Gibson Les Paul lovers show off your pride with this guitar ring.
I designed this ring to look like the head and neck of a Gibson Les Paul guitar. This is one of my favorite ring designs and I plan on creating a ring style for each guitar manufacturer.
I personalized this one for myself to see how it looked and I'm impressed.

I just got these yesterday... I made a leaf skeleton (well, skull) in Maya.
Simple but efficient technique:
1) Make CV curves point by point for each vein from the top view (you'll have a LOT of curves, separate them in groups by "vein width" according to your reference.
2) Select all curves that should be of the same thickness
3) Use Paint Effects>Curve Utilities>Attach Brush to Curve
4) Modify>Convert>Paint Effects to Polygons
5) Mesh>Fill Hole
And there you have it! All your curves are now solid polygon pipes. To change the paint effects brush size and subdivisions, use Paint Effects>Template Brush Settings
I'll use this technique more now for complex filigree-type designs, it's very easy to make curves and them make them all polygons at once.

Hello ShapeWays World.
I just thought I would share the newest creation to The Verse shop, here on ShapeWays. Since no one @The Verse is a 3D modeler, We had to hire out for modelers over the last few yrs. Some are way good. And then you find one that can take a few pictures and turn them into the most fantasic thing ever to hold.
We hired such a 3D Modeler, Please if you will, meet @AndreiBuletin, Andrei took our pictures and created our newest model for The Verse. From the TV show of the 1970s, he created for us the Space 1999 ship SWIFT. I tried painting up a pair, But I ain't too good at it. PLUS It's super tiny, 28.7mm long. THAT'S IT!! I SWEAR!!
Well today our first test prints arrived from ShapeWays. And I am telling you they are fantastic. So much so, I thought I would put them out there for ALL to see. If you like what you see. Come check out the other creations in our shop. Including the Space 1999 Eagles. All 4 different designs. IN 1/1000 SCALE!!
Thank You ShapeWays for the skills and machines you used to help my dream come true. CAUSE I'M HOLDING IT RIGHT NOW!! LOL

Ordered on the 10th and arrived the 25th, spectacularly quick work there! Delivery was also a lot quicker than I expected, sent on Friday and arrived on Monday (I'm in the UK).
I'm very happy with how these have turned out.
Thanks!

I needed a weekly pillbox, but all the models I found were very big. I decided to try to model my own one, to put into a metal box.

I created this for a co-worker of mine, who wanted a super-villain version of himself (hence, no hair). We had a fair amount of correspondence while I designed. He was particularly excited the day I showed him the render with electricity arcing down the sword. The print turned out well (a tad over 2.4 inches tall). I am sorry that I forgot to give the coat a bit more wrinkles and definition, though.

"Why could they not see that this was the only way? They had brought this on themselves. He averted his gaze as the harsh glow and grim hum swelled in the place that would have been his hand. A moment later, the kickback shoved him backwards in the dirt, knocking a few tears off his glistening cheeks."

Hi!
Finally got to upload some pictures of "V-Mark" - a bookmark with Voronoi texture:
- Voronoi structure
- Free floating ball in top structure
- Very flexible and robust
- Thin base to fit in any book
- Nice grip top

What do you think?
Cheers!

Hi Shapeways fans,
Switched Maze is a mechanical maze. The object is to roll the metal ball from "Start" to "Goal". The ball is impeded by gates at several points in the maze. By rolling the ball against the levers, gates can be opened and closed.
This maze is related to Robert Abbott's Sliding Door Maze and Eldon Vaughn's Amaze. The rules of Abbott's puzzle is electronically enforced by the software implementation. The rules of Vaughn's maze is psychologically enforced by the game rule that says not to lift the stylus from the board. The switched Maze is fully mechanically enforced. That is, you cannot cheat without taking the puzzle apart or removing the transparent cover.
Switched Maze implements logical one-way gates, logical crossings and a Chinese-Rings type of passing point. Most likely, one could build a Turing Machine using the Switched Maze concept.
Watch the YouTube video.
Buy the puzzle at my Shapeways Shop.

Enjoy!

When you find that special person, you want to be together forever. How better to symbolize that than a cute little 2 headed sea turtle. These guys are literally together forever, and as cute as your love.

Another successful design by JEEVI. I received my test prints yesterday for the Victorian Railways narrow gauge NM cattle van in 16mm scale (1:19).
These are big models ( 400 x 100 x 120) and the printing is excellent. I thought this would be really tough for Shapeways to print but it went off without a hitch.
This model is an excellent companion to the VR NU van also designed by JEEVI and is designed to fit JEEVI's 25 'underframe.
Well done JEEVI and Shapeways!
Hopefully there is more to come in the way of NQ, NH, NT and NBB wagons

I received my 16mm scale (1:19) Puffing Billy underframes by GVROCKSNOW today. These are the Version 2 with the 1mm section thickness. They are 400 mm long and 100mm wide and they are superb! All the detail printed beautifully. The truss rods and piping are delicate, but that said they are close to scale thickness which I like. The actual frame is very strong due to the interconnected channel construction, despite the minimum section thickness and light weight. They were well packed by Shapeways (a huge box with gallons of foam) and all arrived in as printed condition.
All eight are excellent reproductions. There is no way any other cottage production method short of styrene injection moulding could achieve this level of detail and the C channels could be tricky even for this. I was going to polyurethane cast from a master I made (without the C channels), but my efforts can't match these models.
Accucraft AP11-738 knuckle couplers fit the frame openings for the couplers well and the Cambrian models Fox bogies also work well with them.
They are expensive though. It would be great if the cost per underframe could be brought under the $100 mark.
More Shapeways VR narrow gauge wagon bodies to fit these underframes in 16mm scale would be great of course. Otherwise I shall have to start building bodies for them for which they will provide an incredibly detailed platform.

A large package arrived safely in Australia via Holland.
AOK.
Nice 3D prints of the Oz Bushmaster ans ASLAV - very well done in HO and N Scale..
Very well packed.
Previous difficultie in overpacking and compression of fragile models appears to have been overcome.
Good use of air filled bubble wrap and thick wads of Poly fibre are very effectve.
However, there still exists the tendancy to stuff small items in zip lock bags barely large enough for some items.
I realise that the zip lock bags are used to keep all the bits together but pushing the model into too small a bag makes removing the item difficult and breaks things off.
Keep on improving!

I was thinking of phones and tablets while chewing on a Lego figure as you do. This led me to creating hands for Lego figures that can hold stuff properly. Not only phone and tablets but books, newspapers and cards that you can print yourself.
There are two designs both have the opening turning in. One design is the same dimensions as the existing hands but turned and the other has closed hands with a 0.25mm gap. Because they are printed in white and black flexible you can put anything in with a thickness of 0.25 to 1.50mm as you can see in the picture with the penny.
I'm not sure how many I should put on a sprue so please let me know how many you would like and I'll see what I can do?
They can be ordered here
