made in brown plastic. doesn't it look more like a horse or a dog?

for the first time, we tried creating the object with two colors
and we intend to create more colors and more details before we actually launch it as an item in our store.

     
we recently custom-made this photo frame based on the above original drawings sent to us by siblings, 
Shyo, a 5 year-old-boy and Hina, a 9 year-old-girl.

we are very glad that Shyo and Hina and their family were very happy to receive a unique and personalized photo frame as their Christmas present.

this series of photo frames are great as gifts not only for kids but also for parents or grandparents to safekeep their beloved children and grandchildren's photos as well as drawings!

We are currently in the midst of testing and developing a series of rings with our 3D printing machine.
This series will be the first rings to be produced by our machine.
Sizes of each ring will be customized as per specified by each order.
The photos here shows the sample components to one of our new designs, which will be launched in January 2012. 

Look out for their arrival!

To our dear customers who have purchased MONOCIRCUS' TRAVEL TAGS, we apologise for not being able to publish this user guide earlier.

This is a test print of an elephant made by MONOCIRCUS' own 3D printing machine. 6 cm wide and 4 cm high in size. 3D printing techniques are being used worldwide to create a variety of products and prototypes. The machine MONOCIRCUS is using is a DIY kind of 3D printer of which all the components of the machine has to be assembled on our own. The printing process is similar to an inkjet printer, where melted plastic is build up layer and layer along the contours of the object. Each layer has a minimum thickness of 0.2mm so the resultant object can be quite finely made. The finger-print-like texture you see on the surface of this elephant sample is a result of the shifting of the machine head. Even though the machine is

MONOCIRCUS' own series of STUCK pullovers for kids!
These fleece pullovers are imported from the United States and the patches of fabrics have been sewn on by our team.
These patches of fabrics are made in the same material as those typically used for stuffed plush toys. 
The little 'components' have velcro attached to their backs, which can be stuck onto these patches and are detachable so you can play around and vary their positions.
You can also choose to wear them without the 'components'.
For these hoodless pullovers, the MONOCIRCUS logo has been silkscreen printed on the shoulder area at the back of the pullovers.

The pullovers come in a single Size 3, for 2-3 year olds.
In this picture below, this little guy here is almost turning 4, and the size is just
