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.
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.

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.

Personalized jewelry is here !

You can also supply your own miniature model, please send a personal message for options and possibilities !
Each pair is digitally handmade and optimized.

If you have a preference for bottom or top stilt, please add a remark, which one you'd prefer.

People seem to have strong preference regarding the top part of the model: You can choose for a version with a small hole in the top (example mounting type: hole), through which a ring and hook will be attached
Or a version where the ring is already part of the model itself and only the hook is attached. (example mounting type: ring)

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.

This is the 7.5cm / 3" 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 !

Corner stand for this 7.5cm model here.

Notes
Be careful with a cube this size, fingers may get pinched if handled carelesly.
It is not a toy for children!
Also please be careful with (the assembly of) the Alumide version as this material is less flexible/robust than the Strong & Flexible materials.
