New On Shapeways

Fist off, order before midnight tonight (PST) and get $10 store credit! Secondly, sorry for not updating sooner. Some of these have been available since last month and I'm only now getting to them.

Opabinia

Fossil creature from the Cambrian period. Available in Big and Small versions.

Snow Ball Ornament

Round Christmas ornament made of snowflakes joined at their points.

Pirate Robot

Avast! 'Tis a pirate robot! Comes with a working treasure chest! Turns out it's just the right size for pennies. You must supply your own pain and pirate treasure.

Tiny Monsters: Batch 01

I've begun a series of tiny monsters. Batch 01 includes Tentacles Joe (Half octopus, half starfish, half cool dude in shades.), The Sasquash (A rarely seen creature said to inhabit remote forests and sometimes the vegetable patch.), Big Foots (The cutest little Bigfoot I've ever seen.), Violet (A one eyed, one horned, flying purple... Well, it's a monster of some sort. Sure looks strange to me.), and the Book Snail (A freaky snail monster that just wants to read your books.).

Tiny Monsters: Batch 02

Second batch of Tiny Monsters. Includes Grimlet (A wee little, under-grown Grim.), Nessie (The Loch Ness Monster in a jaunty hat.), Iris (Who may not look much like the flower she's named after, but I think we can see why it's appropriate.), Sciclops (Big Sci-Fi fan, but I don't know why he spent the extra money to see the movie in 3d.), and the Cockatrice (Who's part chicken and part serpent.).      

November Fabrics

More new fabrics available from Spoonflower. I was going to break this up into two days rather than posting all 30 at once, but so many of them are essentially the same design but with a different color I decided I might as well do them in one sitting.

Diatoms

Fabric covered in diatoms, a type of algae. They grow intricate shells of silicon around themselves and come in a huge variety of shapes. These little glass houses are among the most beautiful living things you'll ever find in a drop of water. Available in four different versions: Black and White, Neon orange on dark blue, Red, and Porcelain.

Influenza

This is the cause of the infamous Flu. Do you get your vaccine every year? Wear this next time and you might just get an interesting reaction.  Available in four different versions: Black and White, Neon orange on dark blue, Red, and Porcelain.

Crystals

Crystals of different thicknesses and heights growing in a variety of either cool or warm colors.

Maze

Maze designs in a series of long, vertical stripes. Can you find your way to the center? Available in Black and White, Green, Blue, Red, and Orange.

DNA

Behold, the twisty double helix of DNA.    

Roses

 A variety of roses on a rosy pink background.

Succulents - Crassula

I'm not sure what kind of succulent this is, but my research (AKA: Google) suggests it's somewhere in the Crassula genus. But who cares, it's pretty. Available in Side by Side or Staggered patterns.

Leaves

Some kind of leafy ground cover. Don't know what kind.    

Penta Pattern

Geometrical pattern of pentagons and rectangles in shades of Grey, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Red.

Sierpinski Triangle

Sierpinski triangles in Black and White, Warm colors, and Cool colors.

Snowman's Chance

Snowmen screaming in a fiery blaze! Will they be alright? I'd say they've got a snowman's chance in, well, you know.    

Frozen Over

Looks like it's pretty cold somewhere unexpected. What are the odds of that?    

Happy Halloween!

Have a happy Halloween from all of us here at Reaper Media! It's the one day of the year little Bill here fits in, so to celebrate we're gonna share some of my favorite Grim Reaper themed designs!

Winkin' Reaper

The Grim Reaper greets you with a wink and a smile.

Pocket Reaper

Is that a Reaper in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

3D Printed Pocket Reaper

You can also get a Pocket Reaper from Shapeways to slip into your actual pocket! You'll have to paint him yourself, but the effect is great!

Reap Poster

The Grim Reaper poses dramatically above his campaign slogan. This parody of Obama's Hope poster is perfect for those of you who'd rather keep real politicians out of your politics.

Life and Death Poster

What the Stork brings, the Reaper must take away.

Death On A Motorcycle

Death riding on a motorcycle. Made the motorcycle to sell online and I already had a Grim Reaper model . . . so I figured "What the heck?"

