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.

This set of 4 eggcups is printed on demand in laser sintered polyamide. The eggcup can hold a medium egg and due to the flexible nature of the printing material, it will adapt its shape to larger eggs as well.
The product will be shipped in standard Shapeways packaging and delivered within 10 working days.
Shipping costs vary upon destination, and will be calculated when checking out.
The available colors will vary by season and are therefore time limited.

Inspired by the well known mobius strip (discovered by August Ferdinand Möbius in 1858), an interest in the unusual, and 3D modelling, I created the Twin Rail mobius pendant.
A half shell and 3 rails form a bearing-like structure to encapsulate a train of 6mm balls in a mind-warping cage with a twisting, fascinating movement bringing to life the only pendent of its kind in the world.
Includes a 4mm loop for attaching to a necklace or leather cord.
See the photographs with retro-fitted 31 6mm chrome steel ball bearings... in the bottom photo, the balls have been heated until they 'blue'... check out the video to see how they move by clicking on the little icon below the camera above.
Also available smaller and in silver, Twin Rail Mobius Pendant - small
Note: this item is the shell alone, you will need to aquire and fit the balls (31 x 6mm or 29 x 1/4 in) as well as a suitable necklace to hang it from, a 3mm leather cord works well.

Dodecahedral sibling of Gyro the Cube.
Same principle, more faces, more rings and more fun ;-)
Made of five nested dodecahedra, each one is limited to rotate about it's own axis.
This is the 6.5cm / 2.5" version, see the Gyro the Forms
Experimental corner stand available here
Instructions
For tighter clearances it is printed with the hinges out of place. So this model needs a little manual assembly. Each element has two "knobs" which need to be "clicked" into the corresponding "clamps" in the parent element.
It's easiest to start with the inner one and then continue outwards.
And then... rotate away !

This is an iphone 4/4s case
This is the cleaner and more sleek version of the all in one iphone case.. Main difference is that this one does not have a bottle opener. Are you tired of carrying a bunch of other stuff in your pockets? do you ever wonder i wish i could just get one item that does it all? Well after a lot of research and personal pocket experience i have ben able to design a product that covers pretty much everything you will need out in the road.. Wallet, credit card holder, id holder, bussiness card holder, money clip, earphone organizer.. all in a tiny very compact case that will also prevent damages to your iphone.. this is like the Macgyver of the iphone cases.. this is like the swiss army of wallets.. this is like the master of money clips.. this is insanity and this case can be yours for the cheap price of $$ **prices depend on the materials..
**If you want more space for more cards without the bulk i would suggest getting a slim wallet. They are extremely thin.

The little cousin to my Twin Rail Mobius pendant.
This pendant is designed to take a 4mm ball, or it can be left as it is.
The pendant features an eye to accomodate upto 4mm necklace.
Looks stunning in Shapeways 3D printed Sterling Silver!
After many successful prints of this model in Silver prior to December '12 Shapeways have decided that this model is no longer printable in Sliver - If you order in silver please expect the order to be rejected.
