Shapeways Feed is a Pinterest for 3D Printing Designs
3D printing marketplace and community Shapeways has launched a new website featured called Shapeways Feed. Simply put, it’s a real-time Pinterest for 3D printable designs. Or as Shapeways puts it: “Our newly launched Feed is the best way to discover all the cool stuff people are making!”
Beautiful feature, and very effective at showcasing how many new high-quality designs are being published every day.
I immediately found two designs that I thought were amazing.
This “I miss you!” bracelet has a jigsaw puzzle design with a piece missing, created by badulaques.
And this Nocturnal timepiece is a very old instrument for telling time at night by measuring the stars. While concept is ancient, this design is all original. It is fully functional (all dials move properly) and meant to be worn as a pendant. Created by Whystler.
Great addition Shapeways! Our only request is that you enable 3rd party sites like ours to embed your feed. When will that be possible?

Romantic Boyfriend 3D Prints Wedding Bands, Raises the Bar
Yesterday, we featured a Ponoko community manager who designed a heart-shaped ring in Autodesk 123D. Today, we are showcasing a romantic guy who designed wedding rings for him and his girlfriend and 3D printed them on Shapeways.
I proposed to her [on] a trip of mine up to MIT to see her. When I gave her the present, she had no idea that it had the ring inside, and she started flipping through the book after she told me how much she liked the carving on the front. Then the wooden prototype ring fell out when she got to the back, and I proposed. After that, I showed her the ring I designed for her on Shapeways and she was super excited that I designed it with Blender and that I personalized it.

Well done Alex!
