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.

Note:
The silver material is very bright and shiny. Some designs look much better when deeper parts are blackened. You can do this easily by yourself by putting the silver jewelry in a small glass with bleach for a few minutes. After it turns dark, you can polish it partial with a sponge or a towel.

Have you ever experienced such a great love for someone that it felt as if your heart was going to burst through your chest? It can even feel as if your entire rib-cage is now filled with your heart.
Inspired by my own experience of falling in love, this is a true artistic expression of a deep and pure love.
Makes a meaningful gift for yourself or that very special loved one.
(Pictured with a necklace. Price is for pendant only)

This 7" pendant lamp is covered by ridges and valleys that transmit different amounts of light when illuminated; they furnish a striking pattern whether the lamp is on or off.
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've always been attracted to honeycomb patterns. Hexagons in series are appealing to the eye. Here's a ring designed with this lovely polygon in mind. Inspired by honey, made for your honey, and now supporting the honey bee.

A little bit of honeycomb infused into your finger... my neighbor keeps bees on our roof and I was inspired by their hives. This ring looks fantastic in gold but I haven't managed to get pics of it yet. Shown in steel, size 7.
I'll make any size you need. There will always be an open spot in the back so you can tighten it a bit if you need to. I don't recommend trying to stretch any shapeways steel rings because they can break.

*****CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS OFFER. THIS IS AN EMPTY PRODUCT PAGE! IF YOU ORDER THROUGH THIS PAGE YOUR SIGNET WILL HAVE NO DESIGN. YOU MUST CONTACT ME DIRECTLY AND I WILL PRODUCE YOUR MODEL AND PLACE IT IN MY SHOP TO BE ORDERABLE*****
Signets have been around for ages, and they almost left us when we ditched them for email. But now they're back! And they're better than ever! Using any image you want (company logo, personal crest, soccer ball clipart, ect) you can now send Victorian age look-a-like letters for a fraction of the cost most other custom signets would! Each stamp may have only one image, but you can use it for hand delivered mail, mail sent by post office, gifts, prizes, awards, and many other things. Too used to your current one? Just change the color of wax for instant image revitalization! It's not even that pricy to collect a bunch for different logos!
This has NOT been tested for any of the 'detail' materials. Since their melting points are lower than that of white strong and flexible, you may wish to compare the melting point of your wax to the heat resistance of the detail materials (~48˚C). FD and FUD will be available as soon as I can test them myself. Metals are NOT recommended for high detail designs, but are available (though untested) in case you need somthing with those properties and are willing to sacrifice detail (please upload images that reflect this, as I cannot possibly lower the quality of your image and know which details can be left out). Have fun!
Wax Tips:
Although it is recommended (for safety's sake) that you buy dedicated sealing wax, this is not always neccessary. In the above photos, I used simple wax from a scented candle melted in a spoon over heat then dripped and stamped. This particular candle did not have enough added oil/water to leak onto or through the paper and it's melting point was particularily low. I also performed tests using a green candle that did have so much oil as to leak through the envelope AND the letter inside. One sign is that a suitable wax will bulge when stamped at near solid temperatures (see the close up of the stamp example). An unsuitable wax will spread out like water. So perform tests using a tinfoil cup (for melting) a scrap peice of paper (for stamping) and a surface that would not be ruined by oils. This lets you use certain dollarstore candles and still have amazing seals.
