The Mandelbulb, the 3D version of the mandelbrot set.
It was discovered at the end of 2009 by Daniel White & co in this thread at fractalforums: [link]
This 3D print of it has three interesting aspects, first: you can see all the famous areas, like "the spine", "the cave of lost secrets" (as Daniel named it
) and the "tower" and the mini-mini bulbs.
Second you can see the INSIDE as it really looks, even the small holes which leads into the minibulbs.
And third, you can WEAR it!
In the image you can see my wife wearing it, sadly it is a little too small for my own hand, but it is possible to carefully saw through it at the thinnest part in the bottom to make it open up more (the material used is flexible).
Sorry it is a bit expensive, but it takes a lot of material to make it big enough, and it is very rigid, not like my first Bracelet:
…much cheaper, but has a prototype feeling, the Mandelbulb Bracelet is a real jewel.

Thank you Cate!
I have a much cheaper (15€) : [link]
...but it gets much less solid.
Thank you Hera!
Thank you Robert!
in your work,it would be great.My pleasure and delight always,you're welcome
Johan!!!
I have a couple of very nice models which is OK besides some small too thin details...
Thank you again Ferrick!
Hey, where can you get stuff printed? Are there any companies or anything?
Anyhow, I want one too!
