Helping people to take their medication - that is a cause close to my heart! (Wanna know why? - read further down..) And way too often it's only associated with negative thougths.. So here is an attempt of a pill storage box that brings a smile. Combine color and face to your liking.<figure class="image image-style-side"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/497903/2024-02-05_6682e6f5401f5.jpeg"></figure><h2>Overview</h2>The pill box comes in different versions - with different faces.<ul><li>Happy</li><li>Happy 2</li><li>Wink</li><li>Kiss</li><li>Sad</li><li>Mad</li><li>Pain</li></ul>These are not initially meant to organize pills by the day - but great to have some backup medication in the bag, car or drawer - in case you forgot to take the meds in the morning. But if you do like them, you could print 7 of them ;-) <h2>Assembly</h2><figure class="image image-style-side"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/497903/2024-02-05_78a2a8ed0caef8.jpeg"></figure>Nothing to do here - just print and screw them together!If the brim doesn’t come of clean, consider using a deburring tool to trim the edges.<h2>Fun fact</h2>Completely by accident - but they fit perfectly in my Gridfinity Trays - if you want 1 or more stored in your desktop Gridfinity system.<a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/147393#profileId-160852" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/147393#profileId-160852</a><h2>Print instructions</h2>This is pretty simple, but here is a few tips:<ul><li>Supports: No</li><li>Infill: 10% Lightning (to save filament)</li><li>Orientation: The models are oriented in the correct print position</li><li>Colors: 1 or more (can be printed in a single color, or you can color fx. the top/bottom or face-elements within the slicer)</li></ul>Happy printing!<h2>Why this means a lot to me!</h2>I personally live with epilepsy, and just within the last month, I forgot my medication once. Result: I had an epileptic seizure in front of my family. It’s horrifying to wake up after about an hour, not knowing what just happened. No warnings before, no idea what went wrong. But on the other side, it’s not at all fun to be the family either - a wife who knows what’s happening and needs to explain that to 2 + 5 year old kids, seeing their dad lying on the floor shaking. So when I saw the contest for pill organizers, I knew I had to do at least one design! If my design can just help 1 other person, I would be so happy!<h2>Want to show your support?</h2>You can see ALL my designs on Printables - and you can become an active supporter.

A quick little print for a fun little game! I remember making paper footballs all the time as a kid and my friends and I would hold our hands up as goals. So I thought I'd make a fun little homage to the classic classroom game with the add on of some fun launchers! For assembly please watch the GIFs in the photo carousel. Takes less than 2min to put together! The GIFs also show how to load the launchers and how the natural flexibility of the filament is used to shoot the footballs! &nbsp;You can use any paper football you make, but I also included some plastic ones just for fun. They go a decent distance so odds are you'll lose them eventually (As I already have…) but that's what paper is for! haha&nbsp;Please enjoy!

<h2>Introduction</h2>This desktop module embodies simplicity and functionality, harmonizing clean lines with a contemporary color palette. Its versatile design seamlessly integrates into any environment, making it suitable for both desk and shelf placements, allowing you to curate and organize with style.The thoughtful details elevate its functionality, including discreetly integrated magnets within the lid, designed exclusively for securing paper clips. This module serves as a practical organizational tool and adds a touch of modern elegance to your workspace or decor setting.<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/433460/2024-01-21_8ed65577c9e71.jpg"></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/433460/2024-01-21_9d8714c1f4ed4.jpeg"></figure><h2>Print details</h2>From a printing perspective, I took great care in designing it to be inclusive, ensuring compatibility with all bambulab printer models. While having an AMS unit facilitates the experience, it's important to note that it's not mandatory.Despite the availability of color options, where an AMS unit can be particularly helpful, it's worth mentioning that you can still print in color without one; however, it may require a bit more patience on filament swapping.&nbsp;The larger bases are also connected through magnets that are embedded in the side walls. Precision is crucial during assembly, ensuring that the two halves attract each other. Careful attention to placement is required to achieve a secure and seamless connection.&nbsp;<h3>The material</h3>The material I've used in this project is bambulab <a target="_blank" href="https://shrsl.com/4cvrb" rel="nofollow noopener">PLA Matte</a><ul><li>Mandarin Orange (very nice color)</li></ul>and two already classical colors of choice:<ul><li>Ivory White</li><li>Ash Grey</li></ul>For the magnets:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/3SqQU0I" rel="nofollow noopener">10x small neodymium magnets with 6x2.65</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/3SqQU0I" rel="nofollow noopener">3x neodymium magnets with 10x3mm.