    Cable-CAM Crawler for NXT/EV3<

    A dedicated NXT/EV3 GoPro Cable Crawling Robot. You will need to purchase some cable wheels to complete the design (STLhive parts) - or use the ones you have already. Use big wheels for flat, taught cables and small wheels for slack lines (line must be as taught as possible. Lines may sag if very long). This product in combination with your LEGO Mindstorms NXT/EV3 & GoPro can be used to time lapse or cool school shots for videos and yearbook. This design is held together with No.8 Pan-head screws. The cable should be between 1/8" and 1/4" in diameter for best results. More products will become available to be used with this design as they are requested by customers.

    Dark-Night, Bath-Time Speedboat<

    Intended to be printed from soft rubber-like material (TPE) to be more gentle to bath and children (not required). Product Features a hull shape that zips across the water and a vertical fin for little fingers to hold onto for zooming practice. Product benefits include rugged, unsinkable design with the appeal of a full sized motor boat. The hull is designed to have little tendency to porpoise and flip. We printed several of these at the start of the summer and shared them with others. The kiddies played with them in the bath, in the pool and in the lake. Several parents passing by wanted to know where to buy them. Parents were impressed with how much fun they were to play with just add water and imagination. Old-School fun! The other similar boats are made with the same basic hull so that the kiddies can enjoy having different designs, while enjoying similar zooming/floating characteristics.

    Dreadnought, Toy Submarine, Pool & Beach<

    Congrats to the Royal Navy for naming their new Submarines after the Dreadnought. If you don't know why that is cool - google it (Battle of Trafalgar)! This design is intended for pool or beach use, Product features include: 3 part construction of main hull. sized for a Lulzbot Mini-printer. Each end of the hull parts is specially designed to hold onto heated beds but not too much! the parts are easily joined with hot glue. The sub can be printed hollow and gravel or marbles can be added as ballast. Print the hull solid and add buoyancy to achieve the best performance for your kiddies. We printed it hollow and added ballast in the form of beach sand. after it settles it makes good ballast and can be shaken out to make it more buoyant. Gravel works best because it will not escape through the 3mm vent holes. A screw cap makes adding ballast easy and allows for faster drainage. Tie a string through the cap and the hull to keep it from being lost. We suggest printing this from vibrant materials so that it is easier to see in the water. Diving into this thing would hurt - loosing a black sub at the beach would be very easy. The rear fins could hurt little feet if dropped on them - keep this in mind especially when the submarine is full of ballast. See below for more model details about this genuine STLhive.com part.
