What do all of these objects have in common? They were all created using Shapeways, an RP-for-the-masses website that lets users upload 3D files then receive physical productions of their drawings roughly two weeks later.
You can also opt to sell your items through Shapeways' online marketplace which, presuming the math works out, is kind of a designer's dream; you design the thing, then they take care of the ordering, payment, production, shipping, and even customer service.

This is the coolest thing ever,
For a young designer to get your products out and sell them to the public without having to go through meetings, manufacturers and retail mark up!
yesssssssss
They only negative I can think of is that they seem to be getting popular and an occasional lap in turnaround or shipping(wrong item) does happen. However they're friendly and problems are usually solved very quickly.
