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. 118x87_36851_89894_1338413385.jpg + 118x87_387662_147353_1338413388.jpg

This is a mobius strip of Level 1 or Super Mario Bros. The whole level is wrapped around itself in a single surface, and poor Mario begins and ends at the same spot every time :(

All the elements from the level are there: every mushroom, turtle, cloud and star. They are all carved out of the surface at different heights, which looks fantastic when you have a light coming from the side, and each block casts a shadow.

It's a great piece to have on your desk, or to hang from a string to let it spin around.

[Note: This propeller propulsion add-on does not include a 3D printed Strandbeest, which should be bought seperately! This propeller does not fit the Ondula version!]

Theo Jansen’s 3D printed Strandbeest continues to evolve with the addition of a Propeller Propulsion system! The 3D printed Strandbeests can now walk autonomously, powered by the wind, just like Theo's full-scale Strandbeests. The new propeller add-on gives new and existing owners of these kinetic sculptures a new way to set them in motion!

The propeller addition is available as a separate kit, which can be mounted on the 3D printed Strandbeests. The propeller is compatible with the various evolutions of the Strandbeest, so existing owners of the “AGP” 5 and 7 model Strandbeests can use it as well. Consisting of 5 main parts, it can be mounted on the Strandbeest body in a few simple steps.
Also see our videos of the Strandbeest Propulsion in action, and the video with mounting instructions.

The 3D printed Strandbeest is sold separately.

A few tips to consider:

- Please look at our instruction video on mounting the Propeller Propulsion add-on, here.

- After mounting the Propeller Propulsion add-on it is best left mounted. Frequent dis-assembly can wear down the material which can result in play on the mechanism.

 This 2in wide cuff is truly a bold accessory! It features a flexible C-shaped design that fits closely against the wrist. It was grown from 4 separate root points which gradually intertwined into a single network.

watch the video to see how it was created!

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.

A pendant for metal printing.  I have trouble believing that these are photos and not renders...something about this object feels very unlikely.

Don’t let unruly wires get between you and your music. Pod à porter is the easiest way to wear your music, and it’s now available for the iPod shuffle 4th generation.

Manufactured from tough but flexible, 3D-printed polyamide, Pod à porter is ultralight and has a finely textured surface finish; each ordered product is manufactured just for you. It fits the iPod shuffle 4th generation and its earbuds, leaving all controls accessible. It also works with other Apple earphones, including ones with a built-in remote control - make sure the plug is the same shape and size as the 4th generation shuffle's.

Available in black, and limited edition colors shown below; check the support/materials section of this website for more information. Pod à porter is great for walking, strolling, commuting and many other activities, but it has not been specifically designed or tested for use during work-outs or sports, so it may not be suitable for your particular type of exercise.

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.

Tool, symbol or both?

The bits on this pendant are based on actual bit sizes - including an IKEA standard tool - so 'a bit cross' can be used for light jobs. Just remember the steel isn't tempered like 'real' tool bits and tolerances may vary.

I recommend using it with a red leather cord of about 78 cm/ 31 inch.

If you are new to the Shapeways website: to order you will be asked to create an account (it's easy).

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.
