Best 3D designs of the week – 18 September, 2015
Hey Pinshapers,
More of the best new 3D printing designs to show you this week! The Kreebils have definitely invaded Pinshape; they’ve even made it into Nick’s staff picks! And Sergey has kinda cheated by drawing his pick from the pool of Makertron entries. Such shameless cross-promotion.
Don’t forget to upload your Prints to share with the community if you decide to bring these designs to life!

Math is good
Math Spinner Toy by christina
My 5 year old is all about counting Pokemon cards these days! This somehow turned into math lessons (and parent bribes :)) This Math Spinner is super cool + going to help me out! Christina has a lot of great models / designs – check them out on Christina’s user page.

Friend of the Kreebils
Kreebils – Group Pack by gusfink
If you hadn’t heard yet, the Kreebils are now officially licensed and exclusively available on Pinshape! Gus Fink’s cool little creatures have a great mix of friendliness and strangeness to them that make them really endearing. With fun backstories and unique personalities, Gus has created a great little world with the Kreebils, and now you can make them a part part of yours. Available individually or as a group, you can pick the Kreebil that matches you best. For me, that’s Puggs. Who’s your favorite?

Flashman
Universal 3D-printable flashlight stand by CreativeTools
I’ve attempted to solder in my garage which has poor lighting. I tried soldering while holding a flashlight. That didn’t work out…
If you are working in a dark room and you have a lamp or an extra hand to hold that flashlight then you should be fine. If not, do yourself a favour and print the FlashLight Holder by CreativeTools. It’s an easy print that only requires 2 rubber bands to hold the flashlight in place.
Here is a video demonstrating how it works.

Festively Plump
Makies Jack-O-Lantern Redux 1.0 by Chris Milnes
Hokay, summer is out, but Halloween is just around the corner!! I love holidays and all the festivities they bring. Sure they can be a gi-normous marketing ploy for businesses to sell more junk, but think of all the good times with friends and family, opportunities to dress up and be creative! This Jack-O-Lantern design reminds me it’s time to start planning. This piece can be the ultimate minimal Halloween decor around the house to set the mood for a spooky good time with the kiddies!

Recycle your soda can by 3d tech
I was choosing between this pen holder design versus another one, but in the end I went with this one. Sure I do a bit of recycling, but I can always do more. I’ve always thought of recycling containers, but this is a great solution to give soda cans a second life without the threat of cutting my fingers off!

Prism: A Modular Backsplash System by MinnesotaMade
I would love to have such a modular backsplash system for my kitchen sink. Looks very simple and at the same time very-very stylish. Great thing about this idea – it consists of small pieces, so any person can create a unique design. You can even plant a small flower in one of these shapes. Wonderful, inspiring idea ♥

Mr. Robot
raspberry pi keychain by Tsukasa Kikumoto
I love my Raspberry Pi. It was a great purchase for such a tiny computer. I was really happy when the device made a cameo in my favorite TV show. Made me feel like a nifty hacker (haha). This design would be a great addition to my keys, since they’re all bare and tough to handle. I would only print it in a different color…
