Bubble Men - A series of originally designed small sculptures in balloon metal-look.
The modeled body parts of the Bubble Men appear to be made from air balloons, frozen into solid steel, aluminium or white ceramics. The figurines are worked out in minute detail, the "balloon" appearance gives the characters their own special, irresistible charm.
Height (with stand): 13 cm
The figurines are created in the 3DP process (three-dimensional printing) from steel and bronze, from an aluminium-polyamide composite or from white, glazed ceramics.
(white ceramics not available at this time)
Products from this series are available as small, medium and large sized figurines; in white, black, colored, in aluminium composite, steel, bronze and gold.
The figurines, while still produced by Shapeways, are not available directly through Shapeways, but you can still get one! To locate the nearest store for you, to order one or to enquire about wholesale possibilities, please send an e-mail to info@trompe.nl.

These earrings are sized for 18 gauge piercings. They should fit most people with pierced ears, but if you need a smaller gauge, check out the fishhook version in my shop.
If you need a larger gauge, just ask and I can resize them for you. I will continue to add other sizes as I make them.
Disclaimer on the images: any photos labeled "polished" are stainless steel that has been hand polished with a dremel. The stainless that you order will have more of a texture to it. I haven't yet made these for myself in bronze glossy, gold plated glossy, or either types of silver, but if you want the highly polished look your best bet is going to be silver glossy.
Don't forget to mirror your image!

By request of @TheFrogBlog on twitter, here's a model of Bacteriophage T4 which is somewhat-accurate. Source files are on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16496
T4 is a lytic phage which has been studied for years; a bacteria-virus that can infect and destroy E.coli cells within 30 minutes. Here's an excellent animation of T4 infecting an E.coli cell: http://www.seyet.com/bacteriophage-t4

size 6
These are the 5 platonic solids to be used as dice template.
You can download them freely and modify them.
If you want to order this set of platonic solids as they are, there is no markup: you just pay for the material (as usual, shipping is free for any order of $25 or more).
In order to reduce the cost, they are hollow, with a tunnel joining the internal shell to the external shell. This tunnel is meant to prevent the automatic repair tool of Shapeways from removing the internal shell. But it is small enough to be invisible and to keep the support material inside.
The thickness of the models is 1.5 mm which is thick enough for Strong and Flexible materials, Details materials and Alumide.
A Youtube tutorial on how to hollow a die is also available.
