Hello all.
My first post here but not my first shapeways project. After doing a few stuff and testing lots of materials for prototyping, I just receive a test I've done to check the quality of the FUD and I was blowed away. This thing is just wonderfull, almost no post process as it's pretty damn accurate and super smooth.
So here's the little guy I've print, he's about 10 cm height, all the parts are separate and hollowed. The only little complain is just that there's still some support material in the smaller pieces but it's clearly a technical issue as the parts are small and I guess that the water jet was not able to clean it properly.
It's a small size version of an old Jumbo machinder from the 70's I really liked the design of this guy and I've redo it in 3D and was able to print it.
So just one thing in conclusion, please keep this FUD, it's just what a lot of people have wait for a long time.
Cheers
Mike

The lion rampant was scanned into Wings3d from royalty-free clipart. The shield design was compiled using OpenSCAD and my own heraldic library of OpenSCAD scripts.
I'm really, really pleased with the way this has turned out and will be using it as the basis for a 'print your own heraldic design' co-creator template.

This will be a birthday gift for a good friend of mine - I hope she like it I'll probably paint it white, so it keeps the color and add lacquer to make it a little bit shiny.
It's printed in white strong and flexible - not polished, because I ordered it a few days before polished was anounced.

Hello Shapies,
I haven't posted much on this forum, but as this puzzle turned out so well, I decided I might as well show it here too. So without further ado, here is my newest puzzle:
The Twisted Starminx
Check out the Youtube Video!
More information and pictures can be found on the Twisty Puzzles Forum. I haven't yet figured out how to post the pictures here without them filling the whole page, so go check them out there.
This puzzle will be sold on eBay sometime in the next week or two. I will not be offering it for sale in my Shapeways Shop, but I do have 3 other puzzles for sale there.
Enjoy!

I printed another puzzle created by Frank Worrell, called Baseball Strike 2 http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~uy7t-isn/Puzzle/555/Baseball/Str ike2/
I have no words to describe how good this puzzle is. It looks great in its assembled state, it is challenging, and the disassembly sequence is varied and entertaining.
Assembled, this is how it looks. It is beautifully symmetrical; it somewhat resembles a baseball, hence the name.

It takes 19 moves to take out the first piece. Sometime during the disassembly, none of the pieces is in its starting position. I like that

Here are the six flat pieces plus the frame that encloses them.

The puzzle can also be assembled without the frame. It still holds together, but it takes only 8 moves to take out the first piece, so it's considerably easier. You could call that "Strike 1", I guess, though I don't know if this is the reason why the puzzle is called Strike 2. When starting from the disassembled puzzle, one could attempt to reach this position before tackling the full puzzle.

Mom loves it and brother kept it without getting upset. I have one gold plated glossy, one stainless and I have three more on the way ; gold plated matte, one in WSF without the inner spindles part to put my brother's picture in, and one in foggy glass. I'll show some pictures later after the next get here. these should arrive Sometime in the next 12 days.
This is made to look like a classic sailors wheel with handles that at full size would be easily handled and are meant to help your hands grip and keep firm a captain's, first mate's, or other crew/ sailor's course and heading from veering. (provided a willing soul mans the helm)
Ofcoarse this is a jewelry, pendant, or decoration sized piece. miniature.
Thanks. Pictures to come soon. Thanks a lot!

I have an HD black box camera for my car. The post connecting the camera body to the mount was always a bit janky and wobbled side to side. I of course kept trying to tighten it until I sheared the two dinky feet off the post bottom.

Printed a new one in WSF just needs to be shot with black satin spray paint. I increased the ball diameter by 1.5mm and the post was both toughened up and added surface area in case I wanted to glue it. The tolerances were tight enough it snapped into place with no need for glue!

Keeping up with Apple, not an easy job
PadFoot has been completely redesigned to fit the iPad 2. It's been a lot of test models in the making, but it's working really well now.
Actually, having to redesign PadFoot for iPad 2 allowed me to put into place a few ideas I'd been toying with, and I think it's really improved on the original product.
The inclination angle has increased a bit, making your iPad easier to view and interact with; and by modifying the shape to sort of a wedge - a 'logical' shape for the function it performs - the material volume has decreased, allowing me to lower the price. A white version is now $20, a black one $25 - conveniently priced at the minimum order amount.

