My cousin's wedding was in April. Thus, this is a rather belated gift (but I let them know that I wanted to make them something and it would be rather belated, so I think that means it's ok...) It is intended to be a commemorative Christmas ornament, and I think it came out fantastic. I may need to make this into a Co-Creator, since the new texture-based system for putting text on things works like a charm (Thanks, electrobloom! - http://www.shapeways.com/shops/electrobloom) Who knows - maybe a co-creator of this will be my first sale! (yeah, I'm a software engineer, not a marketer - it's an area for improvement)

Finaly a model I ordered at Shapeways came out great... but unfortunately I just saw that it is not longer available to the public. Too sad, I would have liked to order a couple to give to friends.

I'm talking about the little "Gun Fighter" which is in fact the GunStar from "Last Starfighter". I ordered it in "White strong and flexible, polished":

Meant to post this a while ago... this is my first purchase in Silver. Very happy with it and I love not seeing the evidence of 3D printing that can be seen on some materials (i.e. stair-stepping).

My only quibble with Silver is the price; with a minimum $40 price and then another $15 UPS charges at the door my minimum cost is now $55. When trying to re-sell items this REALLY puts a dent in the profits. However, I understand the amount of work that goes into silver pieces so can't complain too much.

Hi Shapeways fans,

Bubbles-in-a-plane was inspired by ideas from Anthony Villaveiran and Carl Hoff, posted at the Twisty Puzzles Forum. Unlike a convention Engel's Enigma, the rotating parts do not have sixfold symmetry and they are unequally spaced. The result is a quite confusing puzzle that jumbles (bubbles?) and is fudged. The name of the puzzle hints to Antony's nickname "Boublez".

Watch the YouTube video.

The Couplers are fantastic!

I saw the negative gear space and thought "drat, it's too small" however I was WRONG!

It will only go on one way, and it must be STRAIGHT. , no real slop once fit and slid on.

The nut side fits the ACME 1/4" 20 Nut perfectly, no real slop once bottomed.

I may get these in Stainless...

The pliers jaw tests were cool... Not great, but cool.

These were printed just to bring the total to $25 and see a few samples.

One hole on one spreader was not there!
(No reprint needed, it printed about 5% of the depth on one side, so I will drill it)

The surface was a bit rougher that expected but it was Grey Robust. (Which files nicely I might add)

The errors in MY design were clear. Glad it was a $2.00 3D print... Sweet!


VERY happy and working on my next order.

Hi Shapeways fans,

Zygmunt's Cube is based on an idea by Zygmunt Kurczewski. Zygmunt suggested a 2x2x2 cube with an additional 12 edge pairs, each of which could rotate by 180 degrees. Oskar modified Zygmunt's idea to make it look like a 4x4x4 cube, using the same cutting trick that he used for Oh Cube. Experts may recognize that this puzzle could be considered a bandaged version of Mike Armbrust's Rubik's 4x4x4 with a partial twist, which you can buy at Mike's Shapeways Shop.

The 120-cell is the 4 dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron. Just as the dodecahedron has 2-dimensional faces (12 pentagons), the 120-cell has 3-dimensional faces (120 dodecahedra).

This is a model of what you get when you take the 120-cell drawn on the unit sphere in 4-dimensional space, throw half of the sphere away then stereographically project the remainder into our 3-dimensional space.

To get the whole 120-cell back, take two copies of this, and glue them together along their boundaries. You can see lots of half dodecahedra on the boundary of the model which form whole dodecahedra together with their mirror image in the other half.

Did some material comparisons

I wanted to print some items that were simple, with corners, a rod, ring and needed some tight tolerances....so printed that symbol thing from harry potter. Razz

Dimensions in inches
Square shaft in middle is .1. The rod is about .043. rod to circle clearance is about .005. Clearance from circle to top column is .005, same for bottom of circle. Triangle width is .1. radius around each corner about .09. top hole diameter .03. Thickness is .0625. if you would like a dimension that I did not list just let me know.

White detail came out nice, flexible, rounded corners. Fuzzy. Not good for higher tolerance object. The circle in the middle did not move at all, so I forced the spin and it broke. As you can see when printed the rod circle and adjacent melded together.

Transparent detail. Better than the White detail as in edges, kinda the same with the melding together.

The best one was the Frosted Ultra Detail. Came out great. Spins with no problem, strong with flex and nice clean cut edges. Would still need to be cleaned up from some of the fuzz.