</a></li></ul><h3>"New" technic</h3>To conclude, and as is often the case in my projects, I incorporate a new technique. Although I've mentioned it several times before, I have not yet implemented it—specifically, I'm referring to the use of dedicated <a target="_blank" href="https://shrsl.com/4ctb1" rel="nofollow noopener">support material for PLA</a>. I believe this addition truly makes a significant difference in the final quality of the piece, nearly eliminating marks left by support structures and greatly easing their removal.Certainly, it's not the most budget-friendly option, but it will endure for a long, long time. With careful use, especially when applied to the interface layers between the supported walls and the supporting structures.&nbsp;All the links for the material are affiliated with bambulab. It will cost you the same, and I will receive a small help to support this free work&nbsp;

<h3>If you want a commercial license, check out my bio and get it from Patreon.</h3>&nbsp;<h4>Hey guys, this is another design for Makerworld dragon year contest (4/5). Loong wand, Loong also known as oriental dragon, or Chinese dragon. I think it would be a great gift/toy for kids for New year.</h4><h3>Best wishes to you all! 新年快乐.</h3>&nbsp;This Loong wand design takes 47g of filament and 2h40m printing time.I try to keep all my wands design consistent, similar printing hours, material cost, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is a complete redesign from the last dragon wand. It took me more than 20h of continues work to get the initial design done. And 10+ hours of revisions. Yep, this wasn’t included in my test print hours. Be sure you like this model 😊 Want more wand? Let me know in the comments.&nbsp;<h2>Revisions:</h2>Update 1/26/2024: 3.x.1 Horn fit and finish issue. (tested) New update improved the fit for horn on profile: v3.5 Large, v3.3 Basic, v3.4 Flame. Suggest not to use some of the weak silk filaments. It is small parts, will easy to break with snap fit tolerance. &nbsp;<h2>Printing options:</h2>I made a few different styles for this design. “Plain” is Loong without horn. “Basic” is Loong with removeable horn. “Flame” is added flame on Basic model. “Large” is only available for P, X, &A1. Since the height of the model is too large for a1mini.I personally like the Large size the most. The larger size really brings a different feeling to this design. You will feel more of imposing of a Loong.<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_e08d19c6e1cfd.png"></figure>&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>If you like other wand design:</h3>Dragon wand:<a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/135043#profileId-146518" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/135043#profileId-146518</a><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_d56c3cbaa1e49.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;Harry Potter wand:<a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/68778#profileId-72937" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/68778#profileId-72937</a><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_26bcefd5022d.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;<h2> </h2><h2>Printing Suggestions:</h2>If you are printing on a1mini/a1 with cold room temperature (consider it is winter now) increase your bed temperature to 80C. To reduce possible fail rate.If you are printing with P & X Series, you could close the door to keep a consistent ambient temperature.Printing profile I uploaded have sightly thicker first layer, it is due to the small parameter on first layer, it will ensure your first layer stick good on build plate.This design has bigger parameters than my other wand design, print without brim is still not recommended but highly doable. Try at your own risk.&nbsp;Don't use some of the silk and weak filaments: <figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_ac98214f72e76.png"></figure><h2>Post work:</h2><h3>clear brim:</h3><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_0b36a23125eca.gif"></figure><h3>install horn:</h3><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_23eebab9bacf.gif"></figure><h2> </h2><h2>Design:</h2>The design isn’t perfect, I decided to sacrifice some “style” for better “printability”.I originally wanted to design a dragon holding a ball. So, the retractable parts will be dragon body and tail. That said, the orientation of the model will be completely different from my last dragon design.<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_bc8842b333e3c.png"></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_80a09a8bbb86b.png"></figure>But I have changed my mind during the design. I want to make retractable parts come out from dragon mouth.<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_f9b3f5edf311.png"></figure>So, I started with the overall style, since I want it to be more of Oriental dragon style. A lot more details have been added to the model.I didn’t think my new dragon scale design was over complicated, it keeps my software crashing. I think it is also because the entire model’s mesh has over 1 million triangles. Since my intension was getting something very refined done, this was probably a bit overdone.<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_0153da89875bc.png"></figure>&nbsp;The initial v2 had a few design revisions. I realized the dragon beard and horn are a bit tricky to print. The beard is a bit too small and causes printing issues, and I didn’t really like to have support on this model.&nbsp;So, model improvements took place again. I have also decided to make horn removable, that way you can print without support and print it with the color you like.The retractable mechanism is also refined. Bottom layer otter edge is clear for earlier post work. (remove brim)<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_72d75fc68d641.png"></figure>&nbsp;&nbsp;Old Revisions:<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/456325/2024-01-16_120cb9c9d7592.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;

