Do you really believe every snowflake is unique? Until we can really preserve and analyze every single snowflake that has ever fallen to earth how can we really know? Really, none of that matters when you can get 3D printed post modern snowflakes to hang from your tree thanks to Kimotion Arts.

Whether it be Batman, Lego Man or He-Man inspired snowflake, or even a snowflake for the folks in Colorado and Washington State, there is sure to be a 3D printed snowflake for you. 

Why spend hours in painstaking, meticulous labor when you can simply 3D print a ship in a bottle? using Objet Connex 3D printer's ability to print two separate material types in one pass makes it possible to print an opaque object within a clear object...

What would YOU do if you could 3D print in a clear material such as this? 

The Eggbot designed by mygadgetlife and 3D printed in ceramics by Shapeways solves the problem, kinda.  Let the robot bring you breakfast and forget the chicken, until dinner time.

To celebrate the launch of the Shapeways Gift Guide and the impending Black Friday avalanche of traffic to your Shapeways shops this weeks Tag Tuesday is gift. Tag your designs with gift to help people find your designs that are suitable for giving this holiday gifting season.  Over the course of the day we will take a look back at the tag gift and will try and include more in preparation for Black Friday.  We will be doing some promotions over Black Friday so ensure your shop is ready with tags, descriptions and images, yes images!!!!.

Following are a few products in the Shapeways shops tagged with gift, what are yours tagged with?

We have seen our 3D printed ceramics used for quite a few applications that take advantage of the heat resistance and food safe properties, but this is the first smoking hot design to use those same properties for smoking tobacco.  Pookas has also designed the Skull Tobacco Pipe with a Bronze Stainless Steel mouthpiece, a clever use of combined 3D printed materials. 

This is a fully working tobacco pipe. The head is made 3D printed in glazed ceramics, the mouthpiece is 3D printed in antique bronze glossy.

A pipe is definitely a matchmaker. It makes you look distinguished and sexy. Like a successful scientist, a confident playboy or an experienced sailor.

Yeah, tabacco is bad for your health, so use bubbles instead! Works even better cause it gives you a great lemon flavor, but this depends on the dish soap you use. The ladies will appreciate it!

Pookas as bubble blowing playboy.
