MAIN PURPOSE: Stack blocks to overhang beyond the table edge
A stacking puzzle about how builders spanned before arches. Each block carries engraved marks at a half, quarter, sixth and eighth of its length: stack eight, each one set back to the next mark, and the top block ends up entirely beyond the edge of the table, held by nothing but balance.

Print eight, same settings so they weigh the same. Prints as shown on its floor, no supports. Stacked parts are fused into one print.
MAIN PURPOSE: Hide a wall cable behind a fluted pilaster
A cable cover disguised as a fluted classical pilaster. The TV or lamp cable runs down the wall inside the open back, the fluted face hides it, and the pieces stack end to end to any height, so a cable drop becomes a piece of period joinery you can paint to match the wall.

MAIN PURPOSE: Frame four instant photos as window panes
A sash window frame for four instant photos. Print it face down: the glazing bars divide four panes sized for Instax Wide pictures, the photos slide in from behind with their white borders tucked under the bars, and a hole in the top rail takes a picture hook so your views look out of a window.

MAIN PURPOSE: Hold books with a cage full of collected pebbles
A bookend that is a little gabion wall. Fill the open cage with pebbles from the beach, a river or a holiday: the stones become the weight that holds the books and stay on show through the grid, a way to keep and look at the finds that usually end up in a drawer.

MAIN PURPOSE: Throw coloured light through window tracery
A window rose for sunlight. Tape coloured acetate or tissue behind the seven round lights, hang it on a thread in a sunny window, and the twelve-lobed tracery throws a pool of coloured light across the room as the sun moves, like a rose window in a small church.

MAIN PURPOSE: Stretch fabric into a glowing saddle roof
A tensile lamp you finish with a scrap of stretch fabric. Two diagonal columns stand tall and two stay low; hook the corners of a square of old tights or lycra over the four tops and the fabric pulls into a saddle, a hyperbolic paraboloid like a tent roof, glowing over an LED puck on the floor.

MAIN PURPOSE: Compose a pavilion of sliding walls on a slotted deck
The floor slab of a tabletop pavilion kit. Six slots run in both directions across the deck: plug Free Plan Walls into whichever you like, lay the Free Plan Roof on their top tongues and you have a modernist pavilion with walls sliding past each other, a stage for rings, figures or a single treasure.

Print flat; slots are 3.5 mm for 3 mm walls.
MAIN PURPOSE: Stand a wall between the Free Plan deck and roof
The wall plate of the Free Plan pavilion kit. A 4 mm tongue at the foot drops into any deck slot and the shoulders sit on the slab, while the 3 mm tongue on top locates the roof. Print several in a marble, onyx or translucent filament for the look of stone and glass walls.

MAIN PURPOSE: Float a roof slab on the Free Plan walls
The floating roof of the Free Plan kit. Three slots catch the top tongues of the walls standing in the matching deck slots, so the thin slab hovers on the walls and overhangs the deck, the defining gesture of a modernist pavilion, and its top makes a second display level.

MAIN PURPOSE: Stack notched bars into a log-cabin pot cover
One log of a log-cabin crib. Every bar has half-depth notches top and bottom near both ends, so bars laid crosswise interlock course by course like a cabin corner. Stack sixteen into a cachepot round a nursery pot, a lantern round an LED candle or a crib for pens, as tall as you like.
