I’m very curious to see how my squares & circles ring looks in real life!

but also the weave ring would be very cool!

If only there were a company willing to promote their awesome printing materials and showcase a few designers, too? 😉

I recently started experimenting with incorporating my woven models into ceramic models. Here’s one of my attempts! http://shpws.me/oVg2

I really do think the Ear-Bone demonstrates in an exemplary way the virtues of EP. I struggled but failed to make this model work in WSF.

Hi! I just launched a new jewelry collection in nylon plastics. This project was a co-creation project between designer and a 3d modeler. We’re both excited about the end-result and would love to hear from the community what they think! The collection combines a smooth and textured line. Creating the textured line has taken a while to develop as I wanted as much detail as possible in the dots and holes in every single piece. My personal favorite and the piece I would love to be considered for the Hall of Fame is the textured cuff: http://www.shapeways.com/model/1153643/textured-cuff-size-s.html #HallofFame

Last year the makerfaire display lacked some squee. Fix? Adorability of full color sandstone figurines.

Reading through the instructions and comments on this thread, it’s unclear #HallOfFame where to place the #HallofFame info you mentioned above #HallOfFame.

I’m excited about completing a project and this Chess Knight #HallOfFame was the final piece. I just place an order #HallOfFame for the Knight.

My Entanglement pendant should look great in silver or gold-plated brass, and has an intricate interior:

My Spinning Star Vase and Dish may not be quite as intricate as Vertox’s vase, but I think they do give an idea of some of the possibilities.