These came in a previous order and did not make the video, but I did take pictures.
Also did one in black strong and flexible was the same as the Frosted Ultra Detail, just more of a hard rubber feel, like a slice of tire
I Also did one in the black detail that is the same as the white detail

Did another tank also is white strong and flexible polished. Bottom was a little wavy, but fine for what it is. I did have the cylinder hollowed out but for some reason it was not when I received. I took a paper clip to it and material in powder form came out like a was pouring out a pixy stick. 

Video of items above. And yes my nose was whistling (0 0). Dont need sound to watch

Hi Shapeways fans,

Krystian's Twist is an idea by Krystian Wilisowski, which he posted at the Twisty Puzzles Forum. Krystian worked out how to turn a tridiminished icosahedron into a jumbling twisty puzzle. Actually, his version was more complex with four slices. Carl Hoff suggested that even the jumbling three-slice puzzle could be interesting. This is that three-slice version.

The puzzle has an interesting seven-move jumbling sequence, which cannot be reversed without jumbling. It took me several video attempts to demonstrate it correctly, because the sequence is sort-of hard to remember, see and replicate.

The geometry of this puzzle is a deep-cut edge-turning icosahedron, of which only three of its 15 axes are enabled. It is a little brother of Big Chop, so to say.

Watch the YouTube video.

This pinwheel design can be worn as a pendant or clipped on to clothing as a stylish decorative element.

The design also spins on a central pin.

Hi Shapeways fans,

Hexed Mixup was inspired by the 7-Color Magic Puzzle (aka: Massage Ball) by Otto Wu. I saw this puzzle when I visited Claus Wenicker. The completion of the design was triggered by the HexaMixUp idea by Krystian Wilisowski. The puzzle has three types of moves: rotation of a side, rotation of the top half and rotation of a central slice. Ever though this puzzle does not jumble and it is not fudged either, solving it is rather complex due to the reorientation of the (partially unbandaged) hexagons.

Watch the YouTube video.

Two packages came today- one with stainless steel, and one with WSF!
http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz353/SteveLikesCubes/Shapeways/DSCF6128.jpg

First- the Treble Clef Ring in stainless steel
The height and size are both customizable, and a bass clef is also available.

http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz353/SteveLikesCubes/Shapeways/DSCF6135.jpg

This was the fourth version:
The first was a test to see how the treble clef fit on the staff
The second was the final version of that, but I didn't like how the clef looked.
The third was when I discovered inkscape and made the clef much nicer
The fourth was in stainless steel!
http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz353/SteveLikesCubes/Shapeways/DSCF6155.jpg

I also got a better version of my 3x3x3 assembly puzzle. It was a popular model until I took it down for some modifications, so hopefully it gets back up there!

http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz353/SteveLikesCubes/Shapeways/DSCF6161.jpg

I tried a stainless steel version, but unfortunately it didn't work. It does look rather cool when combined with the other, though!

I just completed work on a new project, my Companion Rubik's Cube. Based on an idea I saw on YouTube, I devised a full skin covering that encases the old puzzle in my beloved Companion Cube's visage. I even cooked up a painting scheme to make it a functional puzzle, although I don't dare scramble the sides. I'm not very good at Rubik's Cubes. LOL

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6138/5993200122_55567e2a08_b.jpg

I've got it up as a full blown kit for others to play with. Since it's not quite Rubik's, and not quite a Companion Cube, I think I'll be safe.

I even made a little video of the assembly and it's function:

Hi Shapeways fans,

PentaJumble is based on a geometry that was suggested by Bram Cohen. The puzzle has four pentagonal faces that can be rotated. The puzzle jumbles, which causes some strange bandaging. The puzzle has all kinds of weird geometric properties, some of which even Bram may not have anticipated. For starters, all edges can be interchanged. Moreover, there are many different ways to assemble the puzzle, such that it has the same outer shape, but different different positions of the little wedge-triangles.

Watch the YouTube video.
Buy the puzzle at my Shapeways Shop.
Read more at the Twisty Puzzles Forum.
Check out the photos below.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone,

I'd like to announce that my Twisted Cubes are now available on my Shapeways Shop!

Type 1 ($90) looks like a 3x3 on top.
Type 2 ($90) looks like a Fisher Cube on top.