Eyebrow Skull

The skull isn't quite sure about you . . . This is the vector version on Spreadshirt, so you can order it in Glow In The Dark! I've got one and I love it! It glows so bright I can walk around at night with the lights out without fear of walking into anything.

3D Printables and Wrapping Paper

Octopus Candle Holder

Octopus holding up a platform to carry a one and a half inch diameter candle. Since it's plastic, you probably shouldn't use a real candle for it. Get one of those electric tea lights.

Homicidal Pacifist Necklace

I don't believe in violence, but lord knows there's some folks out there I'd like to strangle peacefully in their sleep. I've also heard the design described as looking like a "Peace Pirate" if you're looking to express a more peaceful outlook on Talk Like a Pirate Day, this is for you. Available in large and small sizes.

Fossil Layers Gift Wrap

Brightly colored fossils, including trilobites, ammonites, and turritellas. All these gift wraps were already available on Spoonflower, but now they're on Zazzle as well.

Cthulhu Yin-Yang Gift Wrap

A pair of Cthulhu heads attempting to recreate the Yin-Yang symbol. I think they're having a little trouble keeping their tentacles where they belong.

Winged Cthulhu Gift Wrap

Cthulhu Fhtagn! More Lovecraft inspired wrapping paper.

Coleus Gift Wrap

Repeating pattern of coleus (I think) plants.

October Additions

Serene Robot (3D Print)

He's a robot and he's enjoying a moment of serenity. This is my most recently painted addition to a series of emotional robots. I'm adding the older robots (And other robot related designs) once a week to My Robot Designs blog.

Serene Robot (2D)

I also have the same robot character in two dimensions for t-shirts and things on Cafepress, Zazzle, Printfection, and Spreadshirt where I've also got a vector version in case you want to select your own colors.

Fortune Frames

A frame for fortune cookie fortunes! Now when you get one you want to keep you can frame it and put it on your shelf or hang it from your wall. These are sized to fit a two and a quarter by five eighths inch fortune. There's even enough room to slide a thin piece of plastic in front to protect it (I cut mine out of the plastic bag it came in.) but it fits just fine without it. Fortunes come in many different sizes and if you have a specific size you need to fit let me know and I'll upload one for you.

Available in three different styles. The Standing Frame comes with a post on the back so it can stand up on your shelf. You can get just the one or a set of five. The Hanging Frame has a loop on top to hang it from a small nail in your wall. Also available as one or as a set of five. Chain Frames have loops on top and hooks below so you can hang one from another in a chain. One set has four Chain Frames and one Hanging Frame to go on the bottom, or you could buy single Chain Frames to extend it for more fortunes.

Penta Patern Ties

 Geometrical pattern of pentagons and rectangles in shades of blue, green, yellow, red, and grey.

A Snowman's Chance

Snowmen screaming in a fiery blaze! Will they be alright? I'd say they've got a snowman's chance in, well, you know.

Frozen Over

Looks like it's pretty cold somewhere unexpected. What are the odds of that? I came up with this and the last one as opposites but with the same idea behind them. Something very unlikely. Now I'm considering a series of them. Maybe one with flying pigs. Any other suggestions?

Shapeways Sale This Weekend!

Stop by my shop and get all the cool stuff you've been putting off now, while the prices are good! Try some of the more expensive materials like brass, bronze, and silver. 15 bucks off! You can't go wrong with that!

3D Chimera

I received a request for a custom piece from 3DChimera for a 3D printable version of their logo. Here are some photos he sent me of the prints he received from Shapeways. I think they turned out great! No, these aren't available on my store, but I'm always open to requests if you have your own logo or anything else you'd like to see 3D printed.

Mokelumne River Models Update

Remember back in early September I began working on a project with Mokelumne River Models? No? Well, I did. Thanks so much for paying attention. Anyway, Mokelume River Models makes model kits for HO scale train sets. Gael Troughton (who basically is MRM) asked me to model an antique penny scales for an upcoming set and have them printed through Shapeways. He just received the first set of test prints and we're both pretty happy with how they turned out! He even sent me these photos:

At this scale, the print kind of pushes the envelope with regards to detail size. They're less than an inch and a half tall. It may be a little hard to make out the details in these photos, but once he's got them painted up and has added the decals they're going to look even better! I'll be sure to keep posting with the latest info as it develops.
