The original Eardrops
A pair of elegant spiral droplet earrings.
Absolutely stunning in the new Premium Silver!


I recommend to use these with silver earring hooks and attach them with (7mm) split rings (not included)
These are availble at your local bijoux or jewellery store or via websites.
If you have trouble finding them, contact me with a copy of your invoice and I will make sure you get a pair!

Using 30 standard-sized pencils, and this kit, you can create an icosahedron-shaped object of about 38 cm or 15 inch in diameter. Use it as a cool lampshade, or just as fun and educational object to have around.
Fits standard hexagonal (colour) pencils of about 7.0 mm cross section - measured at the smallest diameter. Any length of the pencils will work, as long as they're all the same.
If you are new to the Shapeways website: to order you will be asked to create an account (it's easy).

Please note that the available colours are subject to what Shapeways offers, and may be different from those shown in the images here. Please refer to the support section for available colors. Assembly may leave slight indents on pencils.

Weighted Companion Dice.  Features 6 sides with a heart for the number 1. Sized the same as a standard dice.  Picture shows White Detail (Left) and White Strong and Flexible (Right) materials.  Order includes only one in your choice of material.  

Spaaaaaaaaaaace!

A hanging cup for your double espresso the morning after ;-)
It's in such a state that it cannot stand on it's own, so it really needs some support.
Luckily it has :-)
When you order, you will get the Hangover cup and the matching stand in glazed ceramics.

Printed Ceramics
With the current process, the round bottom on the cup will likely show some minor pits in the glazing from a small tripod it stands on during the baking.
And the bottom of the stand/saucer has rougher structure.
The rest of the glazing is fully covering, so it's safe to drink from.

Also available as a more sober version (standalone)

The cup is designed for a double espresso(60 ml), but can hold a maximum of about 90 ml.

This is a 3 pack of female stealth gang members. They all have shaved heads, goggles and trench coats. They carry . Their height is actually 30mm which, oddly enough, has become pretty standard for 28mm scale. Their belts are equipped with grenades and pouches to face battle in a post apocalyptic future. They are attached at the feet by a single sprue which must be carefully trimmed away by a sharp razorblade. These figures are intended to be glued to a 28mm gaming base (not included) in order for them to stand properly. To include the base would have dramatically increased the printing cost. Suggestions and critiques are welcome and appreciated.

This is one of Escher's tesselating fishes in 3D. Several of these fishes can be grouped together, so that they form a never ending pattern.

A detailed full color model of each of the first six planets (out to Saturn) and major moons of the Solar system, to (logrithmic) scale.
(Note: the full Solar System set of planets and moons is available as a set here)

All surfaces are reproduced from NASA imaging.
For size reference, Jupiter is 22mm (0.9 inch) diameter, and Earth is 11mm (0.45 inch) diameter.

This set is designed for use in orrery or other models of the solar system, and so to best present all planets while preserving scale, the scale has been compressed - a logrithmic scale instead of a linear scale. This means that if the model of a moon of Jupiter is larger than the model of Mercury but smaller than Mars, then you know that the real moon really is larger than Mercury and smaller than Mars, But the size diference is compressed - Jupiter, which is really more than ten times Earth's diameter, becomes only twice Earth's diameter, etc. This logrithmic scale allows all planets to be clearly visible together, while at the same time still indicating their sizes relative to each other.

The set contains six planets, and nine moons:
[In order of appearance in the photo above, right to left]
Mercury
Venus
Earth
 - Moon / Luna
Mars
Jupiter
 - Ganymede
 - Callisto
 - Io
 - Europa (attempt no landing there)
Saturn
 - rings of Saturn
 - Titan
 - Rhea
 - Iapetus
 - Dione

All objects have a 1.3mm (0.05 inch) hole at the south pole, about 3mm deep, for a brass axle (or a toothpick).

What color is a planet - is it color of its surface materials, or the colour of its atmosphere from space, or the color of the surface being colored by the atmosphere filtering light from the sun? The appearance in this set attempts to be that of the surface with moderate atmospheric influence, (with the gas giants depicted as the atmosphere and surface being the same thing). For example, this means that Venus depicts the features of its surface, but they are tinted somewhat by its atmosphere. Similarly, Earth and Titan show ground features, but some areas are tinted and obscured by atmosphere.

In areas where the model surface is more detailed than the most detailed NASA photography, the overall surface appearance conforms to what is known, but finer textural details are speculative. (Or, if there is an atmosphere, it is shown as particularly thick and opaque over the unmapped area.)

Due to hard limitations of the Shapeways 3D printer, the moon Dione is using the surface map of Rhea. I chose Dione because the surface is very similar to Rhea, and it is the most minor moon in the set. The alternative was simply to remove an object, but I preferred the set to include four of Saturn moons, like it does for Jupiter.
