(Note, prices reduced) This is a sound magnifier for your iPhone 4 or 4s (does not fit others), based on the old Gramophones of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. NOTE: BASE AND HORN ARE NOW SOLD SEPARATELY FOR TECHNICAL REASON. THIS FILE IS THE BASE ONLY. SEE THIS LINK FOR THE HORN: http://shpws.me/5i0B . (Adding this to cart will add both)

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.

'Woven Flower' 3D fractal model. This sculptural design has a loop at the top so that you can hang it up as a room decoration.

Works for many doors. Key reads "13" in roman numerals on the 666 side & "7" when flipped to 777 side (via roman numeral subtratcion). Needle not included (too thin to reliably print). Has a small hole in end to accept needle or pin to complete the piece. Hole will vary with material choice & may need to be opened with small drill.

The Flextest contest made me think of springs. And as I like recursive stuff, I decided to make a spring out of a spring that's made of a spring. Three levels of springy.
The purpose of this item is to answer these fundamental questions:
- How long will it be when stretched? (my calculations say you might need something like a volleyball court to test this)
- Will it return to its original shape afterwards? Or will it turn into the phone cord from hell?
The model was made with POV-Ray (as you can see in one of the close ups, it's made of about 77000 spheres strung together). The final model in MeshLab has 750000 faces.

This version of the Time Keeper has been thickened to survive production in Sandstone material, but it's still below the minimum wall thickness. I have been making these myself, and I've made more than 100 unique versions so far. You can buy them on Etsy here: Fleeting Time Keeper. The video below shows the production process.

Johannes Kepler thought he had hit upon a secret of the universe, a demonstration of the guiding hand of God (and geometry) in the structure of the heavens. In his _Mysterium Cosmographicum_ (see http://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Johannes_Kepler#Mysterium_Cosmographicum), he showed how the (circular) orbits of the planets could be shown to correspond to the five Platonic regular solids, nested inside and outside the spheres containing the orbits. It's an elegant theory, consonant with the idea of perfection in the heavens, and even explains why there were only six planets (because there are only five convex regular solids).
Of course, for all its beauty and elegance, the theory is *wrong*, and indeed there is no relationship between the Platonic solids and the orbits of the planets, and the planets don't even move in circles, and there are more than six of them. Still, here is a model of Kepler's original idea, rendered in thin wires. The spheres of the planets' orbits are suggested by half-spheres of eight spokes, and the solids are rendered in wireframe nesting within them. Because of the thickness of the wires, the solids and the spheres overlap a little—a feature which, I hope, keeps the model together. There are also some support wires, two running across the top of the spheres and one down through their pole.
An initial print has proved... not as bad as might be. The thin "wires" of WSF material are somewhat too flexible for the project, but only on the outermost shapes (the outermost sphere and especially the cube). The inner ones, even the tetrahedron, are fairly sturdy and rigid enough. I've thickened the wires of the cube and also added an "X" of supporting struts on each face of the cube and attached them to the next smaller sphere, and a "Y" of them on each face of the tetrahedron for good measure. I also put two more rings on the outermost sphere for more stability and added a base so that it has something to stand on. Might still be a little wobbly, but everything added makes it more expensive, so I'm hoping to do more with less. Have not yet printed the new version.
