You might remember the Sector Caddy in the very recent past - well it's back, in drawer form! That's right, all your irregular, non-rectangular tiny drawer storage needs have come true! ...

Back to the magical world of vase mode printing! We have here a very robust, stoic looking vase that unintentionally reminds me of chess pieces, hence the n...

Tessellation is the best, and I really wanted to find an interesting way to apply the concept to a sphere! So, that's what this is - a hollow sphere comprised o...

Hey there, wonderful people!
Could we make a non-squishy form of the squishy tubes that are everywhere in the modern world, I wondered? And then print it in flexible filament anyway and...

Texture is a wonderful thing! Not just the knurling, but the smooth curves of the inside of the small version of this cylindrical screw-top case - it's yet another model that can double as a ...

Hello there, my favourite people!
Twisty triangular boxes! It's fun to take a fairly conventional shape and distort it into something more fun and less practical! All this actuall...

You might see some conceptual parallels with the Arboreal Vase here! Like that vase, this Bobble Tub is a vase mode model that plays with the idea of depth i...

Once again I had loaded up the printers with multi-coloured "toothpaste"-style filament, and wondered what kind of elements might show off the fact that the print surface bears a different colour d...

If there's one thing that 3D printing is good at, it's making hard cases for things! In this case, a hard case for glasses. This vaguely-triangular-prism-shaped box features a lid that ...

Cogs and vase mode! These cogs and rack gears, while faithfully based on legitimate gear profiles, are forever locked into place by their vase-mode-ish-ness. Gears just look cool, thoug...
