After World Peace I and World Peace II got rejected,
it was silent for a long time.
But the world could wait no longer, so it was high time for World Peace III

Please watch the video for details and instructions.

A combinatory 3D print consisting of a two-part cage design with a peace logo and a color sandstone printed globe.
This is the brightly colored earth globe for use in the Peace cage.
Get a complete set below.

It's a bit tricky to fit together, but please just be gentle :-)
The nylon cage material is quite flexible as you can see in the video,
but brute force may break it.
For optimal longevity I recommend to coat the globe in a clear spray paint and glue the cage parts together.

A gyroid bone ring.

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.

Who doesn't want world peace ?
At $15.00 it's a bargain !

It does have a realistic hole in the ozone layer above the South Pole, to let the support material out. And although it hollows the object, it does not undermine the philosophy !
In actuality the inside is also textured, leaving room for plenty of thought.
