Tooling around - Shapeways

Thanks all :slight_smile:

@sanjy009: That is good to hear, they have been really easy to work with. I was curious and just saw your corn cob holders – nice material combo! How did you like the alumide vs the printed metal? I am not against the unglazed surface here but that is good to know for future objects. I wonder if you can purposefully make breakaway little feet to file off after printing if there is no good “bottom” surface.

@yo, GHoge: They can do white and some other colors, but only in gloss. I can definitely imagine some classic shaving brush, razor handles, soap dishes, and similar looking nice in the gloss white. Some more info at: https://www.shapeways.com/materials/ceramics?li=nav

@mroh11: Glad you can see the connection! I would love to go myself some day. The dimensions and cost with this material are here. I’m not too sure of the weight, but it is about what a regular coffee mug is, maybe a little more. Interested to hear what you might design with it too!
