Mandarin Community Town Model
A tabletop town for practising Mandarin place words, where flat labels get lost. Each building, sign and park area carries its Chinese characters, pinyin and English on the front face, so the vocabulary sits right on the thing it names. Details that matter Base: 200 × 200 mm, 4 mm thick plate Buildings: hospital, library, community center, store and school, each 46 × 28 mm footprint Extras: park with pond, road, footpaths, houses, cars, trees, lamps and figures Colour regions: ground, road, walls, roofs, doors, lettering, signs, trees, lawn, pond, paths Print: large bed needed (or scale down); multicolour or paint by region; lettering is 0.8 mm raised, so use a 0.4 mm nozzle
Miniature Pop-Up Toaster, 70x46x45 mm
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.

Rail and knobs are separate pieces to print and glue in place.
Christmas Tree Lantern for LED Tealight
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.

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