My first 3D printed model, "Letterhead" is a sculpture I designed in Wings3d (with a little tweaking in Meshlab), inspired by many games of Lexulous on Facebook with my brother.
I have made a few small changes to the model since printing it, making the neck area less bulky and beefing up the upper arm a little.
It lives in my new shop: here. I printed it in Strong White and Flexible - the details on the brain are very fine so a small wall thickness is advisable.

| Space Filling Polyhedra [message #26370] Fri, 22 April 2011 15:01 UTC |

Hi,
I received time ago two space filling polyhedra, but before showing them, I needed to make some drawings to explain the concept.
So here is the explanation.
You can transform a cube into a dodecahedron by drawing on each squared face a new edge and then pushing it outside the cube.
There is an analogy with a square that you can transform into an octagon by drawing new vertices at mid-edge and then pushing them outside.
Squares can fill the plane and if you tranform one square out of two (checkerboard pattern) you obtain a tiling of the plane made of octagons and another pointy shape (let's call it an anti-octagon).

In the same way, cubes can fill space and applying the cube-to-dodecahedron transformation to one cube out of two you got a couple of space-filling polyhedra: the dodecahedron, of course, and a pointy shape that we can call an anti-dodecahedron.
Let's stop the explanations one second and see the results.
The dodecahedron:

The anti-dodecahedron:

Now, if you consider that you are filling the space only with dodecahedra (the anti-dodecahedra being replaced by void), you will find that dodecahedra can fill space with a ratio of 90.43% (for reference, this ratio is 74.05% for spheres). Not bad isn't it?

You can also check the video.

Here's another model I just received generated with a single mathematical expression using the implicit surfaces filter in MeshLab.
The wall thickness on this model is .75mm, but it looks and feels like it's paper-thin. It's 8 cm (3.1 inches).

This is my first topic here at Shapeways, though I have been a devoted customer for some time here.
I have other puzzles in my shop, but this one is so beautiful and turned out so well I decided it was time to finally post one of my own products. The stickers were of course obtained elsewhere than Shapeways.
It is available for sale in my shop, but because of the triangle limit it must be purchased in three separate files.
You can read more about it and see some more pictures at

Watch a video.

Ankh pendant in stainless steel arrived recently. Small details turned out quite well, I think. The Eye of Horus at the bottom is supposed to have a separation between the eye and eyebrow which is just barely visible here but I expected that since the gap was really narrow.

These are a couple of stainless steel rings I got a few weeks ago. I sanded and polished them with a dremel. I ordered these before the new stainless steel design rules went into effect, now I'm not sure if they would be willing to print the trapezoid ring with such small details.

(Images at end of post.)
I ordered nullnetworks' Skull Ring in WSF for my son (6½ years). I do wish I had something that cool when I was his age! As a physician I have high standards when it comes to body part replicas, and this did not disappoint me. I do not think I could have done it better myself. Price was good too.
Since I have been experimenting with designs of spinning tops, my son is beginning to worship "Beyblade" and I personally find tops cool, I decided to order the Inception movie top replica designed by Roessnakhan, this one in Alumide. Very nice top, spins well and looks good.
I downloaded the 500k faces model Omotondo from Aim@Shape, had to reduce it to 475k faces for Shapeways to accept it, and scaled this scanned wooden sculpture to a much too small size (16 mm) before ordering it in Alumide. It looks nice but the details and the overall impression of the sculpture is lost when it is this small.
I also ordered my own design Second Harmony of the Spheres which turned out to be a less than perfect design. The walls are too thin, it is not stable enough, and I will want more weight in the periphery to make it spin better. Holding it in my hand I also realize it could be smaller and still impressive.

Skull Ring on middle part of my little finger, does not go any further on me and looks sooo much better on Edvard.

Other dice arrived.
In Indigo Strong and Flexible.
These ones are regular D6, but the reading of the numbers is quite unusual. You have to count the tiles to figure out what the number is.
There are two variations.
The D6 - Solid Tiles, that looks like a wall of bricks

The D6 - Framed Tiles, that rather looks loke bars of cage.

Here you can consider you count the holes on the upper side.
There are very big for dice (3x3x3 cm). Perhaps i should do smaller versions (2x2x2 cm). Let me know if you would like to see such smaller versions.
