Batman’s Grenade Launcher 1:1 by MillersMadDesigns
This incredible grenade launcher design was one of the top entries in our Batman vs. Superman Design contest. It prints easily in multiple pieces on most FDM machines and fits together nicely. Check back next week for an in depth look at how it was designed on the blog!
This lamp shade can spice up otherwise dull desk lamps. If your lamp is prone to overheating, you might want to print it in one of the higher temperature materials like ABS or PETG.
Tanner got a bit crafty when making this stylish vase. At the moment it is hollow at both ends but to seal it, we laser cut a piece of plastic and glued it on the bottom. He is coming out with a version two soon that has a filled bottom. Stay tuned!
Stegosaurus Dinosaur Costume Spikes by Metalnat Hayes
Generic Front Loader by guaro3D
This is one of several articulated models made by Guaro3D – you can see the excavator design lurking not so subtly in the background. Their easy to print and don’t require much to assemble. These would make for creative print contest entries.
