    we tested making another ring with our 3D printer. this time a DONKEY!

    made in brown plastic. doesn't it look more like a horse or a dog?
    whatever it may look like, it looks funny and we like it.

  2. 3D Printing Test : Fishing Guy

    we made a mock-up for a quirky brooch with MONOCIRCUS' own 3D printing machine.
    a little guy sitting on a little hill by a pool.
    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.

  3. recent project : Photo Frame

         
    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!

  5. TRAVEL TAG instructions

    To our dear customers who have purchased MONOCIRCUS' TRAVEL TAGS, we apologise for not being able to publish this user guide earlier.
    The ‘fingers’ of the plush TAG are quite fat so the brown ring looks a little tight for them.

    Here’s how to use the TAG.

    Sling the TAG through the handle or strap of your luggage or bag.

    Squish the fat ‘fingers’ together and push them through the brown loop.

    Hold on to the brown loop firmly then slowly pull at the three fingers at the same time push the loop downward.

  6. 3D Printing Test : Elephant

    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 relatively advanced in its technology, the resultant object still has a sort of handmade-ness to it that we admire. In order to produce the best results, quite a bit of adjustments have to be made depending on the various kind of colored plastic we use. To produce an elephant
