or draw your own ring http://www.shapeways.com/model/130195/draw_your_own_ring.html
i was thinking of buying a ring to be honest Jo! but to be honest, i haven't really got a clue what to draw,, don't have that much imagination 
sorry
sorry
yeah, maybe next time?
But I am sure the same design would look equally fetching as a ring.
Thanks for the tip Jo.

Great, was waiting for it too and am going to order one now.
Just a small thing: it would have been good to get the reference files along with the package rather then having to download single files from here. or maybe a packaged download with all files would be easier.
Thanks though, i am looking forward to receiving mine. cheers, bettina

Can we use the discount coupon to make a $25 order for free? Or do we still have to pay a minimum of $25 meaning that we can make a $50 order for $25?
Silly me, I did see it for $30 before I logged in. Damn you taxman. Still a good price though.
Just wondering what the delivery time is on this?
'cause I guess they're all pre-made?
I live in The Netherlands.

Good question, i ordered mine on the 13th and am still waiting?
if they're pre-made i can't imagine it would take that long, but if not then the steel one would be the longer to get made so might push the time out a bit.

I ordered this and something else on Aug 15. The other thing has arrived in the mean time but no trace of the sample pack. Would be nice if Shapeways could give us an update on why it is taking this long.
Guys Guys,
Long awaited Shapeways Materials sample kit.
Delivery time of this product is 20 working days.

Is that 20 days from now? Because 20 days have already passed since my (and the other posters') order.
It should be 20 'working days' from your order.
So not long now, There were a batch made up but the demand exceeded the stock so it will be the metal printing that slows down the orders.
