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 product at this page is the PadFoot model that fits perfectly to iPad 2 as well as the 3d and 4th generation iPad. For PadFoot for iPad 1, go here.
PadFoot, the popular viewing stand for iPad, is now available for iPad 2 and the 3d and 4th generation iPad.
PadFoot clips to the corner of your iPad and will securely stand it upright in both landscape and portrait mode. It’s great for watching movies, clips and slideshows, for making FaceTime calls, as well as for use in presentations and (shop) displays.
At just 10 grams, PadFoot is now even lighter and smaller than its predecessor, with an increased viewing angle for even more viewing comfort - while it’s as stable and sturdy as ever.
Price information
The prices of PadFoot have been reduced by up to 20%. If you like, you can save shipping costs by combining this product with another product, like the ones from my shop; or just browse the galleries. A wholesale pack of 4 PadFoots, at up to 30% lower prices, is available here.
General information
PadFoot is manufactured in tough but lightweight, 3d printed polyamide with a fine surface texture. Check the materials section of this website for more information. Colors are seasonal; current availability is shown at the bottom of this page - this may be different from the colors shown in the images above. Each product ordered is individually manufactured, just for you. If you are new to the Shapeways site: to order, you'll be asked to create an account (it's easy; you can even log in with Facebook or Twitter).
It's best to use PadFoot on a stable and horizontal surface. Always make sure that your iPad is placed all the way into the opening in PadFoot; resting the iPad on one of its two edges without buttons. PadFoot will only work if your iPad has no cover on it. Product ships in basic Shapeways packaging. For more information, visit www.michielcornelissen.com; if you have any feedback or questions on this item, please feel free to contact me directly at michiel (at) michielcornelissen.com.
Some of the reactions on PadFoot, when it was introduced:
“PadFoot - Finally an iPad stand I can settle on. The iPad stands up perfectly, and there is absolutely no wobble or shake... PadFoot is also absolutely great to watch movies on the iPad...”

“... I was surprised by how small and lightweight it was... the PadFoot is extremely portable... PadFoot will hold the iPad securely at an angle perfect for viewing slide shows or videos.”

“... the Padfoot, a minuscule, efficient iPad stand that is beautiful in its simplicity.”

The N12.bracelet gives you a little piece of the N12 system.
Unfortunately Shapeways has a different process for the color now, and the bracelet is no longer available in red. There still is white and black!
