! Important Material Notice ! : Recently some of you have tried to buy this model in WSF, Detail and other materials, but the model got rejected. I am very sorry about this, as this model used to be printable in those materials when I first offered it for buying, but since then the checking software of Shapeways got updated and rejects the model for having thin walls. Currently due to the strict Shapeways software, this model is only Printable in Frosted Ultra Detail material. This is confirmed as I have one on my desk made of Frosted Ultra Detail, with a rotating turbine.
This is a little thingy for your keychain. It is in the shape of a jet engine, a great gift for aircraft fans! The turbine inside is designed to rotate.

Lever kit (#1) for the DJI Phantom Transmitter, including Steering Rod and 4 lever heads (the Wheel, the Scoop, the Spoon & the Shorty).
DJI broke the news at this years NAB, that the stock white DJI Phantom Transmitter, has a hidden channel on the back, that controls the sought after X1 manual tilt control for your gimbal or camera mount. They are releasing a gimbal in June, and with this gimbal, it is said that you will receive a small lever, that you mount into your stock transmitter.
The Shorty lever head, is approximately the same size as the ones DJI used on the transmitters on NAB. A quick search on YouTube for DJI and NAB 2013, show the gimbal and they explain the hidden 7th Channel.
The other two lever heads are upgraded levers, designed to suit different grips on the transmitter, and personal preferences on how to best operate your tilt control.
You need to open the transmitter (very easy) with the four screws on the back. Slip the steering rod inside the top bottom hole (X1). Then you put on the desired lever head, and fix with a 2mm scrw (10-15 mm length). Gently fit the steering rod into the X1 pot, and rotete it to the end point in a counterc clockwise direction. Note which way the cross in center of the pot is angels, for when you mount the lever head, so it will have a position/range that works best for you. When attaching the back lid, postion the lever head in the same position you noted earlier, and scrw together. Note, the pot is made of soft plastic, and can easily be damaged. If you want to reposition your level head, remove the back lid first, then rotate the lever and reattach it. The design of the steering rod, ensures a snug fit when transmitter is screw back together, with downward pressure of the steering rod, so the pot will be safe.
Some drilling might be needed to fit the scrw. I use a 2mm x 12mm scrw. also it can be wise to screw in the scrw on both rod & head individually before assembling, to tap out the holes, making it easier to assemble.
After installing the lever assembly, you can set the gains for the X1 Manual, in the Naza Assistant. Default value is 100%. By lowering this value, the tilt movement is slower, and you get a smoother tilt feel.
You do need a gimbal or camera mount with a tilt axis to achieve this, but I guess you know that.

This is the second and much improved version of my single-piece prybar and nail lifting tool with a range of metric hex drivers (5.5, 6, 7 and 8mm), a bottle opener, a 1/4" hex bit holder and two 1/4" hex driver points.
The centre cut-out will hold and store a standard PH2 or PZ2 25mm long quarter inch hex bit (not included).
Four o-rings are required to complete the assembly (10mm ID, 2.5mm diameter, not included)
This model is designed to be printed in Stainless Steel or one of it's variants.
I've been carrying this prybar around with my keys for a while now and it's functionality is just as i'd hoped with it not having let me down so far.
The prybar can be secured to a keychain or lanyard with a No.2 McGizmo clip or similar 25mm gate clip through the 5.5mm hex hole.
There are some more photos of this object and other examples of my work, both 3D printed and otherwise, on my 'Tofty' facebook page.

Bugaboo Locking Disk Right Side (Non Brake Lever Side) This model is solid for maximum strength when used with plastics. It costs $50 in stainless steel so I had a hollowed out version made for the stainless steel option. I find a lot of Bugaboo's with hollowed plastic disks so I will now offer that option as well. Check out my hollowed out file for a $10 WSF of $12 BSF option

The 4x5x6 Cuboid is the next step up from my 3x4x5. This puzzle was made at the request of Sigurd Wedel. Just like the 3x4x5 this one shapeshifts as 90 degree turns are possible on the 4x6 faces.
In the design I've used a mechanism slightly different from that of my 3x4x5 and slightly more like a V-Cube. The result is a puzzle that rotates very smoothly, even better than the 3x4x5. This puzzle is truly very complex, having more than 40 different mechanical parts.

