The third public evolution of the Animaris Geneticus Parvus. #7 has evolved legs, with pointy feet instead of flat. Featuring a fully working Theo Jansen mechanism as used in his work "the Rhinoceros".
Also see our new Propeller Propulsion add-on, to have your Strandbeest walk autonomously!
The mechanism is printed assembled, and will work without further assembly right after birth from the printer.
A few tips to consider:
- After birth there might be a little powder left in some joints, or it might not go supersmooth. This will fix itself after the animal has a little bit of practice!
- Some surfaces work better than others. The legs require a little friction, and a flat surface. So for example: A rough table or floor, thin flat carpeting, or a thin rubber sheet. It will slip on a too smooth surface.
- The best way to push it is by its nameplate. Do not push down, but forward.
- The beest is light, but quite strong. It can actually be dropped without breaking. It is not a "toy" however, and not suitable for children. The 3D printer material is easy to stain so clean hands are advised.

A perfect scarab with all the little details. What an Egyptian metalsmith would have crafted, had the pharoahs dreamed of direct-metal printing.
Featured on BoingBoing, NotCot, and entymologically discerning sterna worldwide.
To wear as a pendant, a simple 2mm-thick cord works well.

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.

Inspired by the great artwork of M. C. Escher... with a twist !
This Moebius strip and its ants has been carefully designed to be 'playable'.
It is possible to explore the moebius strip in a tactile way, by sliding around the ants, to get different configuration (both ants on the outside, both inside, one inside and one outside).
I think this demonstrates well the possibilities of 3D printing, and hope these 'Moebius Ants' will make it to Siggraph :-)

This is a four hole English pendant style ocarina.
It's tuned in G6 major.
The range is a full octave from G6 to G7.
A Fingering table is included in the images above.
The highest notes are pretty loud.
The lowest are modest; blow in very gently for them!
Keep it dry and don't enclose it airtight!
Only the White Strong & Flexible material was tested yet.
This material works really fine.
Its paintable too.

This innovative widget is designed to dispense M&M candies, vitamin pills, medicine, or any tablet-shaped objects, one-at-a-time, using only one hand!
You put the hopper over the base and fill it with your candies or pills. Then, just raise and lower the hopper, and a single piece will magically appear on top.
This is designed for the ceramic materials, and the candy only touches the glazed areas, so it is food safe and easy to clean. The hopper comes off with a twist, so it won't spill its contents during use, but it's easy to disassemble.
Note: The photographs are of the previous revision (mk. 3) - I've enlarged the top hole by 1mm, given the base a bit more weight, and slightly improved the piston. Once I get my test print of this revision, I'll upload new photos and a video.
