  1. This is the famous weapon of the superhero Batman, Batarang, based on the movie "The dark knight"!

  2. Some feedback would be nice even this isn't something prototype! :D

    Nice looking prop, but a couple of notes of caution: be wary if you intend to market it as a 'batarang' or the IP lawyers may go after you; also Shapeways might see a stainless steel version as a 'weapon' and not be inclined to print it - it might be best to keep it in plastic or alumide.

    Would like to see the WSF version with a couple of coats of metallic enamel paint, see how closely you can match the finish of the movie version.
     
  4. So, you mean that my next model won't be printable? :(

    Anyway, thanks for the feedback!!!
     
  5. A 1:1 scaled stainless steel knuckleduster ?
    C'mon. ^^

    Even without sharp blades (like the "original"), that's a weapon.
     
  6. XD

    Also, I was wondering if i can order it just for myself and not to publish it on my shop....can i?
     
  7.  
  8. So, you mean that I can create it? It is less than 10cm!
     
  9. But it's not a miniature... ;)

    In my opinion it's a weapon - but it's not my decision.
    You can try it... if the model gets rejected, it's not hard to guess why.

    If the measurement markings are centimeters (65mm width is small) and the model made in one of the plastic variants, the worst it would do is choke someone if they tried to eat it.

    However, if the measurement markings are inches, then printed in a plastic variant would make the model a 'movie prop replica' - just watch out for IP infringement. FreakingRiddle your best bet would be to make the model, upload it (keeping the model set to private) and ask Shapeways Customer Services for a definitive answer.

     
  11. It looks really awesome!
    Hope you can get it printed..
     
  12. Looks pretty cool. How come your model size says 2.1 inches and the one you show is 5? Did you change that?
     
  13. At the image above, the model size is in centimeters not inches! You can press the "cm" button under the preview instead of "in" and then you will get this : 5.3 w x 1.8 d x 0.1 h

    Hope I helped you and thanks for the feedback! :)
