Gyro the Cube

More info and purchasing: http://shpws.me/NSt


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 or blow on it and it erupts in erratic and wild behavior.

Available in White, Black, Red, Indigo and Alumide at http://shpws.me/NSt

Will it become smooth over time? I just got mine and it doesnt turn like that.

[virtoxnet]

@zigg80 Yes it should! Loose powder and printing tolerances sometimes cause some friction, but this should wear in quickly if you spin it a few times.

If it does not, please contact Shapeways customer service via email or myself via the shapeways PM system.

[virtoxnet]

@canttalkshit Nope, pure lung work ;-)

[Hookhandful]

@ajsindri2 Only witches don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" Who's the witch, now?

[walter0bz]

looks like the sort of thing that tears a hole in space-time once you spin it up to relativistic speeds

[wenzhiquan]

i just learned about angular momentum today and how gyroscopes work. pretty cool stuff.

@Dankskees I just spontaniously burst into laughter!

[TheSivoo]

How work does it :}
