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.

The year is 2013, who needs mass production jewelry ?
Personalized jewelry is here !
Get these fabulous designer earrings with your initials or symbols.

You can also supply your own miniature model, please send a personal message for options and possibilities !
Each pair is digitally handmade and optimized.
The letters are suspended either from the top or the bottom, depending on the chosen characters.
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.

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.

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 !

Note, Please be careful with the assembly of the Alumide version as this material is less flexible than the others.

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!
