I asked you this before, but you never answered. I'd love to get that sphericon model printed. I did your tutorial for it in Blender, but I'm not sure it's gonna be able to 3d print. I noticed also you don't have that one in your own store, so is it not printable?

I will eventually add the sphericon shape to the collection on Shapeways. However, I have a few more objects to add to the store first. The Sphericon is tricky for printing, only because it needs to be supported, or rotated at a specific angle to stand up on its own during the printing process. In other words, even with the powder printing process that Shapeways uses, the Sphericon needs to be properly balanced to print successfully. I'll work on it, and have it available soon.

If you have access to your own 3d printer, like a Makerbot Replicator or something, which requires lots of inserts and support structures, then I can't guarantee the success of certain shapes, like the Sphericon pendant, unless you print at a rather large scale. The surface will likely be rough, and it could be difficult to remove all the rafts and supports, without breaking the object.
