Bicyclops by Koom

A bicycle accessory that turns my bike into fantastical creature with realistic eye tracking and blinking movements AND it has potatohead-style swappable mustaches?! OMGYES! This is the present I never knew I needed. This is my motivation to actually buy a bell (sure, I’ve been riding everyday for 3 years, but just yelling at people has worked fine so far). I’m going to print as many as I can and just give them out at the next Boston Bike Party. Viva la bicyclops!

Printer of all of the Things!

Puzzle Cube by ion_gurguta

3D printers excel when they create tangible shapes that would be difficult to make any other way. This sweet little puzzle has some complex geometry, but is quick to print and fun to assemble! The stand is a nice touch.

Finger Wrench by franc_falco

This design is so clever. When you can’t tighten a bold because your wrench won’t fit into the space, this handy gadget and your finger will do the trick! This is a great example of 3D modeling and printing for practical use in your home.

Twist Planter by 3DBrooklyn

I’ve been trying to create a hanging plant garden for the longest time, and after looking around for numerous little pots to hold all the plants, came across these prints! These are the perfect size to hang under my skylight, and are a step above the traditional clay pots that I would buy from the garden store!

Stormtrooper Officer by Getxoblues

These awesome stormtrooper models print in a bunch of pieces and are fully articulated! I plan on printing one over the weekend though I’m not sure about the scarf.
