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. +

The best triply periodic minimal surface ever!

I put a bigger one here.

Important notice: a lot of people have been very happy with this product, but, as can be read in some of the comments below, it's clear that this design is right on the edge of what Shapeways can produce to the right quality at this moment. If you buy it, there's a risk of having a less then perfect fit, colors can be different from what you see on the screen, and, depending on how you use your phone as well as the tolerances of the case, it has been reported that the polyamide material can give a sort of polishing/scratching effect on the metal rim of the phone (you can find descriptions online of how to remove these kind of blemishes, but it may still be annoying).
Shapeways has, in my experience, been very good with customer service on this item, so they'll be happy to either return your money or provide a new product if you would be one of the unlucky ones; but it's up to you if you want to run the risk that you may have to go through this process.

Essential protection for iPhone 4S and iPhone 4

Even though 4-4 may be the worlds lightest and smallest iPhone 4 case, it still provides great protection to the vulnerable edges of the iPhones' front and back covers - while all controls and connections remain accessible. Its slightly protruding profile helps prevent protect the glass when laying your phone down; using 4-4 can also help to avoid signal loss problems.

This bumper-style case may be combined with commercially available screen protectors. 4-4 is manufactured from tough and durable 3d printed polyamide; it has a slightly textured surface that gives you great grip on your phone. Available in white, black and limited edition colors - note that in white, the 3d printed material may get dirty more quickly - but you can (seriously!) dishwash this product, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. The 4-4 case is designed to have a tight fit around for iPhone. To put the iPhone in the case, or take it out, start at one of the bottom corners, where there are no buttons. Colors in the images above are for reference only; please check under 'select material' to get the most up-to-date preview of currently available product colors. Product is shipped in basic Shapeways packaging.

4-4 fits the GSM and CDMA/Verizon versions of iPhone 4, as well as the new iPhone 4S.

A two pack of 4-4's in the same color is available at reduced prices here.

You can have a look at all the products in my shop here. Consider buying 4-4 together with The Wrap, a handy cable winder for the European iPhone charger.

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 .

Another projection of the 4-dimensional hypercube, this one close to vertex-centered. I love the shape of its hull: almost a rhombic dodecahedron, but skewed just enough to keep the central vertices from meeting.
The more usual projection is here, other polytopes are here.

Over The Top is a world-record 17x17x17 Rubik's Cube. It makes quite pretty patterns. It can take many, many hours to solve. The puzzle was first presented live to the world at  at the New York Puzzle Party Symposium, Saturday Feb. 12th. The YouTube video was be published after that event, and the record was accepted by Guinness World Records.

[Note: The seperate propeller does not fit the Ondula version! We are working on a propeller for the Ondula]

Theo Jansen’s 3D printed Strandbeest continues to evolve with an even more elaborate walking mechanism and a centipede-like walking motion. The latest evolution called 'Animaris Geneticus Ondularis' walks on twenty separate legs that move in a wave sequence. This new configuration results in a fluent walking motion, different from its twelve legged predecessors. It incorporates 122 moving parts, showcasing the complexity of mechanisms possible with 3D printed fabrication. It is also slightly larger than its predecessors. The operating principle of 'Animaris Geneticus Ondularis' is based on one of Theo Jansen's original beach walkers, the 'Animaris Ondula'.

Currently there is no propellor available for this version, it is being worked on though!

In the movie we used a piece of cardboard for walking on. Anything will do as long as it's a little rough for some friction!

A borromeanring-minimal surface in honeycomb style. Now i have one in a half size too.

CAUTION: FOUR SPECIAL EDGES ONLY. Anisotropic Cube is a modification of Oskar's Gear Cube that is being sold by Mefferts.com. Buy a Gear Cube and replace four of the gearing edges by these four pieces. The result is a puzzle that has all the gearing fun of Gear Cube, but much harder to solve.

These are just the four special pieces. If you want to buy the full puzzle, assembled and sticked, then search the internet for Mefferts and "Gear Cube Extreme".

A classic fractal.

This model does not print perfectly. Shapeways will do their best, which is darn good, but the smallest holes must be cleared by hand, and it takes time.

Enjoy, but please read the comments below before ordering.

Inspired by Maori and Pacific Island bone carvings this is the second in a series of Torus based necklaces that feature a tesselating pattern that wraps the geometric form in three dimensions. At first glance the shapes may appear to be simply cut into the skin of the object but when held in your hand and rotated the repeating pattern begins to reveal itself. 

The image shows the pendant printed in Stainless Steel but it is available in a variety of material choices including plastic, sterling silver and gold.
The pendant does not ship with a necklace but when combined with a simple leather cord as shown in the images it makes a very unique conversation starting peice of jewelry.

our third (and so far favorite) experiment into digi-fabric design.

Check out gibell's Reuleaux solids at http://www.shapeways.com/model/115463/reuleaux_solids_3cm.html Those are surfaces of rotation based on Reuleaux polygons, which are curves of constant width. These are also surfaces of constant width, but *not* surfaces of rotation. So despite looking decidedly non-spherical, they roll smoothly as spheres.

There are two different Meissner solids, subtly different.  Look closely at the edges.  Some are rounded and some are sharp.  One of them has the round edges making a a triangle and the sharp edges meeting at a point; the other has them the other way around.

These are sized for compatibility with gibell's solids, so if you get all five they will all roll smoothly under the same flat surface together.  And like gibell's, they are hollow with internal braces to lend extra support, with holes in the bottom to let the support material out.

Printed great.  Video below! (the two foreground shapes are mine; the red one in the background is one of gibell's from the set linked above)

Five intersecting tetrahedra with an icosahedron inside them.  There is just enough space between all the pieces that it will print as 6 separate objects.  The edge length of the tetrahedron is 7.5cm, it stands 8.6 cm high, about the size of a tennis ball.

Celtic knot rolled round to create a ring, making quite a balanced design. Made from a knot with 20 loops and seed 1 using the Knot application.

The diameter of the ring is 16mm on the inside (size 5½/K½). Send me a message if you'd like me to create a different sized version.

This is a cubic interpretation of the classic trefoil knot.

These are not links; it is a single, looping (in a cubic sort of way) structure.

There is also a 50mm version available.
And a pendant version, here: Cubic Trefoil Knot Pendant.
