Test Tube Desk Vase
Created 1 months ago
Description
This single-stem desk vase stops printed plastic from weeping water and ruining the surface underneath. Instead of trying to hold water directly, the twisted octagonal shell acts as a structural sleeve for a standard glass test tube. The glass contains the water and the plant, while the wide base keeps the top-heavy tube from tipping over.
Fit and Print Details
- Bore: 16mm diameter, providing clearance for standard 15mm glass test tubes.
- Internal Depth: 140mm drop with a 10mm solid floor to catch the glass.
- Profile: 50mm wide at the base and 150mm tall, twisting exactly 90 degrees from top to bottom.
- Printing: Orient upright on the flat base. Requires no supports.

Ancient Temple Reptile Hide
A geometric, floorless hideout designed for small reptiles, shaped like an ancient stepped pyramid. It features two arched entryways to prevent the animal from feeling cornered and a built-in side altar that holds a perfectly fitted, drop-in water dish. The tiered shape isn't just aesthetic—it prints cleanly without any supports, and gives climbing species a textured surface to explore. Every exposed edge inside and out is lightly rounded to keep delicate scales safe, and the custom water bowl has a smoothed interior so you can wipe it out easily. Remixing and Sizing This design is built for standard enclosures and easy FDM printing, but scales predictably if you need to adjust it: Total Footprint: 210mm wide (including the altar) by 150mm deep, hitting right around the 8-inch mark. Hide Interior: Roughly 152mm x 142mm at the base, stepping inwards. Entrances: 45mm wide and 40mm tall—ideal for leopard geckos, smaller snakes, or juvenile beardies. Scale the whole model up uniformly if you have a larger animal. Water Bowl: 73mm diameter, holding about 70ml. If you lose it, the recess on the temple is exactly 75mm wide and 20mm deep, which easily fits a standard small deli cup or bottle cap depending on your scale.
Hovering Desk Light Cycle
Desk objects that tip backward are an instant nuisance. This Light Cycle runs a flat-bottomed low-slung chassis, putting the center of gravity where it belongs and dropping the nose so it plants firmly on a shelf or desk. Print details Dimensions: 26mm x 285mm x 53mm Clearance: Prints fully flat against the bed Assembly: Designed as a single plate print; uses regions to let you multi-color print the light ribbons and canopy in a slicer.
iPad Picture Frame Adapter Rödlam 21x30
A two-part adapter plate that centers a 5th Generation iPad (9.7") inside an IKEA RÖDALM frame. It acts as a solid backing spacer, locking the tablet into the frame body while providing a cutout exactly the size of the active screen. The split design fits on a standard 220mm print bed and joins with simple flat printed tabs, avoiding overhangs entirely. Remixing and Adjustments Screen Cutout: Currently set to 197 × 148 mm. If you swap to an iPad with a different bezel ratio, you can adjust these dimensions to crop it cleanly. Frame Depth: The total block depth is 30 mm. Thinner frames will require cutting down the outer block height. Cable Routing: A 16 × 25 mm rear channel provides plenty of clearance for bulky aftermarket Lightning cables. Joints: Uses simple 11 × 14 mm rectangular biscuits. You can easily scale these or add more pairs for extra rigidity depending on your printer's tolerances.
RÖDALM — Beveled iPad Mount
Transform an IKEA RÖDALM picture frame into a flush, wall-mounted iPad display. This two-part adapter replaces the stock mat and securely holds a 5th-generation iPad without rattling. The front face features a deep 22mm chamfer that drops precisely down to the active screen area, giving it a premium gallery look. The entire assembly sits on your printer's bed face-down and prints support-free. Features Support-Free Design: The steep internal bevel means you can print this flat without supports, resulting in a pristine front face. Puzzle Lock: The two halves snap together at the centerline with extruded puzzle joints, aligning the faces perfectly. Continuous Power: An oversized bottom channel allows standard and right-angle Lightning cables to plug in and drop straight out the back, perfect for permanent wall mounting. Accessible: Dedicated cutouts for the home button, front camera, speakers, and side buttons. Cooling: Integrated back channels ensure passive airflow around the device. Print Notes Print face-down (the flat front face touching the build plate). No supports needed. Designed to comfortably fit on standard 220 × 220 mm beds.
