The speed is nice (enabled by having no need to mechanically rip the print off the window and re-dunk), the fragility of parts is nice (again, from not having to rip each layer off the window), and...

Is this still live? I submitted a job, and nada... not a single response.
To highlight my focus on technology in model ship building, and 3D Printing in particular, I “printed” some business cards. Moveable anchor chain and a cable-laid hawser for a border (no mean feat in...
I needed medical attention after reading this piece- a Bandaid on my chin after my jaw dropped and hit the floor, and stitches for my sides which split from laughing so hard!
So hype, much...
I posted some images of model ships in the Gallery a while back, which were almost completely 3D printed. This brings up another topic: Longevity of our 3DP materials.
Museums and collectors of...
News? Or hype? More of the latter I suspect.
I think if the internet was around when CNC machining and G-code were first developed, they would have enjoyed similar levels of hype, er, news. Good...
My costs are immaterial. YOUR costs can be found on the Shapeways site! :cool:
Thanks!
How many parts? Over 100 in one model...because of the need for hand finishing, you can't just print a blob.
How long? 2 weeks! Shapeway's usual leadtime...
Thanks! I certainly expect to do more of this, between builds right now though.
Large SLA was done on a 3DS SLA7000 (mega-bucks machine)... all other parts (SLS and polyjet) are through whatever...
Model ship building is usually a labor of love, with single builds lasting for months or years. I'm patient, but I don't mind speeding things up a bit. Just finished a build in 3 months, where a...
