The filigree design over the skull symbolizes ever growing renewal over the ghost of the past. This is the original design as featured on Kickstarter. It became their #1 most funded sculpture project of all time. Small is pictured sitting in the hand. See pic of all 3 sizes together for comparison.

An espresso cup specially designed with fins, to ensure the successful deployment of your rocket fuel. All systems are go! Paraboloid bowl holds approximately 1.5 fl oz. or 45 mL. (Note that I previously claimed the cup held 60 mL. While my 3D modelling software still reports that as the internal volume, some combination of the printing process and glazing is robbing me of internal volume. Contact me if you'd be interested in a larger, more expensive 60 mL cup.)
After receiving feedback from Shapeways, I've created a slightly revised model for the cup. I'm told that this model will be easier to print and glaze, leading to a more reliable product. The changes are minor -- it's a little wider, a little heavier, and has more rounding on edges that were previously sharp (a 3D rendering shows the differences above).
Update (April 13th, 2013): The cup has had a great run on Shapeways, and I deeply appreciate the attention and positive feedback it has received. The bad news is that I've got to stop offering it for sale here. The good news is that the cup is now available commercially! It's being manufactured by Fred and Friends, sold under the name "Blast Off! Espresso Cup Set". It's already available for purchase online (perpetualkid.com, thinkgeek.com), and I'm sure you'll be able to find it in your favourite housewares store soon.

The nocturnal (or nocturlabe) is a very old instrument for telling time at night by measuring the stars. While concept is ancient, this design is all original. It is fully functional (all dials move properly) and meant to be worn as a pendant. This is now available for sale, as it has been tested and works nicely.
How to Use the Nocturnal:
The top of the nocturnal is where you see a bit of a ring around a spike. This ring can be strung with a chain and makes it possible to wear the nocturnal as a pendant. When reading the nocturnal, this end of the piece should always be up.
Your first step is to set the outermost dial on the date. The months are shown as letters, with January and December at the top, and the progression of the months running *counterclockwise*. Note that the exact position of the letter actually marks the middle of that month. Look closer at the piece and you will see the line that separates the months between the letters.
Now, hold your nocturnal up to the starry night sky, making sure that the date is still properly set. Locate the North Star centred in the hole in the middle of the Nocturnal. Then use the central dial (the one that looks like a pointer) to point to the two stars at the end of the bowl of the *big* dipper.
Once you have this all set. Look closer at the pointer and you will see that within the pointer is an eliptical ring and within this is a smaller pointer. This smaller pointer points to a roman numeral, which shows you the time.
Note again, that the roman numeral is centred on the middle of the hour. So, if the little pointer points in the centre of the numeral, it is in fact half past.
So now you can tell time at night without a powered time piece. This is great for night owls, vampires, and those who appreciate a gothic or steampunk look.

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 !

I created the skeleton of a skeletal Lepidoptera. The Death's Head Hawkmoth (Acherontia atropos), seen on The Silence of the Lambs , has a skull marking on its back. I made a full human-like bone structure for the moth, with the grinning skull protruding from its back.
The model is very thin, yet sturdy and flexible. Detail level is fantastic, and the natural texture of the 3d printing process gives it a bone-like appearance that works wonders.
Yes, moths don't have endoskeletons, that's the whole point...

A Sierpinski tetrahedron, the 3D version of the Sierpinski triangle, stage 5 I think. There are 4096 of the smallest tetrahedrons. The model has 499994 faces.
Update:
The edges are now almost 18 cm (7 in) long and it stands about 14.5 cm (5.7 in) high.
The model has been updated because the smallest struts were a bit too small to be printed. So it's now 1.5 times bigger in all directions.
The pictures are of the previous smaller version, the new version has been ordered successfully a number of times in WSF.
I created the model using POVray and MeshLab.

Ever lose the little plate with nowhere to put your cup of espresso? It's confusing. Designed to eliminate the need for a plate or coaster, the plateless espresso cup can sit directly on the table without leaving a ring behind. Without the plate, you can move from room to room with your espresso and still have one free hand. You'll find yourself wondering why espresso cups ever got involved with the little plates in the first place. Can hold up to 90ml.

A matching pair of earrings, resembling small twigs.
Absolutely stunning in the new Premium Silver!
These are actual photos!
Also wonderful in the other metal finished.
For example, the steel printing process adds an almost natural texture to the twigs.
Which also works very well in bronze or gold finishes!
More earrings
Silver earring hooks included, courtesy of Shapeways!
One twig is approximately 30x19x7mm.

On Proper Usage and Inhibited Ingestion:
Why is it that we find the cup so unappetizing? Could it have originated from survival tactics where we relate our proximity to another's teeth as a threat of life, a reminder of predator and prey, poison and contamination?
Is this object then successful in its design to prevent gluttonous behavior should food and drink only be offered in the cup?

This ring will be avalable to order shortly once we are 100% happy with the design.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Artiodactyla
Family: Cervidae
Subfamily: Capreolinae
Genus: Odocoileus
Species: Odocoileus virginianus, the White-tailed Deer.
The word ‘deer' once referred to all wild animals that weren’t easily caught or domesticated – they are animals that can not be owned. O. virginianus is native to the continent America. Native Americans and early settlers utilized their hides to make buckskin leather.
Deer possess many glands that allow them to produce scents that are used to attract a mate or to mark territory. Some of these scents are detectable by humans and have been used for thousands of years as a fixative in perfumes; The word ‘musk’ originates from Sanskrit muṣká meaning ‘testicle’.

Unfortunately Shapeways will not print this due to their pricing structure. Please let me know if you have any questions?
We have created an alternative 580mm high flat version
A 150mm version can be ordered here
There is also a 75mm version here and a 300mm version here
This is a truly inspiring piece, designed to use the minimum material and the largest print size while keeping the cost low. This is huge at 570mm high, it's a show stopper a head turner. Shapeways have been pushed to their limits to produce and ship this. It is fragile and care must be taken but once it is hanging from a wall with a small pin or nail. The fine 1mm wire structure comes together to create a wonderful huge majestic stag head and a wonderful balance of weight in the form while almost being invisible.
I created a post of the development and unboxing here
The design is available as 2D print here Society 6

cup volume approximately 60ml.
Teeth and eyes of snake are not as detailed as in 3D model because of the glazing but they are sufficiently detailed (for my opinion).

A playful vase or flower pot.
Designed for Glazed Ceramics.
Made from a four generation binary tree,
with a two generation cavity.
This should allow full inside glazing.
It has not been printed yet, but I do not expect much trouble with this one.

Another entry to the contest. Decided to make my own version of the Mogu'shan Palace area in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. I didn't build it exactly the same, a few things are different. Kinda wanted to do the whole area, but I know theres a limit to how large these can be, so I just did a section of it.

Here is a Pandaren made by Rosedragon and myself of the VoxelBox. Originally a sketch drawn by Rosedragon's coworker ctrl_hellscream, Rosedragon colored the sketch and now decided to bring it into the blocky 3d world we all know as Minecraft. This Pandaren is made over the course of a few days, approximately 24 hours of work total.
