We print the Radiolarian sculptures using our Formlabs Form 3 3D-printer. Each takes 6 to 14 hours to print. They are now for sale in our shop: n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/shop/search_...

Radiolaria are microscopic unicellular sea creatures that create skeletons from silica. Their skeletons are among the most beautiful and complex natural microstructures, resembling elaborate filigree. blog post: n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=9861

We have finally released our new puzzle, the Flummoxagon! We've done more tweaking and playtesting on this than any other puzzle, and I think we've managed to make a unique and addictive game. It's turned into something completely different from our original idea

I realized we hadn't updated our headshots in over a decade. It felt fitting to take new photos inside our own work (also featuring @nervousjesse.bsky.social @nervo.us)

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

I have been play testing our new puzzle which is _NOT_ a jigsaw puzzle. It’s been super fun. How long do you think should an easy puzzle take? What should each one of these sets of tiles be called? Internally we’ve been calling them scenarios but also considered “board” or just “puzzle”

A custom Spectre Tile Gradient jigsaw puzzle. This is a tray puzzle with more than 250 wooden pieces. Should we add this to our product catalog?
