I'm having some hassle getting a comment posted. I enter a comment and then the anti-spam string, but then I am told I entered the anti-spam string incorrectly. If I try again I am also told that there is no "hash header" or something.
NB: I have already commented on that post a couple of days earlier, I just had a new question - it's about the new flexi-material.

Hey peter, that's not good.
When did this happens, and what's your browser and computer info?

It started happening yesterday, and the day before as well, I think.
I'm running Chrome on Windows Vista Home Premium SP2.

Hey! I'd be happy to print a sample suction cup to test it out. Just send me the STL file (nancy (at) shapeways.com).
However, I just submitted the first sample batch for testing, so you'll have to wait a few more weeks before we send in the second batch. If you're still interested, shoot me the sample file.
Thanks!

For some reason I seem to have the same problem with the same blog. I can not add a post to it either (i'm very interested in trying this material actually - got one design which was originally for a flexible material).

Hi, nice to hear it's not just me! Nip over to Uservoice (link above) and vote for resolution, that might help things along.

Done, I've added my vote there.
By the way, for the design of the suction cup you can also consider https://www.123dapp.com/. I find it easier for more mechanical parts.

Thanks for the link, now in my bookmarks. I've just started to learn SketchUp and am getting ideas, so I'll press on with that for now.

Its an STL binary file - binarys end up a smaller filesize than ASCII - grab yourself a copy of NetFabb Basic (free) for viewing, scaling, etc - NetFabb is also an invaluable tool for checking measuring and repairing meshes.

As requested, attached is an STL file exported from Google SketchUp and then verified in NetFabb.
The various wire-frame views look as they should and NetFabb reports no errors. Here are the expected dimensions:
Cup diam: 3cm (er, if I remember)
Cup depth: 3mm
...that's what I set in SketchUp, of course you should double-check! Plus there's a handle on the top. I hope it's acceptable to you, please let me know
