Another projection of the 4-dimensional hypercube, this one close to vertex-centered. I love the shape of its hull: almost a rhombic dodecahedron, but skewed just enough to keep the central vertices from meeting.
The more usual projection is here, other polytopes are here.

There are six regular convex polytopes in 4D, which are analogous to the five Platonic solids in 3D. This is the fifth, the hyperdodecahedron, a remarkably beautiful object brought to my attention by George Hart.

Here it's shown in a Schlegel diagram so you can see all 120 dodecahedral cells, though most are transformed by perspective: in this projection, the only regular dodecahedra are the biggest one on the outside and the tiniest one at the center.

A bigger model is here.

This is a model of the woodcut picture made by M.C. Escher in 1965 called 'Knots".
It has since then been a challenge for 3d modelers and mathematicians.
As far as I know it has not been modeled in 3d up till now. (It has! see comments).

The model's height is about 8 cm.

A refined version of our most popular cufflink, we shortened the shaft between the pedal & the chainring to make something that we think looks pretty sweet as a necklace. It works nicely as a lapel ornament too. Chain not included.

Now you can look like an official Dharma Initiative recruit from Lost with this attractive pendant.

As a huge Lost geek I just had to make one of these.
It's designed after the logo of my favorite station, The Swan (a.k.a "The Hatch")

I can probably create more for the other stations, just ask :) NoesisDesignLab@gmail.com

A more traditional I Ching style version of the pendant can be found here:

Recommended in Stainless steel, gold or bronze.

Yantra (यन्त्र) is the Sanskrit word for "instrument of liberation". It is a mystical or astronomical diagram, usually a symbol, often inscribed on an amulet, and said to possess mystical or magical powers.

The act of wearing, depicting, enacting and/or concentrating on a Yantra is held to have spiritual or magical benefits in the Tantric traditions of the Indian religions. In some disciplines of Tantra it is said that a focused, controlled gaze upon a particular yantra may lead to liberation.

Kali is the Goddess of time, and meditating on the Kali Yantra is said to speed up your spiritual evolution.

Superman can't break into your heart. This is part 2 of our U-lock pendant. Part 1 is here. The U-Lock portion actually flexes enough that you can pop the crossbar in place after putting the loops through. Without part 1, however, it won't stay on. Chain sold separately.

The main image here shows the White Detail pendant having been dyed with tea and then coated in acrylic gloss.

Om, Aum, Ohm is a holy meditation symbol of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism with many esoteric and exoteric meanings. In modern usage Om means the Word, the “parnava,” the eternal. Various accounts are given of its origin; one that it is the term of assent used by the gods, and probably an old contracted form of the Sanskrit word "evam" meaning "thus." "Om" is also the name given by the Hindus to the spiritual sun, as opposed to "Sooruj," the natural sun.

The Om is also often referred to as the sound of the Earth…creation...the heart of existence. To become one with the sound of the Om, through visual meditation and sounding of the vibration, allows one to become one with the source of all...to become "realized"... a "master." This last perspective of “Om” is how most westerners experience the “Om” and why it is used as an ending to many New Age ceremonies and gatherings.

These earrings are modeled after those worn by Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail. They make a great cosplay accessory when you connect hoop earrings and jump rings (not included) to make a complete pair of earrings. For the best look, get Stainless Steel or Silver. However, both of these are quite heavy -- they are great for professional photoshoots, but a poor choice for three days at a con! I suggest Alumide, especially Polished Alumide, for a metallic finish without as much weight. Just be aware that Alumide can be brittle, so keep it gentle.

I love my bike! It's based on an old racing cycle frame combined with a lot of nice and rare bicycle parts. I do not want it stolen, so I carry it every day, 100 steps down, 100 steps up. Sometimes living on the 4th floor is a real disadvantage.
Adding a carrying handle seems useful and in fact it is working very well!

This carrying handle works nice on old steel bike racing frames. The diameter of the down- and seat-tube is 29 mm (1.14 inch). Please message me if you need it for another frame size.

