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

The filigree design over the skull symbolizes ever growing renewal over the ghost of the past. This is the original design as featured on Kickstarter. It became their #1 most funded sculpture project of all time. Small is pictured sitting in the hand. See pic of all 3 sizes together for comparison.

This is a mobius strip of Level 1 or Super Mario Bros. The whole level is wrapped around itself in a single surface, and poor Mario begins and ends at the same spot every time :(

All the elements from the level are there: every mushroom, turtle, cloud and star. They are all carved out of the surface at different heights, which looks fantastic when you have a light coming from the side, and each block casts a shadow.

It's a great piece to have on your desk, or to hang from a string to let it spin around.

love hurts...but it's fashionable. Clip on back slides into pocket or hangs on pin. Can also be strung as a necklace. Depicting the beauty & pain associated with love… white symbolizing purity, red for passion, black for loss, & silver for reward. The trickle of blood symbolizes sacrifice. It was inspired by the irony of such conflicting emotions within the experience of a relationship.

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Mollusca
Class: Cephalopoda
Order: Octopoda
Suborder: Incirrina
Family: Octopodidae
Subfamily: Octopodinae
Species: Octopus vulgaris, the Common Octopus.

Members of the class cephalopoda are carnivorous hunters. They have the most advanced nervous system of all invertebrate animals and are an important example of advanced cognitive evolution in animals.

O. vulgaris is the most studied of all octopus species and possesses excellent eyesight, capable of distinguishing shapes, textures, and colour. It is the only animal which has been conclusively shown to use tools, and is proficient at learning simple processes such as unscrewing a jar.

Cephalopods are able to release dark pigment into the water as an escape mechanism, which in the past has been extracted and used by humans as an ink or dye. The word sepia comes from the Latin word for cuttlefish, s?pía.

The Ring:

This ring is made using 3D Printing.technology.
It is available in either stainless steel or silver.
It is available in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL. - ring size chart

The BBC feature The Code, which aired in the summer and fall of 2011, culminated in a treasure hunt. This is the treasure. The original was made in bronze-finish steel and silver; this recoloured model shows the structure. It is a rendering of the five Platonic solids, nested.
An uncoloured version is here.

This is a graph embedded in 3-dimensional space as a subset of an "octahedral lattice", which is related to the tessellation of space using octahedra and tetrahedra. The graph has a fractal structure, formed by a process of repeated substitution. Each vertex at each step of the construction is degree 4, and is replaced at the next step by 6 vertices arranged in an octahedron, with certain choices of edges connecting them to each other. Each edge is replaced at the next step by 2 parallel edges. We begin the construction with the first step being the edges of an octahedron, and this is the result at the fourth step.

While playing on the math playground, I found this pretty pebble. Suitable as a pendant or bead.
Necklace not (yet) included, you will need a thin flexible cord to make the sharp turn on the inside.

A fascinating 4-piece puzzle with 2 identical pieces and 2 identical mirror images which interlocks into a tetrahedron. This is the metal version of "Stan's Tetrahedron" at http://www.shapeways.com/model/53194/stan_s_tetrahedron.html It fits nicely out of the box, although the fit is a bit looser than in the plastic (WSF) version of the same puzzle. Update Mar 15 2010: the new version has no holes visible when assembled. Sphere diameter: 12mm.

Only a few copies of this puzzle have been printed.  It is quite expensive and I am not sure if the tolerances in metal are good enough to reproduce it reliably.

Yet another cufflink I made. This one is smaller than the others but still most massive. The cube is 1,5 x 1,5 x 1,5 cm, but it's a cube, so probably a big cufflink. The normal version without twisted layers exists too. I prefer keeping them seperate though. Any combination or spares can be ordered that way.
