The third public evolution of the Animaris Geneticus Parvus. #7 has evolved legs, with pointy feet instead of flat. Featuring a fully working Theo Jansen mechanism as used in his work "the Rhinoceros".
Also see our new Propeller Propulsion add-on, to have your Strandbeest walk autonomously!

The mechanism is printed assembled, and will work without further assembly right after birth from the printer.

A few tips to consider:

- After birth there might be a little powder left in some joints, or it might not go supersmooth. This will fix itself after the animal has a little bit of practice!

- Some surfaces work better than others. The legs require a little friction, and a flat surface. So for example: A rough table or floor, thin flat carpeting, or a thin rubber sheet. It will slip on a too smooth surface.

- The best way to push it is by its nameplate. Do not push down, but forward.

- The beest is light, but quite strong. It can actually be dropped without breaking. It is not a "toy" however, and not suitable for children. The 3D printer material is easy to stain so clean hands are advised.

A replica of Cobb's totem from the film "Inception". As a below review has noted, and from my own version, the top works very well, and spins upwards of 90 seconds before toppling. You just might be in a dream.

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.

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.

Half Life 2 meets Portal. Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance's best friend, DOG, contemplating the beauty of his new toy, a companion cube. What else could you possibly want? Oh, that's right, Half-Life 2 Episode 3 would be nice...

Gabe, are you listening?

This uses the original texture maps from the game, you can even see the Lambda Half Life logo on DOG's back.

It wasn't easy! I had to remap all the textures manually, and fix all the geometry to make it printable and thick enough to support the weight. I also made most large pieces hollow, but you won't notice that at all (except in the reduced price this provided).

[Note: The seperate propeller does not fit the Ondula version! We are working on a propeller for the Ondula]

Theo Jansen’s 3D printed Strandbeest continues to evolve with an even more elaborate walking mechanism and a centipede-like walking motion. The latest evolution called 'Animaris Geneticus Ondularis' walks on twenty separate legs that move in a wave sequence. This new configuration results in a fluent walking motion, different from its twelve legged predecessors. It incorporates 122 moving parts, showcasing the complexity of mechanisms possible with 3D printed fabrication. It is also slightly larger than its predecessors. The operating principle of 'Animaris Geneticus Ondularis' is based on one of Theo Jansen's original beach walkers, the 'Animaris Ondula'.

Currently there is no propellor available for this version, it is being worked on though!

In the movie we used a piece of cardboard for walking on. Anything will do as long as it's a little rough for some friction!

No2 in the series of 3D printed animal heads.

The Animal Head Collection.

3D Printed Animal Heads

No 1 is a
Stag head. 

There is also a 75mm version here  and a 300mm version here 

No 3 is a Rhino. 

No 4 is a Tiger. 

Tiger Head 2. 

5 is an Elephant. 

I'm experimenting with telling a story using minimal material to save on printing cost while inspiring the imagination. The Zebra head works well, I've concentrated on only printing the black parts leaving the white empty. It is available in BSF  and WSF.  Both materials tell a different story.

Please send your pictures and share your thoughts on the design.

The Hidden Heart Espresso Cup


Perfect for Valentine's Day (or any other day needing a little heart), The Hidden Heart Espresso Cup reveals a perfect heart shape when a double shot of espresso is poured into it. Because of its complex contours, this hidden shape can't be made with traditional molds or normal ceramic fabrication processes. Food-safe in Glazed Ceramics, and 2 make a perfect couple!

More about why complex shapes are difficult in ceramic:

Ceramic is usually either spun or poured into 2 part molds, but there are several limitations to this. With a spun piece (think pottery wheel), you can only easily make symmetrical shapes, and then if you want alter them a little bit from the outside. With a mold, you can make more complicated shapes but to be able to remove it from the mold, you can't have any contours that overhang (the underside, like a cliff, will get caught on the mold and you won't be able to pull it out). This is usually what's called draft.

3D Printing is Cool

Anyway with 3D printing those aren't problems, since the form is being built up layer by layer. The issue of draft goes away entirely, and there's much more freedom to focus on design. I like to design for the hand as well as the eye. Kitchen, food, and drink-ware should almost slide into your hand, and give you a closer connection to what you are putting in your body.

Of course, you still have to consider wall thickness and minimum feature height and a couple other things, but that's not a bad trade-off for getting any form you can image!

* Please note that the saucer is sold separately.

PS - If anyone has a picture of their Hidden Heart Cup in action they'd like to share, please send it my way at danieljchamberlin@gmail.com and I'll add it to this page! Thanks!

The Minimized Gramophone "iAcoustic S" is an accessory for your iPhone, but it was not intended for an additional, separate device.
You need the charging cable for the iPhone every day, and the iAcoustic S was designed to transform the cable into a multi-functional device. The cable dressed up with the iAcoustic S can become an acoustic amplifier and a stand as well as a charger. When you put the cable into your bag, the iAcoustic S can also be a cable winder.

Its design was simplified for following the additional functions, and to provice the longer vibrating air column for the better and louder sound quality, its curved tube shape was created. The thickness of its bell and curved tube is 0.8mm.

It can also fit the iPhone with a typical case or a bumper. A mock-up plug is included, so you can use it instead of the charging cable when you don't need the cable.

- Link for iPhone 4/4S version -

* It works with the original charging cable.