After seeing many people&#39;s problems with my <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/66672" rel="nofollow noopener">previous fidget switch&#39;</a>s spring, I decided to create a new variant that allows you to adjust the spring&#39;s tension whenever you want. Some days you may want a soft, tactile click; other days you may want a loud, snappy click - this fidget does both! And it even has a more ergonomic form factor!&nbsp;This little switch consists of just eight parts! And, just like my previous switch, you&#39;ll need to print two of some parts. The body of the switch also has two options, because who doesn&#39;t like choices?&nbsp;If you&#39;re looking for a fidget switch that has fewer parts, prints quicker, and uses less filament, check out my <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/467451" rel="nofollow noopener">Print-in-Place Fidget Toggle Switch</a>.&nbsp;<blockquote>⚠ Heads up, hot shot!This is a tricky print. This print has a few small pieces that don&#39;t work with brims. These have limited bed contact, so you&#39;ll need nearly perfect bed adhesion. Because of the small tolerances in this print, your flow rate must also be perfect. Finally, if your printer has any noticeable elephant&#39;s foot, then forget about printing this.</blockquote><h4> </h4><h4>Settings</h4><ul><li>Designed for a 0.4mm nozzle</li><li>0.16mm or 0.2mm layer height</li><li>3 walls</li><li>≥5 top/bottom layers</li><li>20% infill (but more feels better)</li><li>Slice with Arachne if available</li></ul>All files should be in the correct orientation to print. Supports are not required, but a brim will help when printing the pegs. I do not recommend using a brim on the springs as it&#39;s difficult to remove and any brim remnants will interfere with the action of the switch.&nbsp;<h4>What to Print</h4><figure class="table"><table><thead><tr><th>Part</th><th>Qty</th><th>Notes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Body</td><td>2</td><td>There&#39;s two options: smooth or grip; print two of the same option</td></tr><tr><td>Peg</td><td>2</td><td>A brim helps here!</td></tr><tr><td>Spring</td><td>2</td><td>Don&#39;t use a brim on these!</td></tr><tr><td>Toggle</td><td>1</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Slider</td><td>1</td><td>A lower layer height is preferred here: 0.16mm or 0.12mm</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>&nbsp;<h4>Assembly</h4>The last 7 photos demonstrate the assembly process.<ol><li>Test your prints: Place the slider between the two body halves and verify the slider can slide freely. Then, place a peg in the toggle and verify the toggle can rotate freely.</li><li>Insert both pegs into one side of the body. These will be extremely tight (that&#39;s intentional!!!). If the pegs absolutely won&#39;t fit, you might need to reprint them with the X and Y scale reduced by 0.2 to 0.4% (99.8 to 99.6%).</li><li>Place the springs into the slider and check the orientation: the &#34;arms&#34; of the springs should point towards each other, and the &#34;bump&#34; on the slider should point towards the arms.</li><li>Move the slider towards the rounded ends of the springs and carefully press the springs into the body half from step 2. The springs should be parallel with the bottom of the body.</li><li>Move the slider away from the rounded ends and slip the toggle on the peg. Use a finger to separate the springs for easy placement.</li><li>Check the motion of the slider and the toggle. If everything looks good, place the other half of the body on top and press the two body halves together. Be sure the springs are properly aligned into their respective slots.</li><li>You&#39;re done! Flick away!</li></ol><h4> </h4><h4>Protips</h4><ul><li>This switch is not designed to be disassembled, so good luck with that.</li><li>A drop of lube between the toggle and the peg works great depending on your filament(s).</li><li>A small amount of beeswax applied to the outside of the springs helps if you find the slider difficult to move. But, the slider may shift during some intense switch flipping.</li><li>The pegs require some force to properly insert, but they have to hold the switch together. No other part (e.g. the springs) should require any significant force.</li><li>If you&#39;re rocking an AMS, use &#34;Others &gt; Print sequence &gt; By object&#34; to quickly print all parts on one build plate while using different filaments!</li></ul>&nbsp;If you print one of these switches, please post a make: I love seeing all of your creative color combinations!

