This my first try with strong & flexible plastics. It's a fruit bowl also useful as decorative centerpiece. Base thickness is 3,2 mm and lateral wall thickness is 2 mm. Bowl diameter is about 200 mm. On your opinion (experience) are the thicknesses appropriate?
Thank you very much.

Hello,

It is 4 inches long, I was thinking about stringing it with some twine or fishing line. How does the design look?

Problems with the Co-Creator Template:
It only allows me to make a field for the text.
How do I make 2 more numeric fields for the Ring Sizes?
"You can add a maximum of 20 values" is not available.

Hi Shapies,

This is a reiteration of my Think Outside the Box Ring, and it will be printed shortly in stainless steel

This ring is for all those who like to think, dream, imagine and are absolutely bored with standarization, mondaine life, cubicles, cookie-cutter thinking and so on. This particular one has a 17.30mm diameter, but please feel free to email me for custom sizes. (available in a variety of materials). email:kspaho172@g.rwu.edu

Hi guys. Seeking advice from the more experienced modelers out there, please!
This is my first design which consists of two rings with the inner ring expected to freely rotate. So my questions are:
Will the inner ring be able to rotate?
Is the design printable? (i.e. sufficient gap size?)
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated !
UPDATE:
Just a point of clarification, my questions regarding rotation,
gap, and printability are more directed at the pivot and peg and no the rings themselves.

What generation iPod touch do you own?[ 2 vote(s) ]
1.	1st Gen	0 / 0%
2.	2nd/3rd Gen	1 / 50%
3.	4th Gen	1 / 50%

I am planning to model an iPod touch case but would like to know what the most common iPod touch model is out there, so could all people owning an iPod touch please answer the poll at the top of this page.
Many Thanks

P.S I am planning to convert one of my current iPhone cases to an iPod touch case, would anyone know how to do this without completely starting from scratch, maybe somehow 'moulding' the iphone case the the curved geometry if the ipod touches using some software? Thanks again

Hey guys, what do you make of this?

[Flextest] Pop-up Jewellery Display & Case Bangle


I have no idea if it will work or how well it would work, but I figured it wouldn't hurt if I prototyped it up and entered it

"Designed for the Shapeways 3D Print Flex-Contest, this item comes in two parts - a bangle "case" and a jewellery display. They are printed together but are detachable.

The bangle has an internal diameter of 65mm to fit small wrists like mine, and features a flower shape with four "petals" and a central "style" with "stigma" stopper on the end. The petals have circular loops on the end to squeeze the "stigma" through, holding the flower closed.

The large criss-cross patterned stand or jewellery display is built with hooked earrings in mind, but can potentially also be used to hold cufflinks, and possibly bangles, bracelets and necklaces.

It may not be suitable for heavy jewellery, but has not yet been tested.

The idea is that when not in use, the display can be squished up small enough to fit into the closed flower on the bangle.

For use in the home and also out at craft fairs and car boot sales."
