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

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.

Phamora Ceramics!

Is inside out? Or is it not? Perhaps both?
This is an Amphora from another space-time.
An ancient object which we knew had to exist.
And after years of excavation in other dimensions we finally found it!

A very exotic vase with a unique near-impossible shape, suitable for use with dry flowers and striking enough to stand alone.
Theoretically it can also hold water in the toroidal bottom part, read practical details below.

Very suitable as a wedding gift to symbolize love and infinity.
The number eight (or sideways infinity) plays an important role in this piece,
both in the number of arms and the cross-section of this model.


Notes:
To improve print quality and after some deliberation with production, this model has been slightly updated on August 24th 2012; The arms have been thickened and the holes enlarged to improve strength and glazing.
Still I recommend not to put a lot of stress on the handles.
Refer to rendered images for the latest version. I will update photo's asap.
The bottom it stands on, is unglazed, which is invisible during normal display.
All clearly visible parts will be fully glazed, but there is a chance some parts on in the inside might not, which may compromise it's ability to hold water.
While production does their absolute best and all recent prints turned out perfectly glazed and hold water, due to the complexities involved, there is no 100% guarantee for to be absolutely watertight.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!
If you want to get a polished and fully functional QR code pendant, set the delivery address to my one (I will provide it by a private message). I need to get the product first to finish it and then send to you.
This QR code tag can contain any encoded message that you wish (min. 18, max. 32 characters). If you want to make it a functional url tag, you need to include "http://" part!!!

The QR codes are now used in many spheres of life. They can contain numbers and letters, so you can encode any kind of text information, be it address, phone number, message, name, web link, etc.

Most of the modern mobile phones (and apple iphone was one of the first to feature this technology) can decode the QR codes, making QR-coding a funny, easy and peculiar way to say something.

You can use this tag as a keychain or as a pendant.

Also, check out this colored plastic tag!! It's cheaper, it's bigger and it's colored! :)

Two letters fused into a 3D block. What an eyecatching way to showcase two initials! Yours will be ¾-1" (2-2.5cm) tall depending on the letters. Choose from Comic, Typewriter, Block or Script font, shown in the picture above.

A larger size is here.

Do you need a hanging loop? If neither letter has a closed loop (like O, P, B etc.) and you want to use this as a pendant, you will need that. Let me know in the instructions box please? Thanks....

Do three letters work? Sometimes, find out more here.

The Kaleidoscope Clock is a two-part model for constructing a clock face. This is Part A of the model, the main frame of the clock. Part B is the background, numbers, and hands of the clock and is available at http://www.shapeways.com/model/580493

Each of the two parts of the clock is available in any of the Strong & Flexible colors, allowing you to create a clock face in the colors you prefer.

You will also need a clock movement. The kit is designed to be used with a high-torque clock movement available at http://www.clockparts.com/clock-part/high-torque-movement-aa-cell/

Part A of the kit is ready to use out of the bag. Part B is sprued and will need to be clipped apart with nail clippers or utility blade. Use a gel super glue to assemble the model. Don't use regular super glue as the Strong & Flexible material is porous and will absorb the glue. The gel variety of super glue does not soak into the material. Assemble the clock as follows:

1. Apply a tiny dab of gel super glue to the flange around each number and insert in the appropriate place on the frame of the clock face.

2. Apply a tiny dab of gel super glue to each of the intersection grooves on the background piece, line it up with the frame, and squeeze together momentarily at each intersection point. Err on the side of less glue.

3. Push the shaft of the clock movement through the hole in the frame, add the rubber and brass washers (included with the clock movement), and add and tighten the brass hex nut (also included with the movement).

4. (Optional) Apply an acrylic spray clearcoat to the assembled face and hands.

5. Push the hour hand onto the protruding white post on the clock movement. You don't need glue to attach the hour hand. It's designed to be snug.

6. Push the minute hand onto the brass post at the end of the movement and thread the brass cap nut (included with the clock movement) onto the post.

If you have any questions about construction of the clock after you receive Part A, Part B, and the clock movement, please contact me at chuck@madebywombat.com

The concept came to me when I awoke one morning. What resulted was the Weave Cup, an appealing design that keep your hands cool. Done in collaboration with Ramsés Chavez on GrabCAD

Small decorative plate

«TRANSILVANIA» REMEMBERED
• One of several studies I made in preparation for a monumental project (on a much larger scale) entitled: «TRANSILVANIA REMEMBERED»; the project is about «TRANSILVANIA» (note the Romanian spelling) the quite famous Romanian passenger ship that was in continuous service from just before WW2 up to the end of Ceausescu's era in Romania; I happen to know a very interesting WW2 true story about events aboard this ship that could very easily be the script for a box office hit movie; more details about this project at a later date • The whole assembly comprising of the ANCHOR, with its CHAIN, leading through the bottle's neck to the floating SHIP inside the partially water-filled BOTTLE, were successfully printed together, as "one part", in White Strong and Flexible by Shapeways; the red ship is an identical copy of the one that is inside the bottle; it was printed separately in Terracotta Strong and Flexible to test its floating ability.

A sleek, luxury ceramic holder made to elegantly contain bathroom items in one piece. It can be configured to support various typical items including soap dispensers, toothbrushes, razors, contact lens cases and others. Can be ordered in all the ceramic color offerings from Shapeways.

This is a plastic version of a popular stainless steel QR-Code tag that you can find here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/167409/f669f17fc5aefc1e18b8b8d91fbc03aa?li=

Can you imagine a modern person without an iphone, windows phone or a smartphone running on android?.. Many of these smartphones come with already installed decoding-apps, and when they don't one can always download one of hundreds of free apps, which means that literally every second person can decode a QR-tag.

QR-Code tagging is becoming a popular trend in media and everyday life. They are not just a new generation of bar codes. QR is more than that. QRs are nice and sexy, and most of all QR codes look so interesting that you want actually to DECODE them!

All this makes a personal QR-code tag an absolutely cool widget for you or a great gift for your friends. It doesn't just look good, it FUNCTIONS! Encode a message, a link to your website or online portfolio, your additional emergency info, or any any other text in this little tag, or use it as a one-of-a-kind business card!

Moreover: you decide what color you want it. But, please, note that the dark "dots" should be dark enough in comparison to the light-colored "surface".

Please note, that with extensive use the colors will fade out over time and scratches will appear.

A 16cm high clasp mug whose interior is formed by five miniature, upturned Fan Vaults (an English Gothic innovation from the 14th Century), contained within a simple circular exterior which opens up with five triangular cuts at the base to reveal the complex geometry underneath. As you drink, and the top of your tea (or coffee) descends, the changing geometric section through the mug is brought into sharp, ornamental relief.

An Islamic ornamented tealight candle holder that casts beautiful shadows. The intricate arabesque pattern comes from a traditional lattice window in the Cairo al-Rifa'i mosque.

I coined the word "geocube" because this design (assembled from a unique modular element)  is actually based upon the geometry of the cube.
