| First model: tennis ball puzzle [message #42979] Sat, 28 January 2012 16:43 UTC |

My first design and first order arrived this week. It is intended as a specialized birthday present packaging, to contain a gift certificate for a friend who is keen on visiting the Australian Opens. Therefore it has the shape of a tennis ball. It is also a little puzzle as it does not fall apart when trying to lift the top half of the ball. But if you turn it around (after all, he wants to travel to "down under") the then bottom (i.e. original top) half falls off easily, thus releasing the packaged gift certificate.
The trick is done by a little cylinder interlocked with the bottom part, which can move like a screw up and down a bit by its own weight, thus opening or closing a "lock" for the other part.
The print is extremely accurate. It seems there is one line on one of the shells where it suffers from a very tiny displacement (visible under extreme shallow light), but otherwise it looks just as on screen 
There are a few problems "by design" (i.e by me):
1) In its "rest" state the top half falls down too far; apparently I forgot to add something stopping that. So it looks like the ball has lost "air". I hope I can make it look better by suitably folding the gift certificate.
2) One has to shake the thing a bit in order for the lock to unlock; this is obviously due to the (expected) friction and I'm not yet sure whether to count it as a bug or feature 
3) I wish there were less tolerance. The parts can move somewhat freely about because of the required 0.7 mm gaps between parts. I submitted the seperable half separate so that a few gaps could be cut down to 0mm, but I wish the moving cylinder could be tighter. 
The material shows its remarkable properties: It is white, it is strong and it is flexible.
The strongness is so impressive that I apparently could have been much more courageous when hollowing out the central axis parts.
The flexibility (esp. of the three "antennae" get inserted into the "lock") is so impressive that I should have used a different approach (thus solving the gap/tolerance problem) by producing three separate parts and using a one-time "click" mechanism to interlock the two parts to be interlocked.
The whiteness is also impressive, but this thing really sucks in dirt. I better keep it in its delivery bag until its time has come.
Admittedly, the price of such a print is somewhat high if it is in fact just the equivalent of a one-time gift-wrap - but it was fun making it 

The pictures are not very good - I tried to improve detail by underexposing, but tehy are also badly focused (also due to bad lighting).

They're not technically the right scale but they are still pretty awesome to look at.

I received two copies of my Moiré Sphere model today from Shapeways, one in WSF and one in Indigo Strong and Flexible. It is one sphere nested within another. The inner sphere is weighted and rotates freely as the outer sphere is tilted. The interaction between the two creates some interesting interference patterns.



I also posted a video of the Moiré Sphere being handled at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf0uOCSfk8I

This actually cost less to print with Shapeways than if I had it done at the pet store. I think it's much nicer than the flat aluminum ones from the pet store machine too. This came out better than I was expecting but it is thin in a few spots. Perhaps too thin for dog use, time will tell. Some day I would like to get this one in stainless.
thanks for looking
feedback is always welcome

Hey fellas!
I forgot to post these up when they arrived, a ring and a pendant with winged-skull theme, inspired by Warhammer 40K.
Both are printed in unpolished StainlessSteel material, and are slightly polished by me. Also I got a bit carried away and painted the ring with some gold enamel model paint It rubbs off though.
The ring is huge, my desing error, so it falls off of even my stubby fingers, but it can be resized easily as well. You may find them on page 3 in my shop Here !

I received a print of this 10cm locomotive modified with guns, intended as the first piece of a board game design
The design was made by B1lancer, I must say I like it very much - even without the cannons a train modelist could appreciate it !
Design can be printed from my shop

Hi guys,
Here are 2 pictures of a customer who has finished this 1:160 scale train.
It's a train which used to drive from The Netherlands to Belgium.
He only used the head of the train, the rest was an already build model (by minitrix)

Thanks to everybody's support in the Sad Keanu figuirine.
I got feedback that the price was too high. I'm not rolling in dough either so I can sympathize. Well, fear no more! A littler Sad Keanu and much littler the price!

$19.99, at about 2.4 inches high (6.7 cm high)!
Littler Keanu. Still Sad.

Silver ring based on "Fact" corrupt personality core from Portal 2.
http://www.shapeways.com/model/342527/_fact__core_portal_2_r ing.html?gid=ug

A few moments of hand painting added the purple ring and the black in the nooks.

All the detail came out in this material. My favorite ring and material by far. I would recommenced silver to anyone making jewelry here, definitely worth the price increase.

My second order. Here's a summary of the stuff:

————
These are a part of a bigger project, but I ordered just the face to test FD. The other one is WSF. FD didn't blow me away, probably because the translucency makes the surface details harder to see... Both are ~2.5 cm (1 inch) high. This is not yet for sale, unless someone for some reason wants it.


————
Glenda is the mascot character of the Plan 9 operating system. I don't even use it, but a) the idea of 'unix done right' and b) Glenda herself as a character appeal to me, so...
1 mm shell of WSF is surprisingly sturdy. This (as are the others) is modeled in Blender, which nowadays has the shapewayswise hugely convenient solidify modifier (known as shell in Max, if I recall). Try it if you haven't. (shop)

————
My first order consisted of nothing but Hilbert cubes, so here's one in this too. Unlike the other ones, this is 'pure', an open ended curve (as opposed to a loop). (shop)

I also got some earrings, but I'll post them after I get access to a suitable ear to model them with... The order also contained a ceramics item, but it hasn't arrived yet because they are reprinting it. (Yay for customer service, they actually sent me a picture of the deficient print and asked what to do .)

Hi Shapeways fans,
Candy Wrapper is a six-piece burr with spiral parts. The six pieces intersect each other at two placed at a 90-degrees angle. Because of the looks of the puzzle, George Miller coined it "Candy Wrapper". The seventh part is a little ball, which is the candy that is hidden in the wrapper.
Watch the YouTube video.
Buy the puzzle at my Shapeways Shop.

Enjoy!

The set of 8 purple Carcassonne playing pieces "meeples" with love hearts I ordered for my girlfriend just arrived. She's thrilled with them and I'm very pleased at how they turned out.
The 3D model is open-source on Thingiverse. And I've made them available on Shapeways (for free).
