A Short History of a Digital Object : The 3D Printed Gyro the Cube by Virtox Following is a reposting of an interesting post by Virtox aka Stijn on the history of a digital object, Gyro the Cube… Fascinating to see the evolutions of a very cool design. A little over three years and leading a life of its own. After the first trials in early 2009, with the final model published in March of that year, it spiked some interest among peers, which was pretty cool! Posting it on YouTube and showing it on a few fairs and trade shows, resulted in a wide variety of unexpected (and sometimes hilarious) responses: My new favorite desktoyThat’s fake, that’s a time-lapse video!Is that a real perpetual motion machine? It took a while to break out of the 3d printing niche, but it slowly kept gaining in interest and to this day I see it pop up all over. But, I would never have guessed that it would be as inspiring and popular as it has been the last few years! Which (can’t help it) just makes me really proud of my little Gyro the Cube, they grow up so fast don’t they? It appears on blogs and blurbs by people who are happy to have bought or gotten it as present, which is very rewarding!    ”While smaller than I thought, it works exactly like it does in the video. Its going on my desk at work. The coolest thing about it is that it’s made on a 3d printer.”Nerdy but Good at It    ”The Gyro Cube from Shapeways, one of our many amazing wedding gifts.”365.25 on Tumbler    ”It is not only the objects themselves that fascinate,   but also the fact that many of them really couldn’t have been manufactured any other way.”The Age of 3D / Let’s Play!
