Description
A two-ball Newton's cradle that splits into separate pieces for easy printing: base, four posts, two top rails, two axles and two swinging ball pendulums. Both balls hang at rest, touching at the centre. The pendulum hubs ride freely on loose 3 mm axles.

A small mechanical toaster printed as separate parts: body, toast carriage, two toast slices and a side lever. Pressing the lever handle down raises the carriage and pops both slices up out of the slots. No springs are used. Lowering the lever pulls the toast back down. How it works The lever pivots on a pin moulded into the right side wall. A peg on the lever passes through an arc slot in the wall into a horizontal slot in the carriage side plate. The peg's travel lifts the carriage about 14 mm. The ends of the arc slot are the up and down stops. Two floor blocks inside the body act as backup low stops. Each toast slice has a tenon that locates in a pocket on its carriage tray. Specs Body: 70 x 46 x 45 mm, open bottom. Print it upside down with the top plate on the bed. Overall assembled size: about 76 W x 52 D x 60 H mm with the toast raised. Carriage: 1 mm side clearance to the walls. Slice tenon clearance 0.3 mm per side. Slots: 27 x 7 mm for slices 25.5 x 5 mm. Print settings: PLA, 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls, 10-12% infill. No supports are needed. Estimated filament: roughly 35-45 g. This is below the 50-60 g target, so walls can be thickened if more weight is wanted. Assembly Slide the carriage into the body through the open bottom. Slice tenons face up. Press the lever hub onto the pivot pin, feeding the peg through the arc slot into the carriage slot. Add a dab of glue to the pin head if the snap fit is loose. Drop the slices into the slots.

A Christmas tree lantern that sits over a battery LED tealight, so the light stays hidden inside instead of glaring from a bare tealight on the table. The walls are perforated with rings of small round holes that throw dots of light, and the bottom is open so the LED can be placed or swapped without taking anything apart. Key numbers Height: about 135 mm including star Base diameter: 90 mm, open underneath (inner opening about 87 mm) Wall: 1.6 mm, three stacked tiers Perforations: 4.2 mm holes, staggered rings Star: separate colour, peg-mounted into the top tier Printing Print upright, open end down, no supports needed for the cone walls Green for the tree, gold or yellow for the star Use a 0.4 mm nozzle; a lighter or translucent filament glows more

A set of mid-century lamp parts that all share one coarse 6 mm-pitch thread, so any shade fits any base. The set has two fluted shades (round and square ribs), a white adjustable diffuser and several bases: tall, short, grooved, two tripods, a flat-leg grooved tripod and a dowel-leg hub. Remix hooks Flat-leg tripod: legs are 16 mm wide slabs (before scaling) with two grooves, 3.2 mm wide, down each outer face. Change the groove count, offset (±4 mm) or width. Leg height and spread: hub height 70 mm and foot radius 70 mm set the splay. Raise both for a taller version. Thread spigot: 52 mm across, 38 mm long. Keep it to stay compatible with the shades. Pairs with: either fluted shade and the diffuser. The 42 mm bore runs straight through for the bulb and cord.
A tabletop town for practising Mandarin place words, where flat labels get lost.
