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.

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 .

Skyrim pendant
I made a pendant inspired from the The Imperial Symbol of the game Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I hope people who love this game also love this pendant. On the top of the wings are two holes, so you can wear it like a pendant. The pendant is double sided, both sides look the same. The picture shows the wrong way ;-0
I already have pictures of the pendant in stainless steel pictures in stainless steel
Also check out my Skyrim 'Dragonborn' ring Skyrim 'Dragonborn' ring.
The pendant 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.

Due to printing variations it might be a bit tight fit for some cubes.
I recommend any of the Strong & Flexible

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 !

This is a model of the woodcut picture made by M.C. Escher in 1965 called 'Knots".
It has since then been a challenge for 3d modelers and mathematicians.
As far as I know it has not been modeled in 3d up till now. (It has! see comments).
The model's height is about 8 cm.

The "tertiant" is a simple astrolabe similar to the quadrant or sextant. It is useful for measuring unreachable altitudes, discovering local latitude, and finding the average of inclines.
This is the only Tertiant known to exist. The quadrant and sextant measure angles less the 90 degress. This astrolabe measures a full 120 degrees allowing the intrepid airship explorer to aim not only above, but also below.
Instructions: Look through the eyepiece, and line up your target with the sites (ie. north star for latitude, the top of a building or tree for altitude). When you do this, the dial will adjust itself by gravity to point out a degree on the guage. Zero is indicated by the vertical bar. Each second degree is marked by a small bar at the bottom of the guage, and these are grouped in ten degrees.
note: Before I release this for sale, I will be adding numbers on the guage, a ring at the top for hanging, and a ring on the end of the dial to hang a weight for more accurate readings.

This cube really is something quite special.
About a year ago, after seeing the Transformers movie, I was inspired, by the behaviour of the alien technology in the AllSpark cube, to try and design a puzzle that could expand equally in all directions. To make things even harder, I wanted each piece to be locked in place by the preceding move.
After many prototypes I finally succeeded in creating this unique sculpture consisting of six parts.
The first stage in solving the puzzle involves discovering how the pieces fit together in the expanded configuration. (One of these moves includes a rotation, which makes it much harder to crack by computer!)
The second stage is to collapse the expanded cube down to the smaller cube by pressing each of the faces in the correct sequence.
The name of the puzzle comes from a (now obsolete) alternative to the Big Bang Theory proposed by Fred Hoyle. I like the fact that from its expanded, steady state the cube can either collapse inwards or explode outwards.

Inspired by the logo on the cover of Elbow's album, The Seldom Seen Kid, this interlocking 3-piece puzzle is not as easy as it looks. Unlike all my other cubes, which were created in Burr Tools, this puzzle was modelled by hand to give every one of the cubes a bevelled edge. This not only makes it look more like the Elbow logo, it also makes the puzzle even trickier to take apart.

This steampunk-inspired pendant features three gears that spin round and round the center handle and gear. The gears, front, and clock hand all spin at different rates, producing a fascinating spin that will keep even the most fidgety hands occupied.
For the full effect, take a look at the video on youtube!
Thanks to José I. Romero for an insane amount of work on this design.

The Inside Out Cube is the first miniature cube puzzle from microcubology.
This is a real working interlocking cube puzzle that requires both skill and dexterity to solve. This version of the Inside Out Cube is 1.5 cm in size. Why is called the Inside Out Cube? Because the whole puzzle can be rebuilt inside out leaving a 3x3x3 hollow on the inside and all the interlocking legs on the outside.
In its life this puzzle has had three different names. As well as the 'Inside Out cube', which probably describes it best, it has been known as Triple Mirror, because three of the pieces are mirror images of the other three. And before that I used to call it the Tiresias cube. I'll leave you to figure that one out for yourselves!

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.

This is the first interlocking cube I ever designed. It consists of four pieces which fit together with a series of sliding movements. It is not too difficult for the average puzzler but will provide a satisfying challenge at this small scale. The completed cube is 1.6cm on each side.

This is an altered version of the gearbox model available from the ShapwaysMechanical page.
The parts have been perforated in some spots to be slightly more streamlined and also a little cheaper to produce too.
No assembly required, though the middle set of gears must be snapped down into position in order to engage the surrounding gears. I assume this was built into the design to keep larger gaps during the printing process.

Companion Cube storage box
Dimensions:
> Storage compartment (inner space): 40x40x40mm
> Outer maximum boundaries: 57x57x57mm
Other sizes and prices available on my store!
From the creator of the well-known GLaDOS ring comes a brand new accessory that is sure to be turning heads of those who see it - the Companion Cube storage box!
If you are a Portal geek like me - you know that the Companion Cube is basically a loveable version of Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube. So if it's a storage cube - why not store something in it!
This little buddy is perfect for stashing your favorite pice(s) of jewelry or other small nick-knacks in style. Maybe it could even become a box for an engagement ring...?
The cube's corners reach up to nearly 1cm in thickness and the walls are as thick as ~4mm, so you are guaranteed that the cube will withstand rough conditions!
\ The actual product may not look like in the presented pictures - it comes in a single color, depending on the material you've chosen from the material list to the right! If you select durable plastic material, it is perfect for painting if you so desire :)
Please also check out other products on my store and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

A Konoid is an artistic representation of a mathematical object called Sphericon.
It’s hard to believe that being placed on a slanted flat surface it rolls freely in a straight line.
Well it wobbles a little, but it will not stop.
It's available in three different sizes and many materials
From Wolfram MathWorld:
A sphericon is the solid formed from a bicone with opening angle of 90 degrees (and therefore with a=r=h) obtained by slicing the solid with a plane containing the rotational axes resulting in a square cross section, then rotating the two pieces by 90 degrees and reconnecting them.
A sphericon has a single continuous face and rolls by wobbling along that face, resulting in straight-line motion. In addition, one sphericon can roll around another.

Weighing 85 tons the PRC-7R was developed by ComStar in early 3061 in a continuing effort to replace losses suffered on Tukayyid against the Clans and the additional losses of 3058 after the Word of Blake seized control of Terra.
Originally intended to mount a pair of Ultra AC5s when the NAIS unveiled the Rotary Autocannon, Precentor Martial Steiner-Davion arranged a significant number of the weapon system to be turned over to ComStar and the design was refitted with this new weapon. After a minor redesign to accommodate this new weapon the first PRC-7R walked off the production line in 3064.
In addition to the twin RAC5s the Precentor mounts a pair of ER Medium Lasers in each arm and a MRM 10 in the chest.
The Precentor is a brutal mid range combatant and can reach speeds of 64.8 kph while still mounting an impressive 14 tons of armour in addition to jump jets giving it speed, manoeuvrability and survivability, a combination almost unheard of in an assault ‘Mech.
The model contains 20 parts and stands approximatly 50mm tall when built. Includes parts to create both the production PRC-7R version and the PRC-7X prototype variant.
Original design by Dorian Sherratt & Helen Troy.
