It arrived! | Forum profile

Thanks very much for the reply. That has cleared things up for me.

Beautiful piece indeed. Regarding the breakages, I had one piece printed in "white glaze" which was also a bit fragile; it survived the printing and shipping processes, but not the handling by people who expected it to be as strong as SW&F

In fairness I'm not optimistic about them working properly but I've tried 8 different designs, some threaded, some relying on other methods, so if any of them work then I'll be sure to let people know

I believe this is something Shapeways isn't catching at this time. Hollow models have to have an escape whole. If not the powder gets trapped. If not you're also not getting charged for all that extra material (I believe).

Had a bunch of troubles with UPS after a recent snowstorm, but the models finally came yesterday. I am very pleased with how they turned out. Quarters in images provided for scale. I am planning on giving these as christmas ornament gifts. Attachment: IMG_2664.JPG (Size: 172.57KB, Downloaded 30 time(s)) Attachment: IMG_2666.JPG (Size: 191.84KB, Downloaded 30 time(s))

I'm amazed at the detail of the metal print, very nice. And very very small characters

Hi Shapeways fans, Slice Kilominx is Bram Cohen's variation on David Litwin's Kilominx idea. In this twisty puzzle, bands of ten corners are turned around the inner sphere.

Outstanding! Thank you for sharing this. It's amazing that a guy that small can look so menacing.

Hey all! I just got a couple of other models I wanted to share with you! Here are some of my christmas tree balls: and here some pics of the f4cetttt ring, also made into a co-creator template. Hope you like it, and enjoy the next xmas days. Looks like we'll have have some snow this year!

My second Shapeways order, and it's as exciting as the first! I designed a Lorenz attractor model a long time ago, but couldn't order it until now. I got one in WSF, one in Transparent Detail, and one in White detail. I gave one to my old Differential Equations professor as a thank-you, and he was ecstatic! We agree that there's definitely a niche market for math model tchotchkes--Bathsheba's been a pretty good indicator...
