Tested in stainless steel. The earrings are heavy and the hook is thick, but they are suitable for wearing and are easier to put on than their strong and flexible material version. The hooks on the ones in the photos are slightly polished so they are a bit different from what comes straight from Shapeways.
Please feel free to download and use this model any way you wish.

The Bearina IUD is a political product. It demonstrates the disruptive potential of 3D printed Open Designs to give free and global access to essential products, and circumvent industries (such as the Pharma industry) that aggressively defend their intellectual property to control the price and availability of their products. As an Open Design, the Bearina IUD promotes collaborative development and free sharing of knowledge. Further developed by a networked community or in partnership with a forward looking pharma company, It is always available for experimenting with and improving, and could evolve into a functional IUD.
The Bearina, with its bear head image, is visually friendly, to appeal, so to speak, to younger women. It is a conceptual product, a design fiction, and absolutely should not be used as an IUD. Nevertheless, it is designed according to dimensions, materials and shapes commonly found in IUDs.
You are welcome to download the production file of the Bearina IUD (.stl- Creative commons nc-at-sa 3.0 lisence) from my website (www.ronen-kadushin.com). It is free and ready for 3D printing. But if you prefer, you can also download it, or even order some Bearinas from Shapeways.com. They are only 1.25€ each.
In copper- containing IUDs, metal ions dissolving from the device create a spermicidal action. To do precisely that, a 1€ cent coin (copper covered steel) easily snaps in the plastic 3D printed part. An additional piece of nylon string is tied to the bottom part to complete the assembly of the Bearina IUD.

The Scrappies - A series of originally designed small sculptures in scrap metal-look.
The body parts of the Scrappies are inspired by everything that can be found in a scrapyard: Old bolts and nuts, rusty coils, pipes, parts of ball bearings, tin cans, and more.
The figurines are worked out in minute detail, including "rust holes" and traces of an alleged "welding". The scrap metal look gives the characters their own special, irresistible charm.
Height (with stand): 18 cm
The figurines are created in the 3DP process (three-dimensional printing) from steel and bronze, from an aluminium-polyamide composite or from a gypsum-based, full-colored composite.
Products from this series are available as small, medium and large sized figurines; in white, black, colored, in 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.
This first ship is a test to see if it is feasible to turn my Future Armada line of starships & deckplans Future Armada ships into miniatures. It has a hole in the bottom to fit a standard 1/8th inch stand.
Renderings, deckplans, and interior descriptions of the ship are all available for sale at places like RPGNow. Demo documents and sample art can be found at 0-hr.com.
Note that the model is 5cm long rather than the 4.4 reported by Shapeways. I recommend Black Detail material for this model.
You should receive two earrings if this model is ordered. I have not tested this myself. Let me know if it works correctly! Note that earring hooks ARE included.
Here's all the parts:
