Hello, Shapeways Community!

1) What brings you to Shapeways?
The awesome.

2) Where are you from?
New Mexico, USA

3) What are your interests or hobbies that you plan on using Shapeways for?
Exploring ideas that have been bouncing around in my head for years.

4) Your software (Don't have one? Look here for a list of known compatible software!)
I live in the world of Linux, so the only software that really works for me is Blender. I would like to have a more technical CAD program for some projects. Perhaps I will be able to invest in one of the commercial applications later.

5) Your experience level
I am an engineer by training, and ended up specializing in design from the, "Let's not make this easy to blow up by accident" physical interface design point of view. Over the years I have studied design aesthetics. I try.

Welcome! What ideas are you starting with?

Right now, I am sticking with an abastracted "dog tag" design and charms that flow naturally from those designs. My aim right now is to keep the ideas simple and the costs as low as possible. I have several designs that are more involved in the works, but I am awaiting prints to see if I want to continue working on them. You can see my designs in my shop.
