Remnants of a foreign creature perhaps?
This shell only allows a glowing glimpse of what it holds inside.

A marveling light shade for LED tea-lights or Luxeon/Cree LEDs
Hiding the source from direct view, a peaceful light emerges.

Multiple sizes and shapes available.

Larger version of the Eardrops IV - Hopf model.
Redesigned and tested for the Strong & Flexible materials.
Photo's soon.

Corner stand for 6.5 cm Gyro the Dodo

Home-printed ABS prototype was successful and fits well.
Waiting for Strong & flexible sample, but feel free to try and tell me what you think!

Temporarily offline while I tweak it slightly!

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!

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.

These remains tell no tale..
but ever wondered what happens,
when a snake eats its own tail ?
In this tale, the tail is fully gobbled up but still hanging freely.

For the python go here, for the pendant here.

Gyro the Cube (XS) with loop.
Sized at 2.5cm/1" this makes for a fiddly, yet subtle keyfob or pendant.
Or get a pair as earrings!

As with the original the cubes the hinges need to be put in place after you receive it.
And as this is really tiny, this might be a bit fidgety ;-).
I will work on some instructions/tips.

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.

This is the corner stand for the L 7.5cm Gyro the Cube model.

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.
