the build plate, completely eliminating the need for support material. Remix Hooks & Constraints Hose Fit: The double barbs peak at 8.5mm OD and drop to a 7.2mm valley, grabbing 8mm ID silicone or vinyl hose tightly. Print Settings: Built for PETG or ABS. Use 4 to 5 perimeters to ensure watertightness and maximum mechanical strength against bending forces. Scaling: Scaling up works cleanly for larger hose (e.g., 125% for 10mm ID), but scaling down is not recommended as the internal channel will restrict flow and the walls may drop below the required thickness for a watertight seal.
