My 3D Print projects

On this page you'll find a selection of my 3D Print projects. All projects are drawn by me (mostly in Fusion 360, some in Tinkercad), printed by me, but a lot of the ideas are inspired on other peoples work.

Kinetic Art

Objects that look nice and move.

• Geneva Gear
  Extra photo's here One of works I'm most proud of. Inspired by a YouTube animation.
• Moiré
  Extra photo's here Another kinetic art; inspired by a kickstarter project. Less 3D Printing work, the inner workings is from metal, made by my father in law.
• HexGrinder
  Extra photo's here Another kinetic art. Inspiration from a video by Mathologer.

Static Art

Not moving, but looking nice

• Sierpkinksy
  A 3D variant of the Sierpkinksy curve.
• Chip model
  This was not intended as "art", but rather as an instruction model on the inner layering of a semiconductors chip. Looks colorful though.

Boxes

A very classical application of 3D Printing: boxes for electronics projects

• Electricity Meter
  Big display, showing the current electricity used by our house, as reported by the so-called P1-port of the electricity smart meter.
• Mini keyboard
  An extra keyboard for my son, with special keys during gaming. See also GitHub.

Puzzles

I like puzzles, and a 3D printer allows rapid prototyping

• Dove Tail
  One of my first prints, idea from Maker's Muse.
• Rubik's Bricks
  not to be confused with Rubik's cube. A copy of the real thing.
• 3D Maze
  Yes, another copied idea, a ball hidden in a dark maze.
• Jenifer Haselgrove
  Another plain copy. This one is from a book when I was young. Others also have design their own version.
• Exponential slider
  My own design. A puzzle which requires an exponential number of steps.
• Triangles
  The column of Ionica Smeets featured a puzzle from Willem van der Poel.

Engines

My father in law makes models of engines.

• Carburetor
  To skill myself in Fusion 360, he proposed I made one of his objects. Since heat and plastic doesn't go together, I made his Carburetor.
• Stirling engine
  Since the carburetor was easy, we challenged ourselves. Project is not yet finished, the motor is not yet running.

Useful

Can you make useful things with a 3D printer. You can, but I hardly do

• Decoration
  for flowers for my wife. An early print. To be honest, this one I did not draw myself I believe I got it here.
• Lego
  A special worm gear nut for Lego.
• Windshield holder
  A windshield holder, specially made for my phone, with a bumper case.