It comes without screws and bolt nuts! You need two 4 mm screws and bolt nuts. The screws should be 10-15 mm (0.39-0.59 inch) long.

Based upon the geometry of the Icosahedron.
Can be worn as a pendant; lanyard not included.

During the late 70's and early 80' I became highly fascinated by Polyhedra and its Duality.
Intrigued by the little known fact that Plato and Archimedes described their wonderful objects by drawing them with just a stick on the sand, I set up to replicate (well, more or less :-) their extraordinary feat by strictly using only a "T" square, a pair of Compasses, a set of 2 Triangles, and a Ruler.
For the next 5 years I practically lived inside Polyhedra (see picture above :-) and, what I used to call "The Archimedes' Curse", ended up to be, in fact, "The Archimedes' Blessing"!

The Polyhedral Sculptures depicted below were hand made (from scrap offset plates) and assembled with machine screws from stackable modular pieces. The modules were drawn/designed on a drawing table while strictly using only a "T" square, a pair of Compasses, a set of 2 Triangles, and a Ruler.

MODULAR POLYHEDRAL LAMP DESIGN (©1981) / Scored and folded aluminium offset plates, machine screws & nuts (©1981)

Based upon wonderful knowledge I accumulated hands-on during the 1980's while exploring "the extraordinary spatial diversity that emanates from the sublime order and elegant simplicity that is exemplified by the subject of polyhedra." (Quote from the Preface to the wonderful book POLYHEDRA PRIMER by Peter Pearce and Susan Pearce)

I was extremely pleased when, a few years back, Prof. George Hart (Department of Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY) included some of my Polyhedral Sculptures, alongside work by Buckminster Fuller and other great designers in his comprehensive COURSE STUDY: COMPUTER SCIENCE AND SCULPTURE (pg. 39-40, OPRESCO).

8-BIT Mushroom Pendant

Stop going unnoticed with your boring regular looks and start attracting the attention you so deserve with this ultra-classy 8-Bit looking mushroom pendant!

Most of you may remember it from the first Mario game and if you do - so will your friends ;)

The pendant is made out of little cubes for that extra-authentic 8-Bit look that everybody loves. The "grid" upon which the figure is built is 16x16x4 cubes. Being ~32mm wide this means that at the widest parts there are 16 cubes of 2mm in size across :)

Please choose your material carefully as this will affect the look and feel of the pendant!

> To see a full 3D preview - click on the little cube icon to the right of the image frame
> To see available materials and prices - see the dropdown menu to the right

The pendant is quite big (3,2cm x 3,8xm x 0,8cm) and this means that it's volume is quite big too, which results in a higher price. Sorry about that, but there is not much I can do about it :(

If you have any questions - feel free to send me a message using any preferred contact method.

Enjoy and be sure to see more available items at 'uncle QUATRO's workshop'!

My entry for the wedding contest: a Sierpinski tetrahedron made with hearts instead of triangles. It could be used as a centerpiece, maybe decorated with some flowers, or as a gift.
Either way it may be personalized with the names of the couple in the big hearts.

Inspired by xkcd: http://xkcd.com/543/ There are 204 hearts in total.
This version stands about 8.5 cm / 3.4 in tall.

3 intricate HO-scale old Swiss military bikes models. The models are being delivered in an easy to remove wire box, to avoid any damage during transport. The lower part of that box is used to support model during painting.
These bikes are very common everywhere in Switzerland. Civilian use of these bicycles is very developed, because they are very tough.

3 modèles réduits des anciens vélos militaires suisses à l'échelle H0. Les vélos sont livrés dans une cage de protection afin d'éviter tout dommage dû au transport. La partie inférieure de cette cage est conçue comme support pour faciliter la peinture de ces modèles réduits hautement détaillés.
Ces vélos sont très répandus en Suisse. Ils sont très utilisés à cause de leur robustesse.