This is an altered version of the gearbox model available from the ShapwaysMechanical page.
The parts have been perforated in some spots to be slightly more streamlined and also a little cheaper to produce too.
No assembly required, though the middle set of gears must be snapped down into position in order to engage the surrounding gears. I assume this was built into the design to keep larger gaps during the printing process.

DIY kit of Portal 2's iconic Turret. The kit need some assembly and is not in color. I designed it in pieces si it would be much easier to paint. Since it's in pieces it require glue and a pointy tool to clean the compacted powder from the antenna and back leg hole is also suggested. Once assembled it stand about 15 cm tall.

Now V2.5.1!
There was an occasional failure to print, approx 1 out of every 8 were rejected for thin walls. The problem has been fixed.
Do you love your UMX Sbach, but are tired of breaking those flimsy, profile OEM foam Wheel Pants? Upgrade to these scale, virtually indestructable Wheel Pants.
These wheel pants have been designed to work with the OEM, wire landing gear and wheels.
Due to the 3D printing process, some holes will need to be "cleaned out" with a drill bit. Don't worry! The holes are there, there is just some residual material left in the holes from the process of creating these. I recommend using both a 1.25mm & 1.0mm drill bits and a hobby knife.
I am currently only offering these in the White, Strong, Flexible Material and all it's varieties. For more information on this amazing material and process can be found here, www.shapeways.com/materials/white_strong_flexible. Also check out all the other materials that are now possible using 3D printing, www.shapeways.com/materials/.
***Recomended items for the best fit***
1pc. - OEM wire landing gear
2pc. - OEM foam wheels
1.0 & 1.25mm drill bits
Hobby Knife
A length of fishing line (for an extra measure of security)
******I will update soon with a link on the installation process.******

These little bits are the main links in an N64 joystick. They are also the parts that wear out and cause your joystick to go floppy. Why try to find a good controller at some re-sale shop when you can repair it yourself for half the price.

Warning: this is an old but functional version. Check the newer version at:
http://www.shapeways.com/model/146656/universal_ring_dial_2.html
This Universal Equinoctial Ring Dial is a portable and self-orientating sundial. You can see how a similar dial works: http://www.sunwatchmaker.com/instructions.php .
You''ll get in position the meridian ring, the equatorial ring and the central bar. The eyelet must be inserted through the "jasolo fecit" part of the meridian ring. The slider is entered through the slit of the central bar and then it is turned with a little force.
For finishing, dip the model a couple of hours in cold tea (hot or warm tea will deform the model). Later, paint with black ink the marks and once dried, remove the ink with a wet tissue (ink will remain on the marks).

DJI Phantom Landing Gear Kit, includes the Leg Mounts, Compass Mount and 4 Leg Ends.
These mounts fit directly to your Phantom, using the stock screws, and replace your stock landing gear. You provide your own 6mm tubing (preferably carbon fibre or aluminium), cut to the desired length, to give you the height you want, in order to allow for dampening set ups/gimbals/bigger cameras and so on. I have found 5" tube to be an ideal length for my set up, with gimbal and GoPro.
Please note, that the tubing is not included in the listing, they are to show what the assembled kit looks like on the leg extensions. The kit includes 4 Leg Mounts, 1 Compass Mount and 4 Leg Ends.
These are a beefed up version of the previous Leg Mounts I made, and use in the video, showing how I made the set up on my Phantom.
Updated, so tubing can be pushed into the holes (which are slightly cones), and secured with a 3mm fixing screw (not included). The mounts are directional, like your props. see pictures above for reference or check out this video of how I assembled mine http://vimeo.com/simensays/phantom
This is a simple DIY mod that replaces the stock landing gear, allowing you to easily make your Phantom taller, more stable, save weight (depending on how long you want your legs and what type of tubing you use) and a better overall look and stance. Only basic tools are needed. I am setting up a blog on my website, where I will post info, videos etc on other mods I have done to my quad, including how to make the leg extensions. www.simensays.com
Beware to mount your Compass correctly, to maintain optimal flight characteristics on your Phantom. It should be mounted perpendicular to the body, in a vertical position. The included compass Mounts makes this very easy when using these legs. I use velcro on to fasten my compass.

