Double WTF!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Most of my Shapeways Cufflink orders have arrived! \u00a0Only waiting for a few more designs but these came out so well I thought I’ll share them first. \u00a0For those of us who are curious on the material, these are 3D printed Cufflinks made out of Stainless Steel, impregnated with Bronze then plated with Gold! \u00a0Yup, what a lovely combination of materials. \u00a0Lets take a tour of the other designs, I’m going to warn that there will be shameless plugs to the Shapeways website for you to buy them if you’re interested \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Locomotive Cufflinks<\/a><\/h2>\n

Locomotive Cufflinks! Choo Choo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A custom design of the old style locomotive, wanted these for no other reason than I thought they might look cute. \u00a0The first comment on the cufflink I got was “..the rear wheels should be larger!” – what I get for working in a company that designs and builds trains…<\/p>\n

Lovely detail including an open cabin and a hollow chimney, these demonstrate the fine capabilities of the 3D printing process (though these sure make painting the plastic versions tricky!).<\/p>\n

Propeller Hat Cufflinks<\/a><\/h2>\n

A propeller head (also spelled propellor head , and sometimes shortened to prop head or prophead ) is jargon for someone who is exceptionally, perhaps weirdly bright or knowledgeable, especially in some technical field.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Geeky? \u00a0Check. \u00a0Cute? Check. \u00a0Win. \u00a0Enough said. \u00a0Actually, for something geeky like this – plain Stainless Steel pictured below looks better!<\/p>\n

Multimeter (WTF-meter?) Cufflinks<\/a><\/h2>\n

Multimeter Cufflinks... but they only really measure one thing...<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Created for my friend Adeline who said she wanted something that relates to her work like multimeters and screwdrivers, here is the WTFmeter Cufflink! \u00a0Well I told her it was a Multimeter, but I couldn’t resist adding my favorite acronym onto the read-out…I wonder if she will notice?<\/p>\n

Buy WTF-Meter … I mean Multimeter… Cufflinks here!<\/a><\/p>\n

Lego Compatible Cufflinks<\/a><\/p>\n

Lego Compatible Cufflinks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I struggled for a name when I first uploaded these, I’m still struggling for a name. \u00a0These are almost like lego blocks, but not so I called them block cufflinks. \u00a0The idea came from the fact that buying all these cufflinks were starting to burn a hole in my wallet. \u00a0What if I could print the base cufflink in stainless steel (or gold plated stainless steel) and do painted plastic add-ons later? \u00a0 There was no other standard than using good old Lego\u2122 ‘knobs’. \u00a0These make the design Lego\u2122 compatible meaning I could actually sit a minifig on there…<\/p>\n

The offset interior square plate and the square border makes this quite stylish even without attachments. \u00a0More on attachments later!<\/p>\n

That’s all for now!<\/h2>\n

That’s all folks! Hopefully my next batch of cufflinks and furniture designs come soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
