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

Do you want to order more than 1 in a single color? Check out this set of 2, or this set of 4  to save some money

This eggcup is printed on demand in laser sintered polyamide. The eggcup can hold a medium egg and due to the flexible nature of the printing material, it will adapt its shape to larger eggs as well.

This chess set re-imagines the bodies of the traditional chess pieces to incorporate each piece's name as the focal point of their design. It should be noted that each color/material must be ordered separately. This does, however allow for mixing and matching.

These filigree earrings look delicate almost like lace, yet are flexible and very resilient and should last you a life time assuming a monkey doesn't eat them. They are so light that you wouldn't even know you are wearing them.

Here they are shown in the "White Strong & Flexible" material, but are also available in other colors as well as silver. They are each about 1.5 inches long and .75 inch wide.

An ornament in the shape of a tree, with some of the roots creating a garland around it. This ornament can stand on a surface or be hung in a window, in a tree or on a door. The branches produce a beautiful pattern regardless of which angle you view it in. All the lines is flowing and come together in harmony. Please note that the "White Strong & Flexible" material will turn yellowish if you leave it in the sun. If you're going to hang it in a window, make sure it faces the side of the building with most shadow.

Heart Dipping Dish
This is a dish for dipping bread in olive oil. Fill the dish with enough olive oil to cover the heart, and then add balsamic vinegar to the heart. The vinegar will sink to the bottom and fill out the heart! You might need to push the vinegar around with a toothpick to fill out the heart really cleanly, but it is easy to do, and continues to look nice even after you start dipping bread.
