Some things I've printed, some are my design, some are downloads, the models are downloads.

Cigar Case:


"Ball" in a box, not as spectacular for a 3d printer, as it was the mark of a skilled woodcarver, but still fun:


Xenomorph bust:


Vampire Skull:


And a diarrhea unicorn, it was a test print to see how overhangs compared with and without support. The result was too comical to not keep:



I've also done a number cookie cutters, you'd be surprised at the number of people who want custom cookie cutters. A pop blocker shield for microphones for audio recording, and numerous other odds and ends.

My next project is a working, single print, ball bearing. should be a good test. Quality is improving over the prints you see, the cigar case is particular, I have it down to +/- .25mm accuracy on the fit of the lid. if I do a quick print (as the unicorn is), it gets sloppy, but If let it go slow, the quality improves. The Skull was a 23 hour print. the weird aberration across the eyes and nose is actually a hiccup in the file I didn't see, not a problem with the printer.
