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. 118x87_36851_89894_1338413385.jpg + 118x87_387662_147353_1338413388.jpg

Companion Cube storage box

Dimensions:
> Storage compartment (inner space): 30x30x30mm
> Outer maximum boundaries: 43x43x43mm
Other sizes and prices available on my store!

From the creator of the well-known GLaDOS ring comes a brand new accessory that is sure to be turning heads of those who see it - the Companion Cube storage box!

If you are a Portal geek like me - you know that the Companion Cube is basically a loveable version of Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube. So if it's a storage cube - why not store something in it!
This little buddy is perfect for stashing your favorite pice(s) of jewelry or other small nick-knacks in style. Maybe it could even become a box for an engagement ring...?

The cube's corners reach up to ~6.4mm in thickness and the walls are as thick as ~3mm, so you are guaranteed that the cube will withstand rough conditions!
\ The actual product may not look like in the presented pictures - it comes in a single color, depending on the material you've chosen from the material list to the right! If you select durable plastic material, it is perfect for painting if you so desire :)

Please also check out other products on my store and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

I revised the Christmas Ornament RBS to have just a little more slope. I'm hoping it's enough to have the marble roll without problem. I added a few new things. This one has a circular base so that it should stand on its own. I also beefed up the frame to make it more durable. There's less rungs and a few more braces. I will have to print it and test it. If you just want one even though it hasn't been tested, please feel free to order but you're on your own. http://www.rollingballsculpture.net
