The Search Through the Thingiverse!

Amazing: Turbo Entabulator, Fully Mechanical Computer

[1]

While it requires some springs, pulleys, and rubber bands for full assembly, it has 3 single digit base-10 counters that can process a chain of 10 position punch cards. For fun you can calculate some of the first few digits of the Fibonnaci sequence!

Funny: Beefy Shark

[2]

While reddit was busy with r/birdswitharms, Thingiverse was giving this terror of the deep a mean right hook. I honestly couldn't stop laughing at first sight of this mean beast and hope i get to see more sea creatures with arms in the future.

Useless: Useless Machine Arm

[3]

If you have never seen one before here is an example [4] but "The Most Useless Machine" is an incredible feat of.... technology I suppose. No matter how many times you flick the switch, its able to come right back and flick if off (until it's batteries run out). That is why I believe that the "Useless Machine Arm" is literally the most useless thing i could find on Thingiverse.
