A matching pair of earrings, resembling small twigs.
Absolutely stunning in the new Premium Silver!
These are actual photos!

Also wonderful in the other metal finished.
For example, the steel printing process adds an almost natural texture to the twigs.
Which also works very well in bronze or gold finishes!
More earrings

Silver earring hooks included, courtesy of Shapeways!
One twig is approximately 30x19x7mm.

Dodecahedral sibling of Gyro the Cube.
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 6.5cm / 2.5" version, see the Gyro the Forms
Experimental corner stand available here

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... rotate away !

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.
Now give it a good spin or puff of air and it erupts in erratic and wild behavior.

This is the 5cm / 2" version, see the Gyro the Forms section for other shapes and sizes.
Corner stand available separately, or get the complete set below!

NEW!
Now also available as a pendant/keyfob!
In both Extra small and Small

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
Do not be alarmed if your cube will not run smoothly at first!
Because of minor variations as a result of the printing process,
some need to wear in a little but will loosen up very quickly.
In the example video I am blowing on it to make it move, it's that smooth.

Be a little careful with (the assembly of) the Alumide version as this material is slightly less flexible/robust than the Strong & Flexible materials.

Get a complete set.
A default set consists of an Alumide Gyro the Cube and a White stand, you can change the materials in your cart later. 118x87_36851_89894_1338413385.jpg + 118x87_387662_147353_1338413388.jpg

A gyroid bone ring.
Each ring is separately created for the specified size, to create a uniform look across all sizes.
All sizes/models are thoroughly checked before being sent to the printer.

To determine your ring size:
1. Wrap a piece of string or a strip of paper around the thickest part of your finger.
2. Note the point where the string start to overlap.
3. Measure the length of a single winding to get the circumference of your finger.
4. In case of measurement in Inches : Multiply by 25.4 to go to mm.
5. Divide by 3.14 (=Pi) to get your ring diameter in mm.
