The third public evolution of the Animaris Geneticus Parvus. #7 has evolved legs, with pointy feet instead of flat. Featuring a fully working Theo Jansen mechanism as used in his work "the Rhinoceros".
Also see our new Propeller Propulsion add-on, to have your Strandbeest walk autonomously!

The mechanism is printed assembled, and will work without further assembly right after birth from the printer.

A few tips to consider:

- After birth there might be a little powder left in some joints, or it might not go supersmooth. This will fix itself after the animal has a little bit of practice!

- Some surfaces work better than others. The legs require a little friction, and a flat surface. So for example: A rough table or floor, thin flat carpeting, or a thin rubber sheet. It will slip on a too smooth surface.

- The best way to push it is by its nameplate. Do not push down, but forward.

- The beest is light, but quite strong. It can actually be dropped without breaking. It is not a "toy" however, and not suitable for children. The 3D printer material is easy to stain so clean hands are advised.

Dodecahedral sibling of Gyro the Cube.
Same principle, more faces, more rings and more fun ;-)
Made of five nested dodecahedra, each one is limited to rotate about it's own axis.

This is the 6.5cm / 2.5" version, see the Gyro the Forms
Experimental corner stand available here

Instructions
For tighter clearances it is printed with the hinges out of place. So this model needs a little manual assembly. Each element has two "knobs" which need to be "clicked" into the corresponding "clamps" in the parent element.
It's easiest to start with the inner one and then continue outwards.
And then... rotate away !

A Voronoi network wrapped onto a Möbius toroid.

A borromeanring-minimal surface in honeycomb style. Now i have one in a half size too.

A surprising arrangement of figures to create a mathematical form.

Please note that you must order TWO SETS to create the cube – each set includes two figures and four are necessary to create this sculpture. The figures are identical and snap together tightly hands to ankles to make this striking sculpture. Mix and match colors for your own effects. Or order more than two sets to experiment with other configurations.

This model is being exhibited at the Center for Arts Gallery at Towson University, June 30-July 28, 2012.

Snowflake fractal pendant or decoration, pictured in white, strong and flexible.

This design looks beautiful worn as a pendant, and can also be hung as a tree ornament.

Dimensions of the pendant are cm:4.75 w x 4.908 d x 1.332 h / in:1.9 w x 1.9 d x 0.5 h (the dimensions of every Shapeways model are also on each page - near the bottom of the page).

There are six regular convex polytopes in 4D, which are analogous to the five Platonic solids in 3D. This is the sixth, the hypericosahedron, with 600 tetrahedral cells.

This was the hardest of this group to make a printable model of. For a Schlegel diagram one would need quite a large size to allow the amount of interior complexity required, and it gets difficult to build as well as expensive, so I used this face-first projection suggested by Henry Cohn. Some of the tetrahedral are collapsed and become planar, but on the plus side the complexity is on the outside where you can see it!

This prickly sphere looks amazing in 3D, you can lose your self for hours playing and being mesmerized by it.
It doubles as an acupuncture ball, roll it around on your body ( I love it on my head) to relax and circulate your blood, the skin feels tingly afterwards. 

This model is made of a two continuous bands that wrap diagonally around a torus shape 45 times before connecting to the original starting points. Here's two more Spiral Tori: Spiral Torus 110mm and a colored version Holiday Spiral Torus

This radiolaria-like object started out as a simple cube which has undergone several iterations of fractal subdivisions, each with a small amount of displacement applied. Next the edges between each point have been traced volumetrically and then smoothed in order to create this final form - the lattice representation of the original mesh.

A small mobius strip charm that can be used as a pendant or as a keychain.

A mobius strip is a very unique shape because it defies conventional logic. It is a 3-dimensional object with only two faces. A single twist makes them flow from the outside to the inside and back again. Simple and elegant.

The Elegant Bowl is a gorgeous aesthetic piece created with pattern of radiating circles and a broad rim. It is designed to hold the Sixties Series Balls. It will also serve as a great decorative piece or as a fruit bowl in any home wanting to add a little elegance and style to it... Great idea for a unique gift

This is the framework for a work-in-progress. A subdivided dodecahedron provides the basis for this complicated truss. There are circular holes on the vertices, edge-middles and face-centers of the original object. The holes are designed to accept snap-in inserts in three sizes, making it easy to add the additional parts and a pedestal to the sculpture.

A simply stellar rounded cube!
