Inspired by the well known mobius strip (discovered by August Ferdinand Möbius in 1858), an interest in the unusual, and 3D modelling, I created the Twin Rail mobius pendant.
A half shell and 3 rails form a bearing-like structure to encapsulate a train of 6mm balls in a mind-warping cage with a twisting, fascinating movement bringing to life the only pendent of its kind in the world.
Includes a 4mm loop for attaching to a necklace or leather cord.
See the photographs with retro-fitted 31 6mm chrome steel ball bearings... in the bottom photo, the balls have been heated until they 'blue'... check out the video to see how they move by clicking on the little icon below the camera above.
Also available smaller and in silver, Twin Rail Mobius Pendant - small
Note: this item is the shell alone, you will need to aquire and fit the balls (31 x 6mm or 29 x 1/4 in) as well as a suitable necklace to hang it from, a 3mm leather cord works well.

Solid Marble like model. Full Color. Very accurate. 1.0 inch in diameter. View my store for a larger hollow version. This model has been a great selling item for me, and printed many times. Great for many different uses!
This model has been orderd many time since I first uploaded it. I'm curious, what are people doing with it, send me a message or post a comment please, I'm dying to know! What other sizes would you like to see? I love the idea a customer left to use these as a Geocache item. Great idea!

An even more mind-bending version of the popular "One ring to rule the ball" design--it seems doubly impossible that this ball could be solidly contained by just one short, twisting wire. IMPORTANT: this design adds a small metal loop at the top to attach the necklace. For the plain design please order from http://www.shapeways.com/model/145172/one_ring_to_pwn_the_ball.html .

Know someone who's a 20? Keep a little (1.5 cm by 1 cm) photo of them inside this 20 sided die necklace. Comes in two parts. Pass your chord through the hole in the top half, through the loop inside the bottom half, and back out through the hole again. The loop is attached to a platform where you can glue picture.