Main gearbox frame for the dual motor contra-rotating F3P power system.
Some of the photos show the frame with the two AP-03 brushless motors and the 3x6x2.5mm ball bearings for the inner shaft installed. However this item is obviously just the 3D printed frame. The motors are attached using 6pcs M1.4 self tapping screws. The bearings are a push fit, but can be secured with glue if desired.
Actual weight of the printed part is 2.47g (black strong and flexible)

This mount allow you to attach a GoPro camera to the skid of a model helicopter. It has been designed for an Align T-Rex 600 Pro, but in general it should fit any skid tube with a diameter of 9mm.
The mount is engineered to allow the use of standard GoPro mounting hardware and accessories. Please keep in mind that since this is a fixed mount if you have vibrations in the heli they will translate into vibrations on the image.
The mount should be able to withstand basic acrobatic manoeuvres, but as you probably understand, I will not take responsibility for any loss...

Moving a turbine without any interfering veins? Only using smooth discs and adhesion with the air? The Tesla Turbine, made by Nikola Tesla, was certainly a marvel in its time. But this is no ordinary Tesla Turbine, but a Perez - Tesla Turbine.
The Tesla Turbine was made to be simple and elegant. Pressurized air entered through the periphery, circled about, and spiraled out of the center exit. And as it did it adhered to the smooth discs inside, pulling them and affecting rotary motion. However, the air, which had been following such a graceful path, would make a hard 90 degree turn when it exited the discs. The Perez - Tesla Turbine, available here, extends Tesla's design by using trumpet shaped discs, instead of Tesla's flat discs. This allows for an even smoother transition of the working fluid throughout the engine.
The axle mount for the turbine contains a fixture so that it can be mounted to a Lego Technic axle. Just blowing into the turbine, will cause this engine to rotate, though pressurized air can be used.
** Extreme caution must be used that this turbine not be driven so hard and fast, that it will disintegrate and pose a danger of flying shards. **

The foldable Landing Gear Kit for the DJI Phantom, with room for larger gimbals, and a modular design with options for mounting FPV Tx, external battery or dual batteries, or any additonal gear required.
Designed to fit any desired length/height carbon fibre leg extensions (not included) to fit any sized gimbal or camera, and other relevant gear. The legs fold up so the Phantom is flat, and the legs also makes for great carrying handles. If using wing nuts, there is no tools needed, making this very easy to do in the field. This makes the Phantom fit perfecty in a lower case, or make more room in an existing hard case container.
You can easily mount FPV gear, external battery, dual batteries in conjunction with the landing gears modular design. Simply use some the same 6mm tube as used for the skids, and insert into the holes on each base mount for adding your additional gear. This way you can eaily mount it, and shift the location of it, and position your Center Of Gravity in the most optimal configuration for your set up.
You provide your own carbon fibre tubing, and cut to desired lengths. The diameter for the tubing is:
12mm OD for leg extensions
6mm OD for skids & compass arm
The weight for the parts included in the kit is only 33 grams.
Parts needed to complete the landing gear:
2x M4 length 35-40mm hexagonal head screw (see this picture: hexagonal-head-screw-28451-3203651.jpg)
2x M4 wing nut (regular lock nut can be used also)
9x M3 screws for fixing legs etc (optional, you can use a drop of superglue also)
A small bit of adhesive velcro tape to secure compass to mount
1 Q-tip for antenna arm
I recommend White Strong & Flexible Polished, also to paint the parts with a light coat of white paint. The parts stays clean much longer this way, but is by no means necessary.
Here are some links to where I have ordered my carbon fibre tubing on eBay: 6mm: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221216654200?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Disclaimer: This is a DIY kit, so some minor adjustments might be needed. I have been testing this kit for a while prior to open for sale, and it works very well.
I will make a video of the assembly, and update it here by tomorrow.
