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 you wish to look incredible - wear the "impossibility in its purest form".
The Penrose triangle, also known as the Penrose tribar, is an impossible object. It was first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934. The mathematician Roger Penrose independently devised and popularised it in the 1950s, describing it as "impossibility in its purest form".
It is featured prominently in the works of artist M. C. Escher, whose earlier depictions of impossible objects partly inspired it.

A pretty optical illusion with a pretty stand.

The sydewinda™ is a unique kinetic executive desk toy, a 3D printed kinetic desk sculpture combining geometrical and physical principals to produce an unexpected and counterintuitive rolling motion in a kinetic 3D print. The sydewinder™ 3D desk toy is available in only the finest 3D printed materials for the discerning customer.
The sydewinda™ office desk desk toy is approximately 4in/100mm in diameter and designed for the office desk or tabletop to be used as a desk top toy.
Place Sydewinda™ kinetic desk toy on a flat surface and give a gentle tap and watch it roll along what initially appears to be an unpredictable serpentine path. If the desk or tabletop surface is uneven you will see Sydewinder™ desk toy roll independently and may observe the Sydewinder™ desk top toys moving back and forth across the surface.
