Edit: The world famous Transformers customizer Encline has put up a review of this pair of Optimus Prime's hands! In the video he shows the assembly process, installation, and he finally showcases how well the hands worked, holding weapons and giving various poses! Again, I am very honoured to have my designs reviewed in such an awesome manner. Link is located below!
A pair of hands for ROTF Leader class Optimus Prime! These hands are fully articulated with ball joints on the fingers, thumbs and wrists! Also, they are capable of holding 5mm peg mechtech weapons as well as his original rifle!
Recommended material: Strong Flexible
The Black Strong & Flexible set (red background) was hand-painted using Spanish Copper and Gold rub'n'buff (sold separately).
Alumide set was dyed black and painted with silver enamel (sold separately).
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.

I'm experimenting with telling a story using minimal material to save on printing cost while inspiring the imagination.
Please send your pictures and share your thoughts on the design.
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.

About Hyphae
Hyphae is a collection of 3D printed artifacts constructed of rhizome-like networks. Inspired by the vein structures that carry fluids through organisms from the leaves of plants to our own circulatory systems, we created a simulation which uses physical growth principles to build sculptural, organic structures. Starting from an initial seed and a surface, we grow a hierarchical network where nodes constantly branch and merge. The densely interconnected structure is at once airy and strong.
Lighting Specifications
The lamp comes with an eco-friendly 3-watt 200 lumen LED light fixture with three bright Cree LED's that will last for 6 years of continuous use. It is UL-listed and works off a 120V or 240V outlet.
Please contact us at http://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/contact.php to receive the lighting components for the lamp. We will send them to you free of charge if you purchase the lamp shade.
I would like to introduce to you the sculpture »You & Me« from the »Scrappies« figurine family. It represents love, affection and mutual commitment - emotions that everyone values and never lose their significance.
The »Scrappies« are inspired by everything you can find in a scrapyard: old nuts and bolts, tin cans, pipes, coils, parts of ball bearings.
But they are actually manufactured in a totally different, novel »3D printing« process. Each of them is made in one piece from fine metal powders.
I had initially made the »You & Me« sculpture as a unique gift for our 30th wedding anniversary, but when Christiane placed the Scrappies on her office desk, her collegues loved them so much that we thought why not share it and make it available to others.
Therefore, and for a limited time, I am offering you my work here, outside of the traditional channels of exhibiting and selling art. Each figurine will be customized with your initials of choice. I will make and ship a unique »You & Me« sculpture for every supporter, be it one or many.

sterling silver version: http://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/shop/product.php?code=96
If you purchase directly from Shapeways it will not come with a chain.
Here it's shown in a Schlegel diagram so you can see all 120 dodecahedral cells, though most are transformed by perspective: in this projection, the only regular dodecahedra are the biggest one on the outside and the tiniest one at the center.
A smaller model is here.
Order includes one d6.
Modeled in blender 2.59.
Inside the leaves you can see a small sphere of blue. If you look reaaally carefully, you could notice that the continents in the blue ball are in the shape of Pangea and not our current distribution.

The ring is inspired on the game Elder Scrolls V Skyrim. The rights and intellectual property of the game belongs to Bethesda Softworks, which did a great job on creating the Elder Scrolls series.

