Here are a few of my new silver prints of nested polyhedra.

Each model consists of a pair of polyhedra connected to each other at the center of each of their faces. The connection is not readily apparent, and gives more of an impression that the inner shape is floating.

model pages:
double dodecahedron
double icosahedron
double bucky

Hi all,
recently the ship designs for my personal game project Codename : STARSHOOTER arrived.

So if you like sci-fi miniatures, 3D printing and games, be sure to check out my page at :


http://www.taurris.com/

Youtube Video

or the IndieGOGO campaign itself

http://www.indiegogo.com/starshooter

If you like it, don't wait too long, because these ship designs are exclusively for the IndieGOGO campaign.





For now, I tested these 2 miniatures and I know that I have to make some adjustments to the the thickness of some parts, but overall I'm satisfied. But there's still enough time for these modifications, because they'll be shipped to the customers after the campaign ends. Until that time I will make sure that each ship is perfect.

A few days ago i received my own Supernatural Amulet!
It's inspired by the amulet Dean Winchester is wearing in the tv-series.
I created it by myself because as a big fan of Supernatural i was always disappointed that all available amulet replicas out there didn't looked screen accurate enough for me.
It was printed in Antique Bronze Glossy and is 1.4 inches in height. A little bit to small in my opinion so i increased the height to 1.6 inches for the version in my shop.
But it's looking really great. For the ones who think it's a bit to dark i would suggest to order it in Gold Plated Glossy.

Hi Shapeways fans,

Snake Ball is a mechanical maze. The object is to separate the two rings. The complexity from this puzzle is that one ring has a little pin that slides in the grooves of the other ring and vice verse. So you will have to solve two mazes simultaneous. The puzzle also has another surprise. When you are at the point that you think you have finally solved the puzzle, you will discover that you are only halfway.

Snake Ball was originally 3D-printed by George Miller, and sold at his Puzzle Palace website. However, with his shop closed down and demand for this puzzle continuing, the puzzle is now for sale at my Shapeways Shop.

Hi Shapeways fans,

Concentric Cube is a variation to the Nested Cube. It features a frame holding three concentric 2x2x2 Rubik's Cube. The three cubes are bandaged to each other. One bandage goes from layer A to B, one from B to C and one all the way from frame to A, B and C.

They arrived more than one year ago, but I hadn't post any pictures yet.
So here is one.
The Dod Earring in Silver:

It is a thin version of the Dod Earrings specially designed for Silver.
In the same collection:
- Dod Earrings with Sphere
- Dod Pendant With Sphere

Directly inspired from the Truncated Sphere D12, obviously...

Hi Shapeways fans,

Gear Head is a 3D-printed replica of a human head, cut in four slices and connected by a gearing system. The object of the puzzle is to turn the head back in shape. Getting three slices right is easy. The challenge is getting also the last slice right.

This puzzle was prototyped by George Miller on his FDM 3D-printer in 2005. I decided to put it for sale at my Shapeways Shop. It is less expensive than Over The Top.

heya

couple more prints i got

Skul: looks alot more red in real life......think its due to the exposure on the camera.

there is also a miss print on it (at the bottom) not sure why this is....i have checked the model and its fine.
also have to move the circle framing the apple logo.
fits well and very strong

zurclz: (the second image) was inspired by a design i saw im dubai.

I plan to add a little more girth as it has a bit too much flex.
strangely the circle framing the logo is spot on in this one.
the model is in purple....

Hi,

Here there is the first preview piece of the LOGO Man Collection. This is the armband and very soon there will be the ring and probably also a pendant. I will also try this collection in silver or other metal materials.
A simple design but I think elegant and casual at the same time.
Available on my shop:
http://www.shapeways.com/model/517860/logo-collection-man-ar mband-17-cm.html

Here some pictures:







Opinion and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
Dario

Hi Shapeways fans,

Gardner Ball is a tribute to Martin Gardner. This tribute has the name "Gardner" tessellated around a sphere. The tessellation was designed by Scott Kim, and Oskar 3D-ified it. This math-art object was commissioned by Tom Rodgers. Samples were handed out at the Gathering for Gardner (G4G10) at Atlanta, end March 2012.

Hello,

finally I have the photos ready of my ring and bracelet designs in silver. I am wearing the ring for months now nearly every day and just love it.



So I decided to add two different types of bangles to the series, which are now also available.



All silver models are available for sale, the ring can be customized in size.

My the latest experiment is a print in alumide of the same shape as the ring, where I added an accurately shaped small ring to the model to use it as a pendant. I tumbled the print myself and the alumide got a fantastic, sparkling surface - regrettably difficult to see on the picture (I left it in the tumbler a bit too long, so some borders show this.)



What do you think about these?

(And no, the lizzards are no work of my own, I just fell in love with them in my decoration store and adore their color ...)

Hi all again !

I'm back with new kittens earrings, hope you like them.
This time, I made a better tail, because the older ones didn't have much of a cat look.

First kitten earrings, in RSF which I ordered were gone after few days and I got an "order" to make some rats earrings. So I'm quite currious, how they will turn out.

If you want to see more of them, head over here.
BLOG

Or to my shop.

And again, any comments, thoughts are welcome.

Hi Shapeways Puzzles fans,

Sweet Dream Cube is a tribute to the Nightmare Cube by Adam Cowan, based on an idea by Noah. The Nightmare Cube is a 2x2x2 Rubik's Cube with internal bandaging. This makes it very hard to solve. Sweet Dream Cube is essentially the same cube as Nightmare Cube. However, the bandaging has been brought to the outside. This way one can clearly see which moves are blocked and why. Even then, Sweet Dream Cube is a complex puzzle to solve. Fortunately, one can easily take the puzzle apart and put it back together again, as the screws are accessible at the outside.

Watch the YouTube video.

Allthough I think polished would be nicer my sister asked for a non-polished version of this pendant.
I originally designed a ring for her 40th birthday, but the printed testversion quickly showed it wasn't very practical for her.

I converted the ring into a pendant and today I received it from Shapeways.







I'm quiet pleased about it and tomorrow I will bring the gift in the nice Shapeways box to my sister.

I received both my first 3D printed commission and my first WSF models today and couldn't be happier with how they turned out, they feel incredibly strong and durable. These are adjustable speaker mounts that have a 60 degree range. The small slats are mounted on the wall via drywall anchors, the adjustable mounts are screwed onto the speakers and then the speakers slide onto the mounts.
