Featured Friday: showing your 3D printed designs
“I’m so sad it’s Friday. I wish it was Monday already!” Said No one in history ever. Time to enjoy some of this week’s featured printed items.
Gabe sculpted a ‘Genese Character’ in Mudbox and Softimage (both from Autodesk). The statue is about 8 inch tall, printed in polyamide and has an awesome spikey texture.
The Carapace ring from Noah Beasley is an alien ouroboros ring in gold plated polished brass.
Andreas Rittershofer from http://3ddecodetails.com designs great models to detail the roofs of your model railroad structures! Check out the amazing paint job he did on the cooling unit and air conduct in 1:160 (N-scale). Prime gray shows once more why it is an amazing material for all kinds of scale models.
And last but not least, hailing from Australia, we have the CXB sheep wagon from Marbelup Models. Not just the wagon was printed (prime gray), also the sheep load (alumide). Both the wagon and the sheep (90 of them) were painted to add a realistic te

Congratulations. You survived the work week! Let your weekend start properly with our Featured Friday! Check out the latest gallery entries.
Ari Pisilä 3D printed this brooch in brass gold plated and polished:
“I designed this funky fox for my mother in law since she is a big fan of foxes. This piece of art looks great and feels surprisingly heavy because it’s pretty thick. It has an integrated mechanism behind where a normal safety pin can be inserted.”
Raymond McConnell designed a Puma ring in unpolished stainless steel (old silver finish). This gives it a textured surface looking like fur. The USA ring size of 11 1/2 and a UK ring size of Y.
Our last design comes from Steve Koll. It’s a round cufflink with ginkgo leaf imprint on top. He 3D printed it in Titanium. Gorgeous!
Enjoy your weekend!

3D print Love, not War!
Who doesn’t like to buy flowers once in a while for their (girl)friends or family. Well, we certainly do! With the latest -unnecessary- buzz on the 3D printed gun, Belgian startup Twikit wants to spread a positive 3D printed message to the world.
They challenged Dutch designer Michiel Cornelissen to rethink the customization of medals and trophies. He came up with the idea of 3D printed polyamide flowers with a message.
You no longer need a card to go with the flowers. From now on you write your own personal note on the leaves. Twikit offers the flowers in different spring colors: red, green and pink.
What’s even more: these flowers do not welt (for real) and don’t need water (perfect for people who always forgot to water their plants).
So go to Twikit website and start spreading some 3D printed LOVE!

Paul Sibson made a very fancy box for your playing cards! He 3D printed it in natural white polyamide.
Michael Mueller, a designer from Germany, designed a Rose Window Pendant in gold plated brass: “Rose windows are particularly characteristic for gothic architecture. Their origins are much earlier and they have been seen in various forms throughout the medieval period. Their popularity revived, with other medieval features, during the gothic revival of the 19th century.
Rose windows are like mandalas, with its circular form, the quaternity and the movement toward the center, a rose window is mystical in itself.”