Phylum: Mollusca
Class: Cephalopoda
Order: Octopoda
Suborder: Incirrina
Family: Octopodidae
Subfamily: Octopodinae
Species: Octopus vulgaris, the Common Octopus.
Members of the class cephalopoda are carnivorous hunters. They have the most advanced nervous system of all invertebrate animals and are an important example of advanced cognitive evolution in animals.
O. vulgaris is the most studied of all octopus species and possesses excellent eyesight, capable of distinguishing shapes, textures, and colour. It is the only animal which has been conclusively shown to use tools, and is proficient at learning simple processes such as unscrewing a jar.
Cephalopods are able to release dark pigment into the water as an escape mechanism, which in the past has been extracted and used by humans as an ink or dye. The word sepia comes from the Latin word for cuttlefish, s?pía.
The Ring:
This ring is made using 3D Printing.technology.
It is available in either stainless steel or silver.
It is available in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL. - ring size chart
A smaller version of Triple Gear is available here. A baseplate and axle for using a motor to move the triple gear is available here. Also see 15 cm axle for Triple gear and 30 cm axle for Triple gear.
In this unusual mechanism three gears mesh together in pairs, and yet they can turn!
If you take three ordinary gears and put them together so that each gear meshes with the other two, then none of the gears can turn because neighbouring gears must turn in opposite directions. Triple gear avoids this problem by having the three "gears" arranged like linked rings - the gears then rotate along skew axes, and the opposite direction rule no longer applies (although see also Oskar van Deventer's Magic Gears for another possible solution).
This is joint work with Saul Schleimer. We were inspired by another of Oskar's designs, his Knotted Gear, which consists of two linked rings that gear with each other, and of course we wondered if it would be possible to do three linked rings!
Here is a paper on the mathematics behind the Triple gear, and how we designed it.
A note on materials: I have so far printed it in White Strong & Flexible only. It may arrive with the rings slightly fused together, but gently moving them back and forth will loosen them up, and the mechanism gets smoother with use. I'm not sure what effect the polishing process would have on the gearing mechanism, since it would polish the exposed gear teeth but not those which are meshed as it comes out of the printer. So I have disabled the polished material options. If you really want to try it, let me know. I also haven't tested any of the "frosted detail" materials, but I imagine that they should work fine. It isn't printable in the other "detail" materials because of cleaning problems.
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.

The Skull Ring by Bits to Atoms is 3D printed in stainless steel with a tessellated and slightly pitted texture. A masculine piece that works just as well with denim jeans and a t-shirt as it does with a 3 piece suit (or formal dress).Please contact for bespoke sizing.
Gear system based on hypotrochoid shapes.
It is printed as a 9 piece puzzle, a VERY frustrating one at that ;-)
Depending on the print batch, it might need some minor sanding to make it run properly.
Steel available on request, still untested by me.
I think steel will work but probably needs some more sanding to make it fit.
With the new pricing scheme, the steel version is no longer available.
If you want one in steel, please send me a message and we will find a way.

Tom's Mini 12mm 3x3x3 Cube - other build method
http://www.shapeways.com/model/247522/mini-12mm-3x3x3-cube.html
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.
Spaaaaaaaaaaace!
You can imagine this 3D form as afterimage of one single point in space as it moves, self-intersecting and rotating around, creating this 3D object. Whole shade form is actually one single line... wrapping around itself. Whole 3d printed light shade is created in one piece.
This lamp is available for purchase now on Shapeways. What you will get from Shapeways is 3D printed lamp shade only.
NOTE: Lamp base will be sent separately. Use "contact designer" button on upper right of this page... or send us e-mail to > info (at) alienology.com
Inner diameter 19mm.
NOTE: This is prototyped only in plastic. Tolerances may not work in metal.

Please note that the model has been updated with a lot less material needed for printing (cheaper), and now incorporates a slot and space for an original iPhone USB cable, so you don't have to dismount the phone to charge/sync.
This iPhone case is designed to only fit the iPhone 4, and fit is by press fit; you may need to sand the inner surface to hold the iPhone properly.
IMPORTANT:
You need to order the USB cradle separately.

We created the form by simulating a process where two chemicals diffuse across a surface and react with one another to form stable patterns. This process, reaction-diffusion, can be used to explain the intricate patterns found on the skin of many types of animals, from the spots of leopards to the radiating stripes of angelfish. Growing a pattern with different parameters can produce dramatically different results.
Here, we orchestrated a pattern that twists elegantly towards the base of the lamp where it terminates in a gentle spiral. Lines diverge and converge along the contours of the sphere, blanketing the surface in many deep grooves. We think the pattern recalls the forms of sand dunes and hard corals.
Only the shade portion of the lamp is shipped by shapeways. The light fixture can be purchased separately from us, email us at hello@n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com
Light Fixture The lamp comes with an eco-friendly 3-watt LED light fixture with three bright Cree LED's that will last for 6 years of continuous use. It is UL-listed and plugs into the wall.
