I'm pretty new to 3D printing. I'm quite happy with how this print turned out.

Thought I'd share some pics here. Any feedback is welcome!

Hi,

here is a test print in FD of a pendant based on the heraldic symbol of Luxembourg, Roude Leiw Detailed pendant circle frame.

I hope to print it in silver when I have sorted out some minor details.

Hi Shapeways fans,

Cheese Block is a 14-segment version of the 3-layer 6-segment Cheese Cake puzzle and the 10-segment Prisminx Crystal by Gregoire Pfennig. The mechanism is a straightforward 3-shells mechanism, as explained by Jared McComb at the Twisty Puzzles Forum, augmented by top- and bottom-layer sliders.

Hi there,

This is not a new model at all, but this is the first time I order it.

Here are 5 Repulsive Force Polyhedra.

These polyhedra are constructed by putting a certain number of points on a sphere allowing them to move along its surface so that by repulsing each other they reach a balanced position. Then I replaced each point by a plane (that is: I took the dual polyhedron) to obtain those polyhedra.

Check this page or this page (by Alea Kybos) to generate them.
This is the basis for most of my Truncated Sphere Dice.

Here I used 8, 9, 10, 17, and 32 points and the result is the basis for Alt D8, 4-fold D10, D9, D17 and D32.

I am very happy to finally have them in my hands. Don't miss the video.

It arrived!

It's so nice to see that it arrived without any problems in printing process.
I'm very happy to see that the model has nice details. I can see the swords and also the numbers.

Hi Shapeways fans,

Polo Glider is a design by Alex Polonsky. It combines a 1x2x2 core with moves similar to Alex Black Hole. One can also see it as a handicapped 2x2x2 cube with one piece missing, and allowing only half turns over two of its three axes. The puzzle should not be too hard to solve. One of the seven sliding cubies is attached to the core, but it slides as smoothly as the other six cubies.

I've made this scale 1:5000 pendant of the Berlin Fernsehturm (television tower) back in October as an experiment to see how thin wires would hold, but also as a little present for my girlfriend who originally is from Berlin. I've had it printed 3 times and with all of the models the top part was quite warped. This was the only one where I've managed to bend it back to a straight (ish) antenna. So I wouldn't recommend making long wires this thin (0,8 mm) But than again, you're not even allowed to anymore

Sorry for the bad quality of the images by the way, it was dark...

Hi Shapeways fans,

Sixth Sense Huge is a huge version of the Sixth Sense puzzle ring, meant as big demo model. This six-part puzzle ring is a design by Bram Cohen, and developed by Oskar van Deventer. It is a "size 190", with an inner diameter of 60 mm and an outer diameter of nearly 90 mm. A solution was worked out by Daniel Danzi and D=D=, two puzzle-ring enthusiasts from Virginia, USA.

It arrived last week, but I wanted to wait for the little photo studio setup thing I ordered (one of those cheap tents) to arrive.



I remember a certain movie from way back when where the main character had to eat a monkey's brains out of it's skull... So this is my take on it... in a sort of harmless way.

Find it here: http://shpws.me/mskW

p.s. not quite sure about the photos...could be better... way hard to make a pretty boiled egg! Not just the boiling time... but also cutting it open... it took 4 eggs to get these.

Hi Shapeways fans,

Spherigears combines the ideas of the Sphere Gear puzzle (a mechanical maze puzzle by Oskar) and Bramboules. The combination was suggested by Bram Cohen. Spherigears has four spherical gears that each rotate with three degrees of freedom. The cage can be folded open in two ways, such that the spherical gears mesh in pairs, either AB-CD or AD-BC. After scrambling, the object of the puzzle is to get all spheres back to their original orientation.

I'm such a horrible painter and FUD is so difficult to take photos of in it's raw state that I very rarely post anything here, but here goes:

My model http://shpws.me/lmzC is of a railroad snowplow.

Here's the model in FUD after cleaning it in Bestine (heptane).
This step leaves a very nice white finish, as good as if you had primered the model.


Here's the (almost) finished model: I've yet to put glass in the windows. Yes, that's a penny.. these models of mine are SMALL.

First some logo plates for my tabletop army:

The first test in White Detail and FUD.


In White Detail are missing some details. I know that, before printing, I just wanted to check the material, and how much detail is possible.

In FUD you see that there is a Problem with the Surface. After searching in the forum, I fond the Problem: The Plates are wrong oriented. They standing on the side.

I rotated the model, so that the laying on its back fixed the Problem:



Second: my Saurian/Dragon Skin Modeling Tool:

Here's an example of making a blue and white model using the Strong and Flexible material. I haven't seen the old dyed SF material so I can't compare it with the current colours, but I'm pretty impressed with the finish.

I wanted the two separate pieces to clip together, but this model is too long (at 15cm it's right on the limit for the polisher). The ends both fitted nicely, just not at the same time!

Hi Twisty Puzzles fans,

Khaled's Time Machine was suggested by Khaled Habbab. His idea combines Polo Gear Cube (conceived by Alex Polonsky) and Time Machine (by Li Chung Man).

The creation of the two prototypes was sponsored by Khaled. This first prototype was a miserable failure. The 2x2x2 turning was fine, but the gearing was completely jammed. The second prototypes had two improvements. First of all, the numbered pieces are now well confined in a rails mechanism. Secondly, the numbered pieces are centered around a circle, as was suggested by Khaled. The result is a puzzle that turns much better than Khaled and I could have dreamed.

Watch the YouTube video of the failed first prototype.

Hi,

Arrived and combined!
I was thinking to combine the BS&F and RS&F with metal and I thought that was nice to use a big bronze plated chain in combination with the red and and black materials that I love.

This is the first test, I think they are very nice, they looks glamour and all the connected parts are working good, the necklace's closure on the back is also working fine. I made also one version inspired by my COUPE DE COEUR collection, but the final necklace pendant it seems to be too fragile and I have to work again on it.

Earrings and necklaces looks gorgeous, I've tested them yesterday during a fashion show and are perfect if worn with a casual or an elegant outfit.

Hoping you like it, opinions are welcome.

Items are not for sale.

Hi Shapeways fans,

Cube Bouchon is a stop&go puzzle. Opposite pair of faces are connected by gears, such that sometimes one face is blocked, sometimes the other, and sometimes they gear together. The gearing ratios are 2:0, 1-1, 0-2, and 1-1. The inner mechanism is demonstrated here.

Bouchon Demo is a gear demonstration, demonstration the internals of Cube Bouchon. The yellow gear is alternately driven by the red and the green gear. When the red or green gear does not move, it is blocked by the yellow one. Between each alternation, there is a phase where all three gears move simultaneously.
