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 cage part, you will also need the colored earth globe.
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 rude force might break it.
For optimal longevity I recommend to coat the globe in a clear spray paint and glue the cage parts together.

I used my Voxel engine to render some full color Mandelbulbs.
Currently the models are still solid, but already affordable.
Still low-res, as highly detailed fractals are not so compatible with full color sandstone ;-)
Not yet printed, feel free to try!

Morapha
Another in a series of ceramic explorations.

This toroidal bowl might be used for growing herbs in the kitchen,
either standing on it's own or hanging from above.

The whole is 10 cm in diameter and 5cm high.
As with the Phamora, on the bottom it will have a small unglazed ridge.

Photos show actual printed ceramics!

Eno (XL/G)
While provocatively curved, she is indeed very shy!
She only allows a glowing glimpse of what she holds inside.

Eno XL Grand is the largest table models in this series at 37,5 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.

Julia Vase 004 Bloom
A wildly blooming form, an ode to flowers.

Currently on display in the 3DEA popup store at the Eventi hotel.
However, this version is improved and a lot smoother that the first prototype on display.

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.

Julia Vase 004 Yin Yang
Shape and color slowly blended into an exquisite combination.

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.

The finishing touch in the Yin Yang Vase was done by applying a phase coloring pattern inherently present in the formula.

It is 12.5cm high with 2mm thick walls, suitable for full color Sandstone.
Suitable for decorative purposes and dry flowers only.

Phamora Ceramics!

Is inside out? Or is it not? Perhaps both?
This is an Amphora from another space-time.
An ancient object which we knew had to exist.
And after years of excavation in other dimensions we finally found it!

A very exotic vase with a unique near-impossible shape, suitable for use with dry flowers and striking enough to stand alone.
Theoretically it can also hold water in the toroidal bottom part, read practical details below.

Very suitable as a wedding gift to symbolize love and infinity.
The number eight (or sideways infinity) plays an important role in this piece,
both in the number of arms and the cross-section of this model.


Notes:
To improve print quality and after some deliberation with production, this model has been slightly updated on August 24th 2012; The arms have been thickened and the holes enlarged to improve strength and glazing.
Still I recommend not to put a lot of stress on the handles.
Refer to rendered images for the latest version. I will update photo's asap.
The bottom it stands on, is unglazed, which is invisible during normal display.
All clearly visible parts will be fully glazed, but there is a chance some parts on in the inside might not, which may compromise it's ability to hold water.
While production does their absolute best and all recent prints turned out perfectly glazed and hold water, due to the complexities involved, there is no 100% guarantee for to be absolutely watertight.

Julia Vase 001 Coral
I just could not resist, the perfect combination of two totally unrelated functions morphed into, dare I say, perfection.

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.

The finishing touch in the Coral Vase was done by applying a Voronoi pattern across the surface.

Circa 12.5 cm high with 1mm thick walls, this is suitable for all Strong & Flexible materials.
I recommend the polished.

A playful vase or flower pot.
Designed for Glazed Ceramics.
Made from a four generation binary tree,
with a two generation cavity.
This should allow full inside glazing.
It has not been printed yet, but I do not expect much trouble with this one.

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!

Both suitable for standing or suspended from above.

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.

A double quintal candle stand to celebrate the five ceramic colors and two finishes.
Two rings with five arms hold each other tightly.

It really shows off the very smooth quality of the new ceramics!
And yes these are actual photo's not renders!

Notes:
The bottom remains unglazed, in normal use this is not visible and even provides some grip.
Suitable for short (half length) candles with a diameter of about 22mm.
With a full length candle it is likely to topple over and would not visually match.
Please handle with care and do not to let the flame get to low/close to the stand.
I recommend to add a little wax between the candle and the stand so it sits tightly,
and/or wrap the bottom of candle with aluminium foil.

EvD Engineer vs. Designer contest WINNER

Go with the Flow
A bendy, stretchy and playful necklace.

A stranded curve chasing itself,
speeding up and then braking suddenly,
Resulting in collision after collision,
jumping back and ducking forward.
Always ending up where it started,
right next to itself.

Specifications
The necklace is 20mm/0,75" thick.
Ovally pre-shaped 20cm/8" by 28cm/11".
Will stretch enough to fit anyone, and should flex enough to lie comfortably around the neck.*
Delicate looking with a individual strand thickness of only 1.2mm.
But very robust with eight supporting wires at all times.

Material
Any of the strong and flexible materials should be suitable for this design.
