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.

A theorem walks into a bar...
The Klein Bottle is a mathematical joke: a surface with only one side. This one feels just right in your hand and opens bottles with ease and style. Built to last in steel, it's the perfect touch for any math fan's kitchen.

Inspired by the well known mobius strip (discovered by August Ferdinand Möbius in 1858), an interest in the unusual, and 3D modelling, I created the Twin Rail mobius pendant.
A half shell and 3 rails form a bearing-like structure to encapsulate a train of 6mm balls in a mind-warping cage with a twisting, fascinating movement bringing to life the only pendent of its kind in the world.
Includes a 4mm loop for attaching to a necklace or leather cord.
See the photographs with retro-fitted 31 6mm chrome steel ball bearings... in the bottom photo, the balls have been heated until they 'blue'... check out the video to see how they move by clicking on the little icon below the camera above.
Also available smaller and in silver, Twin Rail Mobius Pendant - small
Note: this item is the shell alone, you will need to aquire and fit the balls (31 x 6mm or 29 x 1/4 in) as well as a suitable necklace to hang it from, a 3mm leather cord works well.

A 3-dimensional version of the Hilbert space filling curve.
As shown in the photos, if printed in one of the "Strong & Flexible" plastics, it can be used as a bracelet or hair accessory. It takes a little time to reform back as a cube after being stretched, but it seems that leaving it overnight does the job.

Both a tribute to ubiquitous, and lovely, hexagonal colour pencils, and a representation of what was coined by Joris Peels as 'combinatory manufacturing'.
Combine the connector piece with any set of 36 standard hexagonal pencils of about 7.0 mm cross section (measured at the smallest diameter). These types of sets are available around the world from many department stores and art supply stores - I’ve seen good sets for as little as 5 euro.
Examples of pencils that fit are Stabilo Aquacolor 1600, and Caran d’Ache Prismalo I, but there are many more. I’ve recently heard that in the US, Prismacolor Verithin Colored Pencils (available from Amazon and others) work well. Normal black pencils often have the same size and shape and can be used too.
If you are new to the Shapeways website: to order you will be asked to create an account (it's easy). Assembly may leave slight marks on pencils. For more information on this or other products, please visit www.michielcornelissen.com.

Ever lose the little plate with nowhere to put your cup of espresso? It's confusing. Designed to eliminate the need for a plate or coaster, the plateless espresso cup can sit directly on the table without leaving a ring behind. Without the plate, you can move from room to room with your espresso and still have one free hand. You'll find yourself wondering why espresso cups ever got involved with the little plates in the first place. Can hold up to 90ml.

It arrived in WSF, and it works for real :-)
Gear system based on hypotrochoid shapes.
It is printed as a 9 piece puzzle, a VERY frustrating one at that ;-)
Depending on the print batch, it might need some minor sanding to make it run properly.
Steel available on request, still untested by me.
I think steel will work but probably needs some more sanding to make it fit.
With the new pricing scheme, the steel version is no longer available.
If you want one in steel, please send me a message and we will find a way.

Phamora Ceramics!
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.

A hanging cup for your double espresso the morning after ;-)
It's in such a state that it cannot stand on it's own, so it really needs some support.
Luckily it has :-)
When you order, you will get the Hangover cup and the matching stand in glazed ceramics.
Printed Ceramics
With the current process, the round bottom on the cup will likely show some minor pits in the glazing from a small tripod it stands on during the baking.
And the bottom of the stand/saucer has rougher structure.
The rest of the glazing is fully covering, so it's safe to drink from.
Also available as a more sober version (standalone)
The cup is designed for a double espresso(60 ml), but can hold a maximum of about 90 ml.
Check out this photo of black version here

Let them know that you know that they're watching you. Perfect for soirées at the Soviet embassy.
Sorry, the joints aren't functional: Shapeways doesn't allow moving parts in metal. If that ever changes, you can bet I'll change the design!
Photos are of Sterling Silver (unpolished). I can't guarantee that they'll come out nicely in stainless steel, because I haven't tried it; some detail might get lost. (Let me know how it comes out if you try it!).

The Hipster pick for the 2011 Holiday season!
Our living room wall is decorated with some LP's which are, in turn, decorated with some 3d printed goodness: two birds on a branch, tweeting along to your favourite music. The branch can be clipped onto wall mounts for records.
Goes well with the second clip-on model: the vinyl notes.

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.
Give it a good spin and it moves in erratic and wild ways.
This is the 7.5cm / 3" version, see the Gyro the Forms section for other shapes and sizes.
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 !
Corner stand for this 7.5cm model here.
Notes
Be careful with a cube this size, fingers may get pinched if handled carelesly.
It is not a toy for children!
Also please be careful with (the assembly of) the Alumide version as this material is less flexible/robust than the Strong & Flexible materials.

This is the 7.5cm / 3" version, see the Gyro the Forms section for other shapes and sizes.
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 !
Corner stand for this 7.5cm model here.
Notes
Be careful with a cube this size, fingers may get pinched if handled carelesly.
It is not a toy for children!
Also please be careful with (the assembly of) the Alumide version as this material is less flexible/robust than the Strong & Flexible materials.

I've seen enough to know where this is going...oh, just kidding. It's a rhombic dodecahedron. With an exotic symmetry group. That's all. Really.

The design I'm trying to make is exactly twice as complex as this one. This stage of it seemed like a good place to pause for a breather.

Model of a tricycle. This will print as 1 piece, with turnable steering, pedals, and wheels. Riding this trike is strongly discouraged. :p
Note: this best prints in White Strong and Flexible. The steering may be stuck when you first receive it. Simply rotate the steering column back and forth very gently until the powder escapes and the steering becomes loose.

I've made a few changes to make the cooker easier to use. I've updated the handle and made the bottom flat so anyone could eat from it. I've added an extrusion near on the handle to stabilize the cooker in the base. Version 1 was very nice looking, and version 2 will keep most of the original design
while adding stability.
It will be fun to collect every color of ceramic shapeways makes. So far I have white ceramic, avocado green, and glossy black with the other colors on their way. If you are looking to get just the cooker, here's the link.
If you want to customize this in any way please email me on shapeways or contact me via my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroDistanceDesigns
This little cooker is designed around the lowly tealight. First meals have been with a standard tealight (38mm x 38mm x 16mm) as the heat source and safflower oil inside the cooking vessel with minced green tomatoes, Portuguese sausage, and sliced garlic. After those tasty results, I progressed to make a variety of dishes.
Tiny Dishes + other savory treats:
- roasted garlic
- cheese frying: ale cheddar, mozzerella
- melted milk chocolate
- fried bread dough
- baked a small spice cake ball
- melted marshmellow + milk chocolate for different smores variations.
other neat applications:
- Heats soy wax to 200 (need to blow out the candle at 185F) and made soy candles.
temperatures:
- heats water: 200F
- heats safflower oil: 300F
limitations:
- uneven heating causes glaze cracks. The latest design with a flattened bottom seems to prevent cracks, but the base can still get glaze cracks.
other oil tests:
- coconut oil, grapeseed oil, butter were all tested and work well.
- walnut oil was tested and I don't recommend it as the oil spattered a few feet in the air as it heated up.