This is the second and much improved version of my single-piece prybar and nail lifting tool with a range of metric hex drivers (5.5, 6, 7 and 8mm), a bottle opener, a 1/4" hex bit holder and two 1/4" hex driver points.
The centre cut-out will hold and store a standard PH2 or PZ2 25mm long quarter inch hex bit (not included).
Four o-rings are required to complete the assembly (10mm ID, 2.5mm diameter, not included)

This model is designed to be printed in Stainless Steel or one of it's variants.
I've been carrying this prybar around with my keys for a while now and it's functionality is just as i'd hoped with it not having let me down so far.
The prybar can be secured to a keychain or lanyard with a No.2 McGizmo clip or similar 25mm gate clip through the 5.5mm hex hole.

There are some more photos of this object and other examples of my work, both 3D printed and otherwise, on my 'Tofty' facebook page.

Dock-it for iPhone 5

Dock your iPhone 5 and give it a spot on your desk, table or nightstand!
Dock-it holds, syncs and charges your iPhone 5 to prepare it for your next journey.

Dock-it makes use of your new Apple Lightning Connector to USB cable. Simply snap it in and lock it with the Dock-it tray (separately available and included when you order the set: dock + tray)

ATTENTION: The Dock-it tray is needed for this product and available here:
Dock-it tray
When you order your Dock-it for the first time, then always order the set: dock + tray.

Dock-it is usable vertical and horizontal so you can do FaceTime and watch video’s with ease. The design has special airtunnels inside to amplify the phones speaker and makes sure you have good access to your phones microphone.

The Apple Lightning to USB cable is not included, it works with the one that came with your phone. You can also buy an extra one to use it specially with Dock-it.

A custom Fisher-Price clockwork record player record - plays "Still Alive" from Portal! The tune and model were all generated in Processing. Some people have asked for some more details on the way I made the model: I started with measuring out the discs that came with our player, they're injection moulded and all seem to have quite close tolerances which gave me a great interest in getting the right size for my model. Once I worked out that it might be possible I moved on to setting up the notes so I could work out a tune. I spent quite a long time with a tone generator and a toothpick (driving my wife half crazy in the process) until I had worked out the frequencies of the notes that the music box part of the player could make. I made the tone generator in Processing using the Beads library. I found that, although there are 22 separate notes on the music box there are only 16 unique notes, 6 are doubles. I've assumed that this is so that the notes can be played more quickly - due to the mechanism in the player 'tone arm' there's a risk of a missed note or jam if only one track is used and the pips (knobs? dots?) are too close together. Once I had this information I made Processing sketches (Beads again) to make up new tunes and also check that I had the right notes by playing back one of the existing discs (good job I checked since I had two notes wrong...) with note positions copied from a photo of the disc. Working out the new tune was complicated since there isn't a full chromatic scale available so some tunes simply can't be played even if you shift the key up and down, I wasn't able to get the rest of the 'Still Alive' tune, for example. The tune repeats twice around the disc and wraps so it keeps playing (for as long as the spring lasts) Once the tune was done I had to transform from linear note positions which I'd used to work out the tune (the sketch looks like a music stave but with each line being a note on the available scale) into polar coordinates around the disc and verify the dimensions. I created a blank disc by 'lathing' the vertex-by-vertex profile I measured using vernier calipers around an axis in Processing and exporting it for later use. The "notes" are added onto the blank disc by compositing some boxes that I generate in Processing from the notes with the pre-rendered disc which is stored as an STL file - here I used the Unlekker library for both export and import/combine/re-export. Once this is done it can be uploaded directly in Processing to Shapeways. ...and believe it or not that's the short form and entirely skips my (mis)adventures in Blender, Autodesk 123D, Solidworks... At some point I'd hope to be able to make at least some of the code available but it's in a really bad state at the moment so I'd like to tidy it up before I release anything...

The Lightcip is an ambient light accessory for your iPhone. Just slide it over your iPhone, and use any of the free flashlight apps.

The Lightclip was designed specifically for 3D printing in White Strong and Flexible. This material is very strong (obviously), affordable and an excellent light diffuser. The Lightclip emits a beautiful ambient light, which is evenly distributed and very easy on the eyes. Use it as a nightlight, at a camping trip or when in need of a superhero!

Please note that colors other than white block quite a bit of the light, but look amazing in a dark room and the Bat Signal is extremely bright!

Enjoy!

Complete 3D printed iPhone 5 Car kit, produced with one shot 3D printing!

This concept design is submitted for the Shapeways iPhone 5 accessory contest and will be further developed and for sale after the competition.

The car kit is produced by a single production of 3D printing and works as a car holder out of the box. After adding magnets to the car kit the design can slide and rotate. The car kit will hold your Apple lightning connector and therefore can charge during your adventure.

Add a 2 sided tape to the back of the basic holder and mount it on your dashboard. The holder is a separate peace and therefore can be replaced by another mount, more mount designs to follow.

Show it to Shapeways if you like this concept design!

This portafilter holder for the Bodum coffee grinder was created out of necessity.  I needed a way to grind my beans and not spend $300 for a costly grinder.  Total cost of this solution is around $120.  

Bodum Bistro Burr Coffee Grinder  = $90
Rapid Prototype Portafilter Holder = $30
Total cost = US $120

The portafilter holder was created using one of my favorite open source projects: FreeCad.  If you order this accessory for the grinder, remember that it will 3D printed for you and that it might take more than a couple of weeks to be printed.  Shapeways is good at printing quickly, but this will take a bit longer than a mass produced product.
