Show your collection!

@gumball those dice are out of this world man!

None are my design. Most are Made by Wombat .

Ugly 20sider


Mecha Ring size 15ish

I don't see mine on there lol I'm gonna have to make some more.

Sorry, yours is sitting in a homemade patina-ing solution that a friend sent the me the recipe for. So far 72 hours and no reaction. I'm calling it a bust.

Hi all,

I love this topic, this is very interesting to have an overview in pictures of what people are doing with Shapeways.
So here is my own collection:

Click to view a higher resolution of this picture.

So let's play a game:
In this pictures there are:
- 20 White Strong Flexible objects
- 3 Dyed Strong and Flexible
- 2 Alumide objects
- 3 Transparent Detail objects (the cubosphere is my very first printed design)
- 15 Color Sandstone objects (dices and spheres)
- 4 Stainless Steel objects
- 1 Gold Plated object.
- 5 regular marbles and 1 plastic necklace
Did I missed anything?

Most of them are available in my shop.

Excellent! I love the way much of your work connects magic, mathematics, chance, and surprise, using topology and shape to give the viewer a moment of "oh!"

Thanks for the kind words Dadrummond. I really appreciate.
I have an engineering background, and I guess that this can be seen through my creations
Most of my work is geometrical because this is the easiest thing for me to model: I must say that I am quite jealous of your organic designs! Keep on the good work!
On my side, I confess that I chose the Magic pseudo because initially my goal was to design the "Void Cube" that I saw hand-made on Internet ("Magic" stand for "Magic Cube"). I figured out how to do it, unfortunately, it was mass producted before I finished my own design (and so I bought one). Then, I saw what very talented community members are doing here with "Rubik's Cube-like" designs, and I decided to do.. something else
Along with my scoubidou I received my first prototype of a mechanical thingamajig. I hope I will be able to show it soon (one or two more prototypes, I guess)...

(sorry for this long message, that was perhaps not the best place to post it)

Hey Gibell!

Nice collection. What are those clear ones to the left of the picture made of?

-Whystler

I just thought I'd like to showcase my extensive Bathsheba collection:

On the top row:
Vorodo (Alumede) and Mobius Net (Strong & Flex Limestone Look)

Middle Row left to center:
Alt+Ctrl+Whelk, gold-dipped Gyroid (for some reason no longer available), Bioform, and Klien Bottle Opener from Bathsheba's website (this version really opens bottles :twisted: )

Middle row, right:
Starting with Nexus (large), and continuing counter clockwise, Metatrino, Metatron, Ora, Quintron, Quintrino (many of these are available only from Bathsheba's website)

Bottom row, Ceramic Wombat's dice set, gold-plated (D4, D6, D8, D10, D20, D12) and Stainless steel D12, Mutatron's C60 Buckyball M (gold plated)

EDIT: I can't seem to find them atm, but I also got Whistler's Stone Circle, Three Towers, and Armillary rings, as well as Mutatron's THC pendant, all in gold.

In addition to being an avid art appreciator, I am also a twistypuzzles fan:

Shim's MAster Pyraminx, Oskar's Big Boulder, and TomZ's Easy Cuboid (1x2x3)

Gibell -- Holy cow! You've been busy. The generational upgrades to the metal tetrahedron puzzle really stand out. And look at all the color -- how much of that is yours vs. SW dyes?

And stardust4ever -- holy budget! It's wonderful to see so many of Bathsheba's pieces in metal. (She handed me a metal Ctrl-Alt-Whelk here in Cambridge a few months ago and I had to wipe off the drool.) Bioform looks amazing. Thank you for sharing what many of us can only dream about.

Ah ... those are actually two Tetra Tops I tossed in there to see if anyone was paying attention. They are not 3D printed objects, I think they're made from glued lucite balls or something. But everything else is 3D printed!

I dye all my own puzzles usually. I don't think there are any Shapeways dyed pieces in my photo.

The piece in the upper right is actually about 5 years old. I won it at a raffle at a math conference. It was the first 3D printed piece I ever owned. It was made by Wolfram, Inc, designed in Mathematica.

Only a small subset:

Whystler's collection is talesfull with this haze on this woody background! Amazing!

Hi,
I think I can add quite a bit to the
already huge diversity here


Here's the stuff I've got so far
except my two biggest prints
* a big 30cm long handle which I've mountend and
* my bearing testpart that I've given away

All things you see here are programmed only.
No a single line was drawn by hand.


Original for more natural colors:


Tonemapped for better visibility of details:



Here are the Metal prints only:

Hey Tom,
you got me curious about the 'censored' cube now?????

Thanks
I didn't collect them all at once, LOL! The Nexus and the minis were purchased in 2007, and are engraved with her signature. Klien Bottle is from 2009.

When I first saw Alt+Ctrl+Whelk and Bioform on Shapeways, I imagined how stunning they would look in porcelain. Now, several months after I get them printed, Shapeways actually begins to offer high gloss glass. Someday, perhaps...

Any shapers out there with a beauty case? Well, Stanley offers nice and affordable cases to store your shapes and carry them over to your friends and family.
