Short on time, but still want to 3D print something awesome? No problem! We’ve created a list of a few models you can download for free on Thingiverse that you can print in an hour or less! (And since we charge based on time at the MADLab, these objects will cost you only $3 to print)!

1. Tugboat

Toot toot! This little boat can be printed in 45 minutes! Make sure you change the infill density to <11%, and the layer height to 0.3mm. If you have a bit more time, you can make a multi-colored boat by printing all the pieces separately, using multiple colours!

2. Stretchlet

3. Low Poly Fox

This little fella can be printed in 50 minutes or less! Just make sure you scale him down to 60% size for a smaller and faster version of the original!

4. Cable Holder

This object will only take you 25 minutes to print, but might save you hours of cord untangling time! Apply double-sided tape to the back to adhere to surfaces!

4. Anatomical Heart

This heart model is realistic, but quick to print due to its hollow interior. Scale down to 60% of the original size to get it done in under an hour!
