The third public evolution of the Animaris Geneticus Parvus. #7 has evolved legs, with pointy feet instead of flat. Featuring a fully working Theo Jansen mechanism as used in his work "the Rhinoceros".
Also see our new Propeller Propulsion add-on, to have your Strandbeest walk autonomously!
The mechanism is printed assembled, and will work without further assembly right after birth from the printer.
A few tips to consider:
- After birth there might be a little powder left in some joints, or it might not go supersmooth. This will fix itself after the animal has a little bit of practice!
- Some surfaces work better than others. The legs require a little friction, and a flat surface. So for example: A rough table or floor, thin flat carpeting, or a thin rubber sheet. It will slip on a too smooth surface.
- The best way to push it is by its nameplate. Do not push down, but forward.
- The beest is light, but quite strong. It can actually be dropped without breaking. It is not a "toy" however, and not suitable for children. The 3D printer material is easy to stain so clean hands are advised.

The world's smallest fully functional Rubik's Cube! 6mm to an edge. This puzzle will not come as it appears in the pictures. It will come in regular frosted ultra detail. For my puzzle, I assembled it, then coloured it black with a permanent marker. After that, I cut out tiny stickers for it and applied them. Also, this will come with enough pieces for two cubes, just in case anything breaks, or gets lost. Be very careful with this puzzle because the parts (especially the core) can break. Don't force any turns. Additionally, due to the tiny size, sometimes the core will occasionally print frozen together, and not be able move. Finally, it is very hard to assemble.

Own the Tesla Valve, as per the original design of Nikola Tesla, patented in 1920. See the video below to observe the valvular conduit in action.
Nikola Tesla invented this valvular conduit as a valve for his engines. Materials at the time were pretty bad, and valves were unreliable. Tesla figured that by removing any moving parts from a valving mechanism, he could create a simpler and more robust valve. The hook regions in the Tesla Valve reroute the fluid back in on itself creating a bit of resistance. All the hooks added together do a good job of arresting the fluid, especially when the gas or liquid is pulsed through the valvular conduit.
When you hold the valve in your hands after opening your shapeways package you are possessed of a strange kinship with the historical figure of Nikola Tesla. Pressing your lips to the valve, and blowing through it, you see that it actually works. In the resistive direction your breath is nullified to a mere whisper by the Tesla Valve. And in the non-resistive direction, air flows through unimpeded. It is startling the effect, and to think something so interesting as this valvular conduit was made so long ago.
I made this valve to commemorate Tesla's birthday on the 10th of July, 1856. Owning this valve is a way of recognizing a forgotten genius of unparralled creativity.

Here's the Ripper! Perfect for sawing horrid space Zombies into little piles of evil parts. A great weapon for any TF who loves to make a sickening mess out of things!
The Ripper folds up when not in use, just like the game model, or swings down for murder time! The handle can slide over to accommodate TF's with wider arms. But sadly this design wont work with all TF's. The top part of the handle is removable so it can be inserted into most 5mm TF's hands.

This is a legends scale roller to go with your legends scale Optimus Prime toy. Optimus may not come with a trailer but that doesn't mean he can't have his little buddy with him. More than companionship, Roller now gives Optimus additional fire power when needed.
This roller comes with plug in wheels and has a 3mm port on the top to accommodate any cyberverse/legends scale weapons. Roller can transform from vehicle mode to gun mode by flipping out his cannons and flipping down the rear section. Roller's included gun can be used by any of your cyberverse/legends figures as well as plug into his top port. Plugging the gun into the underside of the port adds the handle for Roller's gun mode. When plugged in one way the handle has a 3mm peg for smaller figures but when plugged in the other way it provides a 5mm peg for your larger deluxes or voyager figures. This little guy would work well with your Kreon collection too.
Check the images above for assembly and transforming instructions, larger versions of the images and more photos of the final product can be found on my Facebook page: WuLongToys
$if you plan on ordering multiple items of mine, contact me first and I can group them into a single order to save you a few dollars.$
