Shapeways Pricing

You have until October 7th before Shapeways changes its pricing.
Good news is, it should be cheaper to print. The bad news is items that have more than piece will go up in pricing.

As an example the Recon 4 pack will cost close to $30 with their new pricing guide lines.
The good news is some of the prices are going down, if they are a one piece print.

Recon Vehicle

The plan was to pull this from Shapeways on the 9th this month. With the unknown state ofthe Robotech Gaming Center site currently in Limbo . I am going to keep it up in the store for the time being.

Factory

Upon a request from Breetai, he wanted a custom Factory designed for his table top.
I've up loaded two versions of this factory. One that is just the basic factory and the other I included two civilian trucks to go with it. Since shape ways automatically charges you $2.50 for the print, the more objects you can sneak into a print the more you can drive the cost down per model.

Here is the link to one of the Factorys. http://shpws.me/vRkG

Looks like all of the models are now showing up for sale so that issue has been resolved.

Shapeways delays

I've added a Rounded Building to the Shapeways store tonight as well. I noticed the Recon vehicle isn't showing up for sale yet. Seems there is a rather lengthy delay with their system when you check mark a item to make it available for sale.

I will keep an eye on this and if it still doesn't show up for sale by the morning. I'll contact them and see what the problem is.

Recon 4 Pack

For a very limited time I am going to offer this 4 Pack of Recon vehicles up on my Shapeways site.

On 9/9/14  I will be pulling it down from the Reckless shop.



Small set back

Due to an unexpected car repair I am not able to purchase the 3D printer this month. Luckily enough,  it is only a minor set back.

Because of this delay, I made a few more items available on shapeways.

I would like to post up a time line on when I will have that 3D printer. But until I can take another hard look at my budget, I dont want to promise anything yet.

Bursting Point

Well I found the 3D printer that should do the job for what I need it to do. I will be ordering the SeeMeCNC Orion 3D printer by the end of the week. I was hoping the Sculptify 3D printer would be in my price range but its layer thickness is at the 100 micron level. This immediately took it out of he running. I needed to find a printer that can handle 50 microns or less.

This Yoda print shows the difference in print quality from an 100 micron layer thickness on the left to the 50 micron layer thickness on the right. It is still not smooth as a babys butt, but it should do the trick.





So why did I title this up date bursting point?
After years of sitting on my Robotech 3D models and sitting back in shadows.
I am finally going to do something with them.




I will start working on a Fleet Scale Space Combat System.
