Dodecahedral sibling of Gyro the Cube (L).
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.
It's easiest to start with the inner one and then continue outwards.
And then... rotate away !
Note, Please be careful with the assembly of the Alumide version as this material is less flexible than the others.

Made of five nested dodecahedra, each one is limited to rotate about it's own axis.
This is the 9cm / 3.5" version.
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.
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!

Is it love?
Is it peace?
Is it a hug?
Is it a heart?
Yes!
This solid, organic and elegant pendant tries to capture love and peace in all it's dimensions.
Perfect for Valentines and weddings.
Get it in one of the smooth bright sparkly colored materials.
Or.. go all out with one of the pleasantly solid metal versions!
This is the large pendant, 42 mm/1.75" high.
Best worn on a flexible medium (~3mm) cord or necklace. (Not included.)
At this size, I only recommend one of the Strong and Flexible materials.
The steel versions would weigh in at roughly 45 grams, if you can handle that, be my guest :-)
Video available below, and more photos on flickr.
Also in Small (28 mm/1.1") and Medium (35 mm/1.4")

You can't hold it forever!
Here is the corner stand for the 5cm Gyro the Cube.
Due to printing variations it might be a bit tight fit for some cubes.
I recommend any of the Strong & Flexible
Alumide available on request.

Gyro the Cube (S) with loop.
This size (3.3cm/1.3") is suitable as a pendant, or large key-fob for hotel or closet keys.
As with the original the cubes the hinges need to be put in place after you receive it.
And as this is quite small, it might be a bit fidgety.
I will work on some instructions/tips.
Also available in a version without loop: here
Pocket sized extra small is available too!

Mount this part on a high airflow 80mm PC-fan.
Click your Gyro the Cube in the Center.
Watch it move on its own :-)
Please Note!
Fan and grills not included!
It works best if the first axles on the cube is aligned vertically.
The motion produced by this is not (yet) very interesting.
But after tinkering with this for a very long time, I owe it to the fans to pre-release it.
Thank you for your patience.
Use fan grill on both side of your fan to prevent injuries!
Make sure the Gyro the Cube is mounted tightly before applying power to the fan!
Use ate your own risk!
If you don't know what you are doing, then PLEASE DON'T!
To control motion use a PWM controller for your fan.

Julia Vase 002 Flow
Flow, an easy and relaxed, not too intrusive centerpiece.
This dry flower vase was derived from the Julia Fractal Set.
Instead of high iteration full color imagery as is common, one can also trace a line over the lower iterations.
Then by slowly altering the input values, we are morphing the fractal while traveling the Z-axis.
And beautiful and elegant forms appear.
Circa 12.5 cm high with 1mm thick walls, this is suitable for all Strong & Flexible materials.
I recommend the polished.
Part of the Julia Vase collection.

This is the corner stand for the XL 10cm Gyro the Cube model.
It should have enough clearance to easily place and pick-up the Cube.
This is a solid version and uses quite a lot of material.
I will try to improve the amount of material used, to reduce the price a bit, but this may negatively affect stability.
The stand has been tested on a home printer and this works nicely.
The Shapewqays print should be the same/better, I will be testing that soon.

Inspired by all the I-design, I opted for something a little different:
Meet the Universal Wrist Device, made from U's for you.
Turn any phone into a wrist-mounted device!
Yes, finally a real com-device like the ones pictured in Sci-fi! ;-)
Arbitrary rotation of the device, use your device in portrait or landscape mode.
An Ideal way to keep the phone nearby but your hands free.
Comes in handy during hiking and biking, but also in your work-shop or kitchen.
The model is printed as two parts that click together.
And both are customizable for their own purpose!
Eh, what?
Well, currently shown:
A wrist clip and the holder for my phone; a SE Vivaz.
The phone can easily be turned to landscape or portrait mode.
But the wrist clip could be tailored to your wrist. And the holder to your phone !
So do you have a phone starting with an I or something completely different?
No worries, U can design your own clip :-)
(more info on this later)
But wait, you don't need a wrist clip, but something different?
To clip onto your bicycle, car, cat, wife?
Anything is possible !
(more info on this later)
The current coupling design should easily click into place.
It has enough resistance to stay put, but allows the device to be rotated to an arbitrary position.
But why?
Because I needed something like this :-)

Eno (Grand)
While provocatively curved, she is indeed very shy!
She only allows a glowing glimpse of what she holds inside.
Eno Grand is one of the the largest table models in this series, nearly 26 cm tall.
This unique series of light shades is suitable LED lights,
for example Luxeon/Cree LEDs, but smaller led tea-light also work.
The shade hides the source from direct view, resulting in a gentle light emerging.
