Alright! It’s closing time for most people, so here are the final three things in your Friday the 13th Thingiverse Quest. I’m posting them all here in descending order, and waiting for your replies in the comments. Click “Read More” to see the entire list.

Remember that you have to give me the appropriate Thingiverse ID numbers (e.g. “123456″ from www.thingiverse.com/thing:123456) for items 1-13 below.

Thing 13.

The only four-digit Thing on this list, #13 is out of place in terms of seasons (at least in New York). But by the look of it, it fits right in with Passover!

Thing 12.

Whoo whoo whooo can find this Thing for me? This helpful accessory has been bringing eyes and ears together since 2009.

Thing 11.

It took 13 months to build, and you may be surprised to know it does indeed have a 13th floor.

My friend Bruce had a pretty nice suggestion for limiting the number of posts involved in this Quest. So I’ll knock it down to this one and just one more! Here are your next three Things:

Thing 8.

The maker of this Thing says it holds a particular amount of a particular kind of beverage. Sounds delicious!

Thing 9.

Ever sat on the dock of the Bay? Maybe you saw the real-life version of Thing 9 while you were there! A San Francisco landmark.

Thing 10.

Hang this elegant Thing in your closet to keep things tidy. This may be less relevant to women.

Thing 7.

This is either a lovely tunnel for ants or a perfect accessory for underneath your desk. What Thingiverse Thing am I talking about?

We’re halfway through, so it’s a perfect time to remind you that this is not an official MakerBot challenge. This is mine and mine alone, and your reward will be my Endless respect indeed.

Thing 6.

Right hand rules and coils. Find this Thing and the Thingiverse user who uploaded it might just lead you out of Egypt.

Six down on your quest for the Freaky Friday grail!

Thing 5.

So we’re not supposed to walk under ladders, but would it be safe to walk under this? Because if not, that’s 7 years’ bad luck for roughly 7 million people a year.

Go get the fifth Thing for your quest and keep following till the end of the day! We’ve got eight more after this.

Remember: you’re looking for Thingiverse items with ID numbers that add to 13.

Thing 4.

The Thingiverse Friday the 13th Quest is rolling, and I hope you’re having fun.

Mother’s day is a mere month away. Feel connected to your mother, kinda, with this Thing. I hope this clue isn’t too much of a stretch.

Thing 3.

Okay, I’m sorry. Maybe this is a little hoeky, but this guy made a lot of us dream and wonder. Find him.

Go!

Thing 2.

The second Thing on your Friday the 13th Thingiverse Quest would look lovely on a coffee table.

Callooh! Callay!

At some point in the ridiculous past, we became afear’d of the coincidence of the 13th of anything and the inauspiciousness of Friday. The power of the two combined is hard to resist, and even the least superstitious among us allow ourselves to worry just that little bit extra when Friday the 13th rolls around.

I was having a look at the history of the day and being reminded of the world of numerology. We embrace the power of twelve — 12 apostles, 12 jurors — but shun 13; not just the numbers themselves but other numbers whose digits add up to 12 and 13.

In light of this, I’ve crafted a little Thingiverse quest. The prize is my 100% money-back guarantee that no harm should ever befall you on Friday the 13th which is demonstrably supernatural. That and everlasting glory on these blog pages, which is nothing to sneeze at. (Bless you.)

Here’s the deal. You have to find the 13 things from the clues below. Each of these 13 things have Thingiverse ID numbers that add up to 13. I’ll post a new Thing from the quest every 20 minutes or so, and your job is to comment on the very last post with your entire list in the correct order.

To make this easier, you should know that every Thingiverse Thing has unique url in the following form:
