    They all look very cool.
    (but watch out for SW 3mm stainless deign rule and trade mark/brand name infringements ;))

    Thanks.
    Glad to see they were added as a favorite few minutes after upload.

    Trust me i had my share of orders cancellations back in December.. when SW started to enforce this rule without prior notice btw.... however these designs do follow the 3mm wall thickness rule for metal - not to be confuses with surface details thickness..

    As for trade mark/brand name infringements - there are none.
    The designs and names resemble the original movie props not an actual replica of any sort.

    Then again , i trust Robert / legal department to contact me if they do. ;)



     
  4. The name of the rose one is fantastic. I can't put a finger on what it is I like about it, but I love it!

    Woah, I might just buy some of those if I have the spare cash in my next order. I like the trekkie necklace in particular; I've been meaning to design something like that for myself, but you beat me to the punch!

    Your renders also look really nice. The very first one of this post (coin on red velvet) almost looked real to me the first time I saw it.

    I love the Stargate pendant but I have my doubts about its printability in s/s based on my own experiences (I mean to keep all the details haflway decent, that is).

    Would love to see some prints when made.

    Thanks

    Did you see my stainless steel Octopus details in the "It Arrived" forum? there are surface details 0.5-1mm high/width and they are seen very clearly

    https://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=4094&a mp;start=0&

    The Star gate is 4cm wide - so the details should be great, but definitely will be awesome with Hi-res Silver when it's back to Shapeways.

    Ah, yes, in high-res silver it would be awesome.

    4cm wide makes around 12 cm circumference with 40 segments, each segment is 3mm (or there abouts). What is the wall thickness between segments?

    And here is the Star Gate Ring 18.5mm

    Details height: 1mm.
    The top middle ring swivels... (has 1mm clearance)

    Looks fantastic, but I want to see the final printed piece in s/s.... I'm afraid those details are just going to fill in... and is that 1mm clearance around the entire circumference?

  19. These look great, and the modeling quality is awesome. I'd be really interested to see the result once they're printed. That said...

    Not to be a downer, but I've been working as an artist and designer for years, handling all my own contracts and legal issues. I've been on both sides of trademark lawsuits, and you're definitely opening yourself up to a trademark infringement complaint.

    Your designs vary slightly from the originals, which would protect you from copyright claims, but they are very similar and incorporate some trademarked logos (such as the Klingon symbol or the Stargate "A"), You're also using their trademarked names in conjunction, "Klingon", "Star Gate", etc. Trademarks have a much stronger level of protection, and very minor deviations to the design don't protect you.

    If you were to, say, call them "Star Voyage", "Fringon" and "Space Gate" you'd make yourself safer. Changing the logos enough to differentiate them would be better. (for example, in my shop I have a model called a "winged alien monster" which is in many way similar to the Games Workshop "Flying Hive Tyrant")

    Shapeways won't warn you that you're infringing trademark, either. They're a print on demand service, and when you check one of those uploading checkboxes you promise that you have the right to order prints of the models you upload. If you aren't correct when you check it and complete the upload, the responsibility falls onto you, and shapeways will point the lawyers in your direction.

    Very convincing arguments - thanks.

    I re-opened my shop few days ago.. only the Fringon ring was uploaded.
