An inner cone passes right through an outer one and neither of them comes apart - that is the whole trick, and it prints as a single piece. Roll it in your hands and the two bodies slide past each other, which is the part that keeps fingers busy. Printed in two colours the cones separate in the eye and the pass-through reads as impossible; printed in one it looks like a solid cone until it moves. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A glasses rack that lives on the wall: six cradles in a row on one 210 mm plate, 22 mm deep, so six pairs hang out of the way of a counter or a bedside table. It prints as one piece with nothing to assemble, and the arms take wire or plastic frames by the bridge. Designed by Matthew and printed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).

A chef's hat charm with a banded brim, tall enough to read at a glance on a keyring. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A snake, printed flat as one piece: 9.8" from nose to tail, no supports anywhere, and off the plate in about an hour by its designer's own estimate. It prints lying on the plate, so the whole thing is one layer stack rather than a tower that can topple. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A bag peg that works like a clothes peg: two arms on a printed pin, so the ends you squeeze and the jaws are on opposite sides of the pivot, and squeezing opens the jaws. A disc on the upper arm turns inside a socket on the lower one, printed in place with a quarter of a millimetre of air round it - press the peg open and you can feel the pin move. Behind it one strip sweeps round and back to the other arm as a scroll you can see through, and that scroll is the spring: it closes the jaws and it is what you feel working when you squeeze. The mouth is a square-wave channel cut through both jaws at once, so the two sets of teeth come from the same cut and interlock - every tooth of one jaw stands in the hollow of the other - and along the outside of each arm, where a thumb goes, a row of sawteeth bites into the silhouette so the peg does not slip in your hand. It prints flat as one piece, no supports, nothing to assemble. PLA holds fine; PETG survives the dishwasher and takes more flexing. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A 3x3 clicker pad: nine keys on one printed body, each on its own spring, so the whole thing clicks under a thumb like a tiny keyboard. 2.6" square, printed in one piece with nothing to assemble. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A heart that sits on top of a straw, wide and low, catching the light as the cup moves. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Two bands that print as one piece: the finned outer ring's ridge sits in the inner band's groove, so it is locked on but free to spin, with no bearings and nothing to assemble. The groove is a BALL RACE - a circular channel, with the ridge as the same circle held 0.4 mm off it - so the surfaces the two parts face each other across are vertical, which is what lets it print in place and still turn. The ring is 27 mm across and stands 7 mm, and the fins are trapezoids: wide where they join the sleeve, narrow at the tip, so nothing on it is a blade waiting to be knocked. It comes in three sizes, 16.5 mm (US 6), 18.2 mm (US 8) and 19.8 mm (US 10) across the finger hole, all at the same price, and the download is a 3MF with a plate for each, so you can print whichever fits - or all three. Print it with a brim and z-hop switched on: a small ring has a small footprint, and z-hop keeps a moving nozzle clear of what is already printed. The STL on its own is the smallest of the three. The photo is a render of the printable model - real photos of the print go up once the first batch comes off the printer.

A bow that clips onto a straw: the straw runs through the middle and the bow sits above the lid. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Wet gloves dry upside down on six tapered, vented posts, over a 4x10 inch floor vent. A glove's cuff slides over a post so warm air from the register goes up through the post and through the glove, drying the inside as well as the out - which is the part that stays wet. The tray is a colander: a lip catches a dribble of water, and a grid of drain holes lets the air up and the water down, and each post drains through its own cup. Bottles and cups fit the posts just as the old stand's did. Sized to sit inside a 4 by 10 inch register, printed in one piece with no supports and nothing to assemble. The photo is a render of the printable model - real photos of the print go up once the first batch comes off the printer.

A six-can holder that spins: six runners hold the cans and the base turns, and it uses very little filament for its size. Four pieces. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A phone stand with a woodgrain surface that all but disappears behind the phone, so what you see is the screen standing on the desk rather than the stand holding it. A deep groove with a lipped front edge takes a phone upright for video calls or on its side for standBy and night-clock mode, and it fits anything from a small handset up to a Pro Max. Printed in PLA at 0.2 mm layers, 15% infill, no supports. It is designed for a wood-fill filament, which gives it the grain it is named for, though any matte colour prints just as well. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A clicker keychain with four buttons that press and click, printed in place so nothing needs assembling. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A fold-over bag clip in one piece, with nothing to assemble: two slim bars on a round hinge, and a hook at the far end that shuts them. Roll the bag's neck over, slide it in side-on between the bars, and press the hook home - the knob at the end of the curl rides over the upper bar's tip and drops into the groove cut behind it, so the clip is held shut by the hook and not by the moulding. Flex the curl back off the tip and it opens again. The hinge is a disc with a hole through it, so the clip hangs on a keyring or a cup hook when it is not on a bag. It prints flat as a single piece with no supports, and PLA holds fine while PETG survives the dishwasher and takes more flexing. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first batch comes off the printer.

A hexagonal fidget that prints flat in a few minutes and clicks between your fingers - no supports, no assembly, no settings to tune. 2.0" across. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by LangHjornArt

A flat key tag that holds the key by its bow rather than its ring, so it lies flat in a pocket and does not rattle. 2.2" long, about 1 g of plastic, printed in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Katejot2017

Ten layered fidget discs off one plate - each about 3" across, each with its own cut-through pattern and its own way of spinning and clicking. Pick the design you want; the picture on each chip is that disc. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A thin blade for digging the lint out of a phone's charging port, with a hook at one end and a flat scraper at the other. 34 mm long and a fraction of a gram, so it prints three at a time in a minute - one for the desk, one for the car, one to lose. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by eclien

A bag clip shaped like a cat, with a spring jaw that holds a chip bag or a coffee pouch shut. 1.6" across, printed in place in one piece - the hinge comes off the plate already working. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Muuurt

A ball that screws into its own cage - the thread holds it, and it spins from one end to the other without ever coming free. 3.9" tall, printed in place in two pieces that come off the plate already assembled. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Elaak

A beer crate for batteries, scaled down to sit on a shelf: stacked sides, a slotted top and a handle you can actually lift it by. Holds a row of AA or AAA cells - pick which, they are separate crates. About 2.7" long. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by JSBallpython

A cap that turns a jar into a fruit washer: fill it, shake, and the water spins the berries clean instead of bruising them. The cap and its inner piece print together in one go - size L fits a standard wide jar. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by ValeraPerinski

A ruler that folds: nineteen 160 mm segments that hinge end to end, plus the two end caps, so it measures a room and then folds down to a pocket. The full set is 19 segments; the smaller option is the same design at 70 per cent, which is the one for a desk drawer. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by PenguinPrototypes

A Christmas cookie stamp and its matching cutter: press the stamp into the dough and the outline cuts clean around it, so the icing has a line to follow. 3.1" across, printed as two pieces - stamp and cutter. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by P2T

A frog that jumps: press its back and it springs off the table, and the pond bowl catches it. Pick the frog on its own or the bowl with it - the bowl is 5" across, and three frogs fit on one plate if you want a set. Shown as a render, not a photo.
