Morapha
Another in a series of ceramic explorations.

This toroidal bowl might be used for growing herbs in the kitchen,
either standing on it's own or hanging from above.

The whole is 10 cm in diameter and 5cm high.
As with the Phamora, on the bottom it will have a small unglazed ridge.

Photos show actual printed ceramics!

A double caged pendant with a few twists!
It contains an ambigram, made from two characters of your choosing.
The outer cage is connected to the ambigram,
which can rotate freely around the inner cage. (See the video!)

The used font is "Deja Vu Sans Mono".
I will do my very best to make each combination into a nice ambigram and make it fit snuggly inside the cage.
Leave a "remark for the designer" if you wish to see the model before I finalize your version.

It is also possible to use any symbol, model, logo you like, contact me with details and I'll make it happen!
I will add more examples over time.

Necklace not included.

4c9o virus [force nano virus]

Inspired by the intricate and beautiful shapes of viruses and bacteria.
Watch HD video above or check out some highres photo's.

Materials
Succesfully printed in White Strong & Flexible.
Dyed strong & flexible could is experimental and available per request.
A polished version is unlikely to survive the process.

History
The original model was created in 2006 for a 3d photo collage.
One of the goals was to create a life-like photograph of non-existent objects.
As, at the time, I was pretty sure this was an impossible to produce object.

Then I discovered shapeways ;-)
So now it was succesfully created in real 3d!

Specifications
It is solid to not compromise the design and the price difference was marginal.
Outer diameter is 8.5cm/3.3 Inch and the tips are 0.7 mm quickly becoming wider.
Which overall makes it quite sturdy.

Please be careful with unpacking though, it may be slightly tangled in the bubble wrap.
Then again, mine already survived a 1 meter/3 foot drop, however, I do not recommend that ;-)
It should be treated as a delicate decorative object, it is NOT a toy!

Is inside out? Or is it not? Perhaps both?
This is an Amphora from another spacetime.
An ancient object which we knew had to exist.
And after years of excavation in other dimensions we finally found it!

A unique and fully functional vase.
Be it, a bit unconventional.
Best with multi-dimensional flowers, if you can find them ;-)
But white roses work well too :-)

Tested the White Strong & Flexible Polished, it seems to hold water very well.

A hanging cup for your double espresso the morning after ;-)
It's in such a state that it cannot stand on it's own, so it really needs some support.
Luckily it has :-)
When you order, you will get the Hangover cup and the matching stand in glazed ceramics.

Printed Ceramics
With the current process, the round bottom on the cup will likely show some minor pits in the glazing from a small tripod it stands on during the baking.
And the bottom of the stand/saucer has rougher structure.
The rest of the glazing is fully covering, so it's safe to drink from.

Also available as a more sober version (standalone)

The cup is designed for a double espresso(60 ml), but can hold a maximum of about 90 ml.

While playing on the math playground, I found this pretty pebble. Suitable as a pendant or bead.

A hollow, organic and elegant form, showing peace and love in multiple dimensions.

A sculpture printed as two seperate but entangled parts which snugly fit together.

The two parts allow you to slide it open, so you can use it to safely store a keepsake.

When closed, it is about 20cm/8" tall.

A base is available seperately.
Please PM for Inquiries.

A large and robust version of the delicate free form "Holey".

Please handle with care, the points are very rigid and might be dangerous if handled irresponsibly.

These remains tell no tale..
but ever wondered what happens,
when a snake eats its own tail ?
In this tale, the tail is fully gobbled up but still hanging freely.

Also available as a pendant.

Accused of being fake, witchcraft and simply impossible..
This kinetic sculpture is inspired by the unlimited freedom of 3d printing,
it wobbles and turns with a slight movement of the hand.
Give it a good spin and it moves in erratic and wild ways.

Corner stand for this model is here: Corner stand for 10cm Gyro the Cube

This is the 10cm / 4" version, see the Gyro the Forms section for other shapes and sizes.

Instructions
It is composed of four concentric cubes, each one spinning around a different axis.
The model needs some minor assembly:
Each inner cube has two knobs which need to be placed into the corresponding clamps in the parent cube. It's easiest to start with the inner most and continue outward.
And then... spin it away !

Notes
Be careful with a cube this size, fingers may get pinched if handeled carelesly.
It is not a toy for children!

Dodecahedral sibling of Gyro the Cube (XL).
Same principle, more faces, more rings and more fun ! :-)
Made of five nested dodecahedra, each one is limited to rotate about it's own axis.

This is the 9cm / 3.5" version.

Please be careful with a gyro this size, fingers may get pinched if put between the (moving) rings, so handle with care!

Instructions

For tighter clearances it is printed with the hinges out of place. So this model needs a little manual assembly. Each element has two "knobs" which need to be "clicked" into the corresponding "clamps" in the parent element.
It's easiest to start with the inner one and then continue outwards.
And then... spin it away !
