Tomo Designs

Design to print. Print to make. Make to learn. Learn to design.

About

My name is Tom Ouwerkerk.

As a designer, I am fascinated by the everyday world where the things that are taken for granted are the most interesting to change. I am also very interested in learning new things. I want to develop myself by taking on new challenges. I am a positive person who does not give up when faced with a setback but learns from mistakes.

Mission

I design 3dprintable designs to learn and inspire others to make their own project. My designs are downloaded over 500.000 times and have reached millions. I share them for free and make videos/tutorials about my design process.

Levitating Lamp

The standard lamp can are available in many alternative kinds, however practically all of them characteristic a singular bulb that’s uninspired and solely responds to a light-weight swap or probably an app. Designer Tom Ouwerkerk, however, has designed a artistic mild accent price-winning lamp that’s fully 3D-printed and consists of an clever central bulb that “magically” levitates above the bottom, defying gravity.

Motorized Turn Signals

Turn signals are becoming more and more popular with cyclists. So it’s no surprise that we’re seeing more and more Arduino projects that give people the tools they need to ride safely on our busy roads.

The first question you might ask about Tom Ouwerkerk’s latest Arduino project is why it’s motorized. His objective was to make a turn signal unit that’s as compact as possible. When you consider the amount of space you have on a bicycle frame, it makes a lot of sense.

His solution was to use two eight-LED NeoPixel strips, side-by-side. The small housing they’re mounted in has a servo that’s driven by an Arduino Uno. The servo slides the LED strips side to side as Ouwerkerk make a turn signal.

Middle finger keyholder

This design has taken the world by storm. Getting milions of views on Tiktok, Instagram and Youtube. Being sold on every major website in the west.

This key hook does not need any additional non-3d printable parts. I want it to be easy as possible to make so that is why you do not need any other parts.

Easter Cats

Easter is near and I have a really cute surprise that you can find in the grass and under the bushes.

These Easter Cats are contest winning designs that I made for easter.

There are 5 cute faces that you can choose from.

You can print a hollow 2 part version where you can store presents inside or print them fully solid.

Chunky Bum Pot

This is the price-winning Chunky Bum Pot that I have designed.

This chunky boy can hold plants, pencils, and much more for you while being a happy fella.

Pocket Catapult

The price-winning pocket catatpult

This print is an easy 3-part assembly. You don’t need any supports or glue. Just print and click it together.

Perfect to test your printer or just as a fidget on your desk. It makes use of a spring gear that will bring back the knob that you are moving back to the center every time. I can even use it with one hand and reload with the other hand.

Raspberry Pi Pico Keyboard

This is the easiest Raspberry Pi Pico to Keyboard tutorial. You can make in easy visualized steps a functioning Macro keyboard, Password keyboard, or anything that you can do with a keyboard.

Developed together with The Makersbase I have made a project for children to introduce them to coding, soldering, and making! It is a lesson that can be completely done without any help.

3Dprint Fidgets!

I want to dedicate this place to my fidget obsession.