You can save $10 by buying them together! (Discount only applies if you order the model entitled "Twisted Cubes - Both", not if you order "Type 1" and "Type 2")

To order, buy it from my Shapeways shop, and then be sure to send an email to eitanspuzzleshop @ gmail . com (remove the spaces) with your order number and which type you ordered, since I have to intervene and send them the correct files.

You can get stickers through Dr. Sticker (a really good source for custom puzzle stickers) for $6.70 for one puzzle, and $4.00 for every additional puzzle. Just email him at dr-sticker @ gmail . com (remove the spaces, but not the "-" dash) and tell him what colors you want on which faces. Be sure to tell him which type of Twisted Cube you bought, so he can send you the right stickers!

Each puzzle needs 6 M3 screws at least 10mm long.

Here is a video and some pictures.

My WSF rings arrived!!

After some Testor's Metallic Emerald Laquer:

The ring is a replica of the artist's Ivan Reis design that appeared in Green Lantern: "Blackest Night".
I loved the design (better than just a circle with two attached lines this was a 3D carving of the logo really
resembling the lantern). I made 10 of these and gave them out at Comic-Con and kept one.

The Ossuary set of dice piles together skulls with large flat numerals (or pips in the case of the four sided die).

There are fifty skulls here for you to play with. They're intended to add a hint of the mortuary madness of the Paris Catacombs to your die rolling, while remaining pleasant to handle, shake, rattle and roll.

Hello all,

I recieved my revised Steampunk Dice and they look terrific! Very legible and once again impressed with the shipping. I have no idea how they are getting here in two days from Netherlands!

Hi Shapeways fans,

Hexagonish Block was inspired by ideas from Anthony Villaveiran and Carl Hoff, posted at the Twisty Puzzles Forum. The top of this puzzle can always turn. The sides can only turn when one half-center matches up with another one. The puzzle can be considered a bandaged puzzle. It does not jumbles as it can be fully unbandaged, in theory, into a puzzle with 15-fold symmetry.

Watch the YouTube video.
Buy the puzzle at my Shapeways Shop.

Enjoy!

I though that the material is less rough and I still have to clean a few corners (already did the most important ones to assemble the cargo "containers"), but I am satisfied with this result.



(I blame all typos and grammatic errors to google translate, even that ones in text passages that I translated by my self)

TWIST is a vase design I did in school, and always wanted to have a finished product of. I am quite pleased with the outcome, and have plans for some more stuff to print in the near future. My wife is buying a little TWIST to give as a wedding present probably in WSF, can't wait to see it!

It turned out very nicely aside from a small chip & crack. I guess in the mad rush to get the ceramics moving again it was damaged, but it's very minor.

EDIT: Here are a few more shots of TWIST in some nice, spring afternoon light with an azalea branch.

Hi all,

Two D10 arrived in Polished White Strong and Flexible.
The D10 Axis:

The D10 Diamond Framed:
/openfile/222678/photos/photo45096.jpg
/openfile/222678/photos/photo45097.jpg

Actually I also wanted to order the D10 Diamond Round, but I made a mistake and ordered the Framed one twice...

They do not roll as usual dice, since they are elongated: you have to make them roll on their axis.

I must say that the Polished White Strong and Flexible has a really great finish, very smooth. But it is white! I hope we will soon have Polished Dyed Strong and Flexible, and why not, Polished Alumide.

Hi just wanted to share this with the forum.
I got my figure a while back got it painted and works pretty well.
The material is WSF primed it and painted it. Joints on the legs and arms work well. On the next version I have remade the chest area and worked on the head. Looking to make some resin casts, will be selling these figures.


You can also see the work on Facebook become a fan much appreciated. I have 3 more characters that I'm working on as well.

Hi Shapeways fans,

Oh Cube is a twisty puzzle, similar to Rubik's Cube. However, it turns in some strange way, turning around corners and pieces sliding under and over each other.

The name "Oh Cube" refers to the intended response from your friends when they fail to turn this "Rubik's Cube" and then you show them how: "Oh, does it turn that way!"

Watch the YouTube video.
Buy the puzzle at my Shapeways Shop.

Just received four more of my printed implicit surface models.

The base models were all generated with a single mathematical expression using MeshLab's implicit surface filter. Then I used the uniform mesh resampling filter to add the wall thickness. The implicit surface is just a boundry between the positive and negative solutions to the equation, so there is initially no thickness.
