Accused of being fake, witchcraft and simply impossible..
This kinetic sculpture is inspired by the unlimited freedom of 3d printing,
it wobbles and turns with a slight movement of the hand.
Now give it a good spin or puff of air and it erupts in erratic and wild behavior.

This is the 5cm / 2" version, see the Gyro the Forms section for other shapes and sizes.
Corner stand available separately, or get the complete set below!

NEW!
Now also available as a pendant/keyfob!
In both Extra small and Small

Instructions
It is composed of four concentric cubes, each one spinning around a different axis.
The model needs some minor assembly:
Each inner cube has two knobs which need to be placed into the corresponding clamps in the parent cube. It's easiest to start with the inner most and continue outward.
And then... spin it away !

Notes
Do not be alarmed if your cube will not run smoothly at first!
Because of minor variations as a result of the printing process,
some need to wear in a little but will loosen up very quickly.
In the example video I am blowing on it to make it move, it's that smooth.

Be a little careful with (the assembly of) the Alumide version as this material is slightly less flexible/robust than the Strong & Flexible materials.

Get a complete set.
A default set consists of an Alumide Gyro the Cube and a White stand, you can change the materials in your cart later. +

A pendant for metal printing.  I have trouble believing that these are photos and not renders...something about this object feels very unlikely.

If M.C. Escher had owned fidget toys, he would have worn "One ring to rule the ball" as a pendant. A single, continuous line contains a small ball that makes orbit after mesmerizing orbit but cannot escape, always held down in four directions. Available in solid, durable stainless steel with optional antique bronze and gold plated finishes to fit any context, "One ring to rule the ball" now also includes a free rubber necklace so that you can confuse your mind any time the fancy strikes you! One customer echoes many others in saying, "I couldn't put it down. This thing is just too fun!"

Purchases by those gracious customers have now paid for the design time on this piece so it is available on a pay-what-you-want basis. Ordering from this page contributes 5$ towards continuing work such as the new, even more impossible "One ring to pwn the ball" (just released October 18th!) which can be found at http://www.shapeways.com/model/145172/one_ring_to_pwn_the_ball.html and the open-source "Ultimate Desk Toy" at http://www.shapeways.com/model/109166/ultimate_desk_toy.html .

Nuke Lamp it's is a unique table lamp, its complex surfaces were created using real fluid dynamics simulations.
IMPORTANT:
The lamp consists of 2 parts, then you will receive 2 packages.... (open more info)...
one containing the 3D printed  piece from Shapeways, and a Kit containing the bulb and stand from Veneridesign, then please contact me info@veneridesign.com  for shipping address.
Thank you.

A 3-dimensional version of the Hilbert space filling curve. As shown in the photos, if printed in one of the "Strong & Flexible" plastics, it can be used as a bracelet or hair accessory. It takes a little time to reform back as a cube after being stretched, but it seems that leaving it overnight does the job.

A pendant for metal printing.  I think this may be the most adorable thing ever.

Resembling a bat or dragon, these biotech earrings are the wings of an alien exoform.

The Lotus top is a graceful form that embraces the upper body, accentuating the shoulders and clavicles. It's name comes from its unique design that blooms at the center opening, allowing the wearer to put her head through and rest it comfortably on the neck and shoulders.

"I see you..."

Default Ring size is 9-3/4

Images shown after light polishing.

A self-referential tessellation of the sphere.

This is a little delicate as the lines are 1.5mm thick, but it seems sturdy enough.

This steampunk style knotted cog was procedurally generated using 3-dimensional spherical geometry, then stereographically projected into our (mostly) Euclidean universe.

The tale of the sneak eating it's own tail, where did it end?

Medium pendant available in multiple materials, displayed in Antique Bronze Glossy.

(Necklace not included.)

Inner diameter ~ 1,5cm
Outer diameter ~ 3,5cm
Depth ~ 1,2 cm

For robustness this version is not completely free floating like the sculpture
A smaller pendant is also available here.

Horse-s4

From above, a classic Egyptian scarab; from below, a real scarab.

The scarab is in a typical defensive posture, legs folded. As a result, it presents a strikingly different aspect when turned over.

This model is scaled to fit well in the hand, and because of the folded posture, is robust enough to travel well in a pocket. Mine goes with me everywhere. Warning: the claws are as sharp as they look.

An alternative seashell.I'm very fond of my own instance of this design, and that doesn't happen often.A smaller version is here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/215947/whelk__10_5_cm_.html

Even fidget toys get to have a "2.0" . An updated version of the popular "One ring to rule the ball" design with fewer twists, thicker wire, and a bigger ball, "One ring to pwn the ball" takes its steampunk ancestry in a smooth, contemporary direction that's twice as ruthless with your mind--it seems doubly impossible that this ball could be solidly contained by just one short, twisting wire. With no hole in the middle for a rubber or leather strap, you'll have to go to http://www.shapeways.com/model/145208/one_ring_to_pwn_the_ball_pendant.html to wear it around your neck. But in both cases you'll get solid stainless steel with optional bronze antiquing or gold plating, and a look that ties brains in knots.

Earring or pendant ? what you want!

No robotic avians were harmed in the making of this product.

These earrings are sized for 18 gauge piercings. They should fit most people with pierced ears, but if you need a smaller gauge, check out the fishhook version in my shop.
If you need a larger gauge, just ask and I can resize them for you. I will continue to add other sizes as I make them.

Disclaimer on the images: any photos labeled "polished" are stainless steel that has been hand polished with a dremel. The stainless that you order will have more of a texture to it. I haven't yet made these for myself in bronze glossy, gold plated glossy, or either types of silver, but if you want the highly polished look your best bet is going to be silver glossy.

Ornamental Bonsai Tree sculpture. Great gift for a bonsai enthusiast or admirer.

An iPhone 4 and 4S case inspired by the new film "Prometheus" and the art of H.R Giger. The film's premise questions the origin of mankind, of whether intelligent alien life had a role in the evolution of our species. This case evokes an alien artifact, and with the iPhone embedded snugly in this shell the narrative created is one where the iPhone appears to be a piece of alien technology discovered amid ancient ruins.

Remnants of a foreign creature perhaps?
This shell only allows a glowing glimpse of what it holds inside.

A large and marveling light cover with a space in the middle with room for Luxeon LED's or other power-saving lights.
It hides the source from direct view resulting in a gentle glow emerging.

Other sizes and shapes available.

These robotic wings are designed to be used with standard earring fishhooks and a jump ring to connect (findings are not included at this point, so you'll have to add those). A good alternative to the standard Bladewings if you don't have 18g or larger piercings.

A warrior-style pendant, inspired by Japanese samurai masks, Norse mythology and Maori aesthetics. The pendant looks best in polished silver, and can be hung on any slim silver pendant chain.
