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.

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.

The nocturnal (or nocturlabe) is a very old instrument for telling time at night by measuring the stars. While concept is ancient, this design is all original. It is fully functional (all dials move properly) and meant to be worn as a pendant. This is now available for sale, as it has been tested and works nicely.
How to Use the Nocturnal:
The top of the nocturnal is where you see a bit of a ring around a spike. This ring can be strung with a chain and makes it possible to wear the nocturnal as a pendant. When reading the nocturnal, this end of the piece should always be up.
Your first step is to set the outermost dial on the date. The months are shown as letters, with January and December at the top, and the progression of the months running *counterclockwise*. Note that the exact position of the letter actually marks the middle of that month. Look closer at the piece and you will see the line that separates the months between the letters.
Now, hold your nocturnal up to the starry night sky, making sure that the date is still properly set. Locate the North Star centred in the hole in the middle of the Nocturnal. Then use the central dial (the one that looks like a pointer) to point to the two stars at the end of the bowl of the *big* dipper.
Once you have this all set. Look closer at the pointer and you will see that within the pointer is an eliptical ring and within this is a smaller pointer. This smaller pointer points to a roman numeral, which shows you the time.
Note again, that the roman numeral is centred on the middle of the hour. So, if the little pointer points in the centre of the numeral, it is in fact half past.
So now you can tell time at night without a powered time piece. This is great for night owls, vampires, and those who appreciate a gothic or steampunk look.

The filigree design over the skull symbolizes ever growing renewal over the ghost of the past. This is the original design as featured on Kickstarter. It became their #1 most funded sculpture project of all time. Actual size is shown sitting in the hand. See pic of all 4 sizes together for comparison.

The Wrap is an accessory that attaches to the USB end of your iPhone charger, transforming it into a handy little cable winder for the charging cord.
This version of The Wrap works with recent US iPhone chargers and USB cables as shown in the images, up to those of iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S - please check before you purchase. There is currently no version of The Wrap available for iPhone 5 cables. It may work with other countries’ iPhone chargers too, but only if the geometry is exactly the same as the US version as shown here.
This product was originally developed for the European version of the iPhone charger - that version can be found here. The Wrap is manufactured in tough but lightweight, 3d printed polyamide with a fine surface texture. Colors may vary - please check in the 'select material' section above for the latest versions. Some powder residue from the printing process may be left on the product; if that's the case, it should be easy to clean off. Product is shipped in standard Shapeways packaging.
You can have a look at all the products in my shop here. Shipping rates are flat, so you could divide them over several products. If you have any feedback or questions on this product, please feel free to e-mail me directly at michiel(at)michielcornelissen(dot)com. If you like, follow me on twitter.
A wholesale offer of 8 units of The Wrap at reduced prices is now available here.

It's a cute little bird, but there's more to it. Merry Bird is an example of a product that can only be manufactured with 3d-printing technology. ?Take a close look: the bird and its hinged (!) swing are printed right inside the cage - no post-production assembly is necessary.
Originally designed as a Christmas ornament, Merry Bird looks good enough to display all year round.
Merry Bird is also available in design stores worldwide through designlabel Soonsalon; mail Sheila for information on the nearest shop to buy, and wholesale options.

This design was inspired by the swirling seed heads of Clematis flowers. When I first saw the seed pods, the first thought that came to my mind was, "The flower is dancing." This model took me longer than expected to finish. My first model was a chaotic tangle of lines. (It looked like the flower went mad instead... hahaha) I went back to look at references to try to capture the original lightness and motion of the flower seeds. At the end, the model was tweaked further to make sure none of the tails intersect each other.

CLIP-IT for iPhone -US edition-
Your charge buddy on the go.
Clip-it for iPhone converts your iPhone charger to a wall dock; making sure that you can easily charge your phone at every wall socket. Unfurnished rooms, hotels and conference rooms are no longer a problem.
Clip-it makes use of your existing Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable. Simply snap it in and lock it by clipping it to your charger. Clip-it is perfectly engineered to hold the latest two generations of original 30 pin Apple charging cables.
Clip-it US is designed for the iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S and the included Apple USB Power Adapter (US version).
The European version of Clip-it is available here.
Clip-it is manufactured by innovative 3D-printing in tough but lightweight polyamide. The surface has a fine texture. The product will be shipped in basic Shapeways packaging. Some powder residue from the 3D-printing process may be found on the product itself; if this is the case, it should be easy to clean off with small tooth sticks & brushes. When you ordered Clip-it in colour it might be wise to clean it with water under the tap, so the dyeing pigments that might still be on the product don’t colour your white Apple gadgets. For further information & support contact the Shapeways customer service.

This is a large somewhat abstract version of a dandelion. It's very cool in person, and would probalby look very interesting with designer lighting placed on it. It's a great addition to a room for someone that has everything, becasue I'm sure they don't have this yet. Check it out on youTube as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mLc6lftEFE

Putting this on hold in most colors due to new polished colors making the case not close as well. Black should work as normal.
A hinged snap case for the newest version of the Square Reader, this Case also fits the previous version which was the first iteration to be sold in stores.
**Please note this case does not come with a keychain attachment (to attach your own you'll also need a jump ring) or a lanyard. Also, there is not an extra color-protective coat of varnish on the piece. If you desire a varnished piece with either a keychain or lanyard attachment order from my shop on Etsy.com:
www.cwestbrookdesigns.etsy.com
Inspired by the fact I kept misplacing my Square Reader when I went to conventions and there weren't many visually pleasing options to fulfill my needs.
Designed with a loop that can attach to a keychain via a jump ring (not included) or attach to a lanyard / neck strap (not included). This one has my decorative Swirl Gear logo, but I'm waiting to see if I can get Square's permission to have their logo on the front as an option. Please note that this version direct from Shapeways doesn't have a coat of varnish to add extra color protection.
Designed by C Westbrook Designs in San Francisco and printed by Shapeways.
3D printing allows the hinge to come fully assembled and functional. It does not come with a keychain or lanyard attachment unless you purchase it off my Etsy shop listing.
This listing links to a video of the case in action (above).
To avoid any confusion let me clarify that if you buy a case from this store you are ordering directly from Shapeways who manufactures / 3D prints it. I can not cancel or change any orders made from this site. If you ordered a case from this listing please contact service@shapeways.com with any concerns that are unrelated to the design aspect.

Note: the glass domes aren't always the exact dimension, so some might not fit without a little sanding.

In many cultures, the fox appears in folklore as a symbol of cunning and trickery. Like "Reynard the Fox", a medieval charistmatic character who is always in trouble but always able to talk his way out of any retribution.
I like to be clever more often, too. Not to trick but to convince when it's needed.
The Fox Whistle can be used as a pendant, so it's always to hand.
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.

Want a smaller one? Necklace/pendant version available here.
The skeletal essence of a dead leaf, with minute details of veins in different widths. I replicated the branching straight out of pictures from dead leaves, so the pattern is extremely realistic.
The stem on top of the skull is curved so that you can hang your nightmarish ornament anywhere you want.
This is a very sturdy and resilient material, it will not break if you bend or drop it.

A small glass fits underneath to water the flowers. Available in white or black.
note: because of flexible nature of material, this vase is not suitable for bigger bouquets.
