a fully articulated mini figure that can twist torso and bend knees. Made to be compatible with most brick brands. Please be gentle when connecting parts together especially the knees. If you order it with a coloured material, you may have to remove some of the polyamide powder that will be stuck inside the knees' joints (you can remove it using a toothpick).

This is something made for the 'Shapeways Building Contest' to hopefully win an Xbox 360. It took me a day and a half and it's almost perfectly to scale. I tried to replicate the temple as much as possible in minecraft, but made some edits to make it fit more.

Dice Template
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.

Featured on reddit (http://redd.it/1aakq0), this is the smaller, gold plated key. I ordered the Gold Plated Glossy.

This ballista will easily launch a U.S. Penny across a cubicle farm, but most people use it to play Seej.
Seej is an Open Source tabletop wargame based around 3D printing. Rules and more information are available at www.s33j.net
If you'd like start playing Seej, there's a Seej Starter Set available on Shapeways, too. You'll need some extra bloxen", or possibly a whole lotta bloxen to really make a go of it. You'll want some flags, too. Construction is really simple! Needlenose pliers are recommended, but not strictly necessary.
You'll need two elastic bands to complete this ballista. Tie a single band through the bore on one of the two D-shaped locking keys. Repeat the process with the other locking key.
Feed the end of one band through the rectangular bore on the ballista's left post. Insert the tenons of the locking key into the square mortises on the post to lock the band in place. You'll be tempted to repeat the process with the other side, but don't give in. It will save you precious minutes of frustration.
Unlike the Zheng3 Penny Catapult, these locking keys should be a snug fit. If some settling of the plastic during printing has made the mortises too small, trim the tenons a bit with your blade of choice.
Center the nock on the knot that connects the two rubber bands. Make sure that the penny's cradle is facing forward.
Feed the end of the band that's been locked down through the rectangular bore on the nock. Tie the free end of the band to the second band. Now feed the free end of the second band through the outside of the rectangular bore on the right post and loop it through the second locking key.
The nock has a wee nub on its underside. Slide this nub into the ballista's firing groove; it will improve accuracy.
Load a penny into the nock, pull it back, and fire away. Be safe! Wear eye protection!

What makes this unique is that it requires only four parts to build a 2x2x1 Rubik's style puzzle. No screws, pins, or caps necessary! Assembly requires a little ingenuity, but the Strong & Flexible material allows it to snap together. Don't try to disassemble it!

Set of 8 accessory 'meeple' follower pieces to be used with the game Carcassonne. These are standard-sized meeples.
I just received mine in indigo strong and flexible. I'm really pleased with the result. I can barely see the layers from the SLS process and the colour is great.