This fun and playful game enables you to understand the concepts of balance and weight. It helps children to think strategically and improves hand-eye coordination. The ideal game for a parent-child activity, little game with your co-workers or your friends. This game can be played with up to 6 players.&nbsp;To avoid danger of suffocation, keep this game away from babies and small children.<h3>Updates</h3><ul><li>21.01.2024<ul><li>The main multi-color print profile contained outdated string adapters with the wrong outer diameter. I apologize for the inconvenience. The other profiles are not affected by this.</li><li>Added a guide for ‘Adjusting the Difficulty’ in the description.</li></ul></li><li>22.01.2024<ul><li>Uploaded all STL-Files</li><li>Added more oversized dice insert variants (+.1mm, +.15, +.2mm) to the replacement parts profile</li><li>Added 3 thinner disc variants to the replacement parts profile: 4mm, 3mm, 2mm height. Each millimeter thinner makes the disc 10g lighter.</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Added Features</h3><ul><li>Box with a sliding lid holds all parts secure.</li><li>Base platform doubles as a lid for the included box (turn it upside down so that the game name is visible).</li><li>Optional inlay for the box with slots for the biggest parts (pillar, beamm disc).</li><li>Difficulty is adjustable.</li></ul><h3>Printing Instructions</h3>While an AMS is nice to have, it is by no means essential for this build. The bare minimum requirements are that you have 6 distinguishable colors for the blocks and at least one basic color for the other parts. I added a single-color-per-piece print profile.&nbsp;This balance game relies heavily on the precise proportions of its components, yet it also offers the flexibility to adjust them as necessary. It's noteworthy that this version includes optional parts that enable customization to suit your unique requirements. The standard printing profile encompasses all the vital components, along with a storage container featuring an inlay for secure organization of all pieces. This arrangement is the one I personally employ when producing copies of the game.&nbsp;For optimal results, I advise printing all parts on the build surface that provides the strongest bed adhesion. In my experience, using a golden texture PEI sheet for all components resulted in flawless prints without any failures. Ensure that the base and disc are fully cooled down on the build plate before removal. Premature removal can lead to tolerance discrepancies and warping of parts.&nbsp;Given the extensive variety of individual settings required for each part, I suggest starting with the main print profile as your baseline. From there, you can tailor the settings to meet your specific needs.&nbsp;I utilize a combination of matte and standard PLA filaments from various brands including Sunlu, Jayo, Eryone, and Amazon Basics. Each part in the design has been crafted with specific tolerances to facilitate easy assembly and to accommodate the slight variations that can occur between different materials. This approach ensures a smooth building process regardless of the filament brand used.<h3>Additional Materials Needed</h3><ul><li>Thin cord (~35-40cm)</li></ul><h3>Assembly</h3>Main Game:<ol><li>Assemble the two segments of the pillar by sliding them together. Depending on the material and print quality, initial assembly may require a bit of extra force.</li><li>Position the base platform on a level surface, ensuring that the slot designated for the pillar is facing upwards.</li><li>Attach the pillar to the base platform by sliding it into the slot from behind. Insert the beam into its corresponding hole in the pillar.</li><li>For the first-time setup:<ol><li>Form a loop with the cord, approximately 35-40 cm in length, and tie the ends together to secure it.</li><li>Thread the cord through the small cylindrical cord adapter, making sure that the knot rests on the adapter's wider part.</li><li>If the cord is too thick for the adapter, opt for one of the alternative diameter adapters provided. The choice of adapter directly influences the stability of the platform – a tighter hole results in greater stability.</li></ol></li><li>Finally, thread the cord and the cord adapter through the balancing disc and suspend it from the beam.