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.
It is a part of Hyphae, 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.
Watch the video below to see the the form was created.

The C-shaped design fits close to the skin, is light-weight and uses minimal material. It was built up layer by layer from stainless steel powder using 3D printing and fused in a kiln. The two layer form of the cuff would be impossible to create by traditional manufacturing methods. Its outer surfaces have a smooth, polished finish which contrasts with the unpolished interior to create an intricate, 3-dimensional cuff.
It is a part of our Cell Cycle collection which was inspired by the intricate mineral forms of Radiolarians. The form is the result of a physics simulation of the forces in a cellular network of springs. Using our custom software, we created the Spiral Cuff by morphing, twisting, and subdividing; transforming a simple mesh to a complex patterned structure.

this design optimized for printing in stainless steel but is also great in the "Strong & Flexible" family of materials
Is inside out? Or is it not? Perhaps both?
This is an Amphora from another space-time.
An ancient object which we knew had to exist.
And after years of excavation in other dimensions we finally found it!
A very exotic vase with a unique near-impossible shape, suitable for use with dry flowers and striking enough to stand alone.
Theoretically it can also hold water in the toroidal bottom part, read practical details below.
Very suitable as a wedding gift to symbolize love and infinity.
The number eight (or sideways infinity) plays an important role in this piece,
both in the number of arms and the cross-section of this model.
Notes:
To improve print quality and after some deliberation with production, this model has been slightly updated on August 24th 2012; The arms have been thickened and the holes enlarged to improve strength and glazing.
Still I recommend not to put a lot of stress on the handles.
Refer to rendered images for the latest version. I will update photo's asap.
The bottom it stands on, is unglazed, which is invisible during normal display.
All clearly visible parts will be fully glazed, but there is a chance some parts on in the inside might not, which may compromise it's ability to hold water.
While production does their absolute best and all recent prints turned out perfectly glazed and hold water, due to the complexities involved, there is no 100% guarantee for to be absolutely watertight.
We created the form by simulating a process where two chemicals diffuse across a surface and react with one another to form stable patterns. This process, reaction-diffusion, can be used to explain the intricate patterns found on the skin of many types of animals, from the spots of leopards to the radiating stripes of angelfish. Growing a pattern with different parameters can produce dramatically different results.
Here, we orchestrated a pattern that twists elegantly towards the base of the lamp where it terminates in a gentle spiral. Lines diverge and converge along the contours of the sphere, blanketing the surface in many deep grooves. We think the pattern recalls the forms of sand dunes and hard corals.
Only the shade portion of the lamp is shipped by shapeways. The light fixture can be purchased separately from us, email us at hello@n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com
Light Fixture The lamp comes with an eco-friendly 3-watt LED light fixture with three bright Cree LED's that will last for 6 years of continuous use. It is UL-listed and plugs into the wall.

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!

It's good to see it online.
Actually it is a posed "character" from a short animation I made :

3D fractal sculpture / L.E.D candleshade: 'Pointy Shells'. The L.E.D Candle (light source) itself is not included. Shapeways 3D prints this small lightshade designed for an L.E.D candle. Please don't use with real candles. If you would like an L.E.D candle shipped separately from unellenu please contact unellenu (at) unellenu.com (& advise your Shapeways order number for the unellenu candleshade).
A larger version of this model is also available.

Great creatures... mysterious, wise and silently. OK, they make this creepy sound... huhu huhu. But cool birds anyway! Remember, Harry Potter had one and this guy knows whats good!
This buckle is "ready to use", all you need is a belt.
Diameter of the buckle: 55 mm
The Resonator collection by unellenu includes the following designs
Reverb Tag Pendant, inspired by reverb patterns and geometry, with echoing and overlapping lines.
Secure Access Tag Pendant, with Guilloché patterns. Patterns similar to this are often used for security on currency and documents. I like the idea that a tag like this could be a used as a key or a code for secure access, particularly in a sci-fi setting.
Angeldevil Tag Pendant, with an abstract winged entity on one side and a downward pointing motif on the other.
Spaceship Door Tag Pendant, with a complex symmetrical pattern radiating out from the centre.

BASHIBA Waves
The ocean, and in consequence the waves, can be related to the movement, the temporary, the ephemeral, the fleeting, the flexible and even the random. One of the principal ideas of this ring is to remind us that life can be transitory; but, our actions and attitudes towards it, not necessarily are.
"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this."
-- Henry David Thoreau
