Gene of time.

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!

Phamora Ceramics!

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

A very exotic vase with a unique near-impossible shape, suitable for use with dry flowers and striking enough to stand alone.
Theoretically it can also hold water in the toroidal bottom part, read practical details below.

Very suitable as a wedding gift to symbolize love and infinity.
The number eight (or sideways infinity) plays an important role in this piece,
both in the number of arms and the cross-section of this model.


Notes:
To improve print quality and after some deliberation with production, this model has been slightly updated on August 24th 2012; The arms have been thickened and the holes enlarged to improve strength and glazing.
Still I recommend not to put a lot of stress on the handles.
Refer to rendered images for the latest version. I will update photo's asap.
The bottom it stands on, is unglazed, which is invisible during normal display.
All clearly visible parts will be fully glazed, but there is a chance some parts on in the inside might not, which may compromise it's ability to hold water.
While production does their absolute best and all recent prints turned out perfectly glazed and hold water, due to the complexities involved, there is no 100% guarantee for to be absolutely watertight.

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.

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.