</li></ol><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:68.16%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/454818/2024-01-20_61e7a6f07017e.jpg"><figcaption>Assembly</figcaption></figure>Dice:<ul><li>Prior to inserting the colored inserts, make sure you clean up the bottom facing cutout. The bridges might interfere with the precise tolerances and could cause the insert to stick out just a little bit. I use a slotted screwdriver for this task. Just scrape them out which takes about 3-5 minutes.</li><li>The dice inserts diameter matches the cutouts, so usually they pressfit into the cube. Your experience might vary depending on the material used and your printer calibration. Use some glue or increase the insert's diameter if you are not satisfied with the results. Personally I prefer to increase the diameter of the inserts by .2mm (I added a profile for replacement parts that contain multiple sizes).</li></ul><h3>How to Play</h3>Variant A: Roll the dice and place a block of the corresponding color on the disc, ensuring that it doesn't tip over.Variant B (No Dice): Each player is assigned a specific color (or multiple colors). Players take turns placing a block from their allocated stack onto the disc, being careful not to cause it to tip over.<h3>Adjusting the Difficulty</h3>While the primary print profile serves as a solid foundation, various factors can impact the game's difficulty. Should you find the game too easy or too challenging and wish to make adjustments, consider these methods (listed in descending order of recommendation):<ul><li>If the Game is Too Easy (blocks aren't falling)<ol><li>Use a Larger Inner Diameter String Adapter: A string adapter with a larger-than-necessary inner diameter will lessen the shaft's stabilizing effect. Alternatively, a thicker string or cord can be used.</li><li>Lower the Height of the String Adapter (Shaft): Reducing the adapter's height diminishes the shaft's stabilizing effect. I'll soon provide a file for replacement parts. In the meantime, manually adjust the Z-axis scale of the adapter in Bambu Slicer or use a negative part to trim the shaft. Remember to deselect ‘uniform scale’ before making changes.</li><li>Increase the Infill of the Blocks: Increasing the blocks' infill to make the blocks more influential on the disc, or conversely, decrease the disc's infill for a similar effect.</li><li>Use a Thinner Disc: Same effect as #3.</li><li>Alter the Disc's Top Surface Pattern: Printing the disc with a different pattern, like a hilbert curve, can reduce the friction between the blocks and the disc.</li><li>Utilize Silk-PLA for the Disc: This material can change the disc's friction properties. </li></ol></li><li>If the Game is Too Hard (blocks fall too easily)<ol><li>Use a Smaller Inner Diameter String Adapter: If feasible, opt for a string adapter with a smaller inner diameter. Alternatively, use a thinner string or cord.</li><li>Increase the Height of the String Adapter: In Bambu Slicer, enhance the stability by scaling the Z-axis of the string adapter. Ensure ‘uniform scale’ is unchecked.</li><li>Adjust the Infill of Disc and Blocks: Increase the disc's infill or decrease the blocks' infill to make the blocks less influential on the disc.</li><li>Print on a Smooth PEI Sheet: Printing the disc (and blocks) on a smooth PEI sheet and using the disc's bottom side for play increases the friction between the blocks and the disc.</li></ol></li></ul><h3>Feedback</h3>Every feedback - positive and negative - is highly appreciated, as long as it is constructive and no nitpicking.<h3>Games Collection</h3>I am constantly developing more games.

Here is your chance to take down the Empire with your new A1 fighter! Aim for the Thermal Exhaust Port! I figured I'd try to make a fun Purge bucket for your A1 that will print directly on the buildplate without any supports. There are two print options currently. 1 that is plain, and the other that has the small opening for your filament purge poo to try and fling through.&nbsp;I modeled this in Shapr3D on my ipad and was a fun little project. I might make more mods to this as well as more design updates to it.&nbsp;The print top should be level with the top of the A1 & it should line up properly but not cover the side speakers. &nbsp;This was a quick 3-4 hour print.No supports needed.2 or .28 layer height3 bottom 3 top should be fine along with 10% infill&nbsp;Let it rip and have fun! If you print one make sure to tag me online. I'd love to see them! @UncleJessy / @UncleJessy4Real&nbsp;You can see the purge bucket in action here in my A1 Printer video&nbsp;<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/K8n-KQyMS9w"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K8n-KQyMS9w" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>
