600 Watt, 3d-printed, Halbach Array, Brushless Motor
This is a very powerful, 3d-printed brushless motor. The main components like rotor and stator can be printed with a common FDM-printer. Magnets, copper wire, and ball-bearings are ordinary components available on eBay or AliExpress. The motor is a redesign based on the learnings from the makeSEA Motor. It has 600 Watts, and performs with more than 80% efficiency. The magnets of the rotor are...
Lamer Turbillon
This is a mechanical watch with tourbillon driven by a 3d-printed mainspring. The watch has a Swiss lever escapement. The mainspring inside the going barrel keeps the watch running for approximately 30 Minutes. Accuracy is roughly one Second deviation within one Minute (depending on print-settings).
The project demonstrates that the 3D-printing technology is developing. Compared with...

Machine Vise
This is a quite robust 3d-printable machine vise. It's 100% 3d-printed - no screw or other piece of hardware is needed to hold the individual pieces together. Pieces clip and snap together. It's a demonstration that it is very important to consider forces and material properties already when designing a mechanical object. Hints about proper design are presented in my video: ...
Slew Bearing, Parametric Design with Fusion 360
Ball-bearings are very popular for 3d-printing. However they often fail for real applications. Using Fusion 360 I've created a parametric design of a "Crossed Roller Slew Bearing". The result is a pretty accurate and robust bearing. The bearing including the rollers is 3d-printed in separate parts. There are a few screws needed to clamp the two halves of the inner race together. ...
Ultimaker 2 - Print Head Top Replacement
The top part of the print-head of my Ultimaker 2 did break (probably I over-tightened the thumb-screws). Here is a replacement-part, which I designed with Fusion 360. The slightly different design is probably more robust than the original. I recommend to print it with PETG (or ABS), no supports needed. I have successfully printed it with Makerbot Replicator and Ultimaker.
Un-Lockable Loose Filament Spool
Who doesn't know this problem: Tons of loose filament samples. Without spool, they are tangled up, and you certainly don't (want to) have a spool for each sample. For changing a sample it's needed to un-wind and re-wind the filament ... :-(
With this 3d-printable spool, it's possible to unlock the spool and simply remove the sample.

Oct OClock
It’s time to rediscover time. In the digital age humans are still analog beings. Oct O'Clock transforms the time into decorative patterns, and leaves it up to you, how exactly to read the time. The Oct O'Clock is mainly designed as a wall decoration, which also shows the time. It’s simple to roughly read the time, and more difficult to read it very accurately. Time becomes an...
