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.

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)

Featured at multiple design shows including Dutch Design Week, Maker Faire, World Maker Faire, SIGGRAPH, and more!

A smaller version is available both as earrings and as a pendant.

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.

While provocatively curved, she is indeed very shy!
She only allows a glowing glimpse of what she holds inside.

A light shade for LED tea-light or Luxeon/Cree LED
Hiding the source from direct view, resulting in a gentle light emerging

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.

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.

A buckle for all named Michael, Melissa, Malcom, Monique, Manfred, Margaret, Marcy ...
The good thing, it works for Wiliam, Wendy, Walter ... too.
If you are a fan of the letter "M", this one is your thing!

It comes without belt and metal strap!
I used an old bicycle-spoke for the strap. This works pretty well but keep in mind, that you have to do this on your own.

If there is a need for a fixed strap that is part of the buckle, please let me know.

It's a small coffee cup whose handle is a moebius strip.
It is only attached on one side (where it is horizontal): I guess such a shape should be difficult to do without 3D-printing.
Oddly enough, it is quite ergonomic: put your thumb on the vertical part of the moebius strip, put the opposite horizontal part between your index and your medium, et voilà!

Inspired from the classic Möbius Strip, this design has a small "snake" that travels the path along the outside, then inside, and back again, helping illustrate the concept. The inside diameter is about 2.7 inches. Go view a video I made of the test section I just received in Stainless Steel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIEXeOSeG-8 There is a modification I need to make before it will work in steel, but the other materials should print just fine. the way the steel is finished ended up sort of welding the snake to the bracelet! :)

Please note, there is a larger version in my shop now too. The large is about 3.0 in inside diameter.

It works! The little "meat ball" moves around inside this, and makes a bit of a jingle sound when you play with the piece.

This is the first in my "Spaghetti With Meat Ball" series. The "meat ball" rolls around inside the pendant making it rather fun to play with while wearing it.

It is about 1.5 inches wide.

To make it more consistent in manufacturing, the metal ball (meat ball) will need to be installed. All you do to install the ball, is push the spaghetti a bit, and pop the ball in the gap. You can also put in any 6 or 7mm ball.

A ball bearing, bead, etc.  can go into it.  In fact, you can put in a bunch of them if you like.  It looks really cool with 13 ball bearings.  That's the most you can fit into it.

I call this pendant simply - '69'

Partially inspired by my previous pendant Twin Rail Mobius, '69' is a set of four rails arranged in a figure 8 to make a train of balls travel in seemingly never ending 6 and 9 shapes.

Note: shell only is 3D printed, add your own 6mm or 1/4in balls!
If the balls stick, use just one ball to find the sticky spot and adjust the rails physically either with pliers or a screwdriver - doing so is at your own risk, so please blame no-one but yourself if injury is caused.

This version of the Acoustabowl was specifically designed for Ceramic, but is available in all printable materials. The Acoustabowl is designed to hold any current phone, even the very large Samsung Note. It has been tested with the Samsung SII Skyrocket, Samsung SIII (speaker is towards the top of phone, so phone must be upsidedown), and the Apple iPhone 3GS. Put your phone in, play a song or video, and enjoy the enhanced acoustics of the Acoustabowl.
