Hello my name is Chris,
My wife and I run a shop through Shapeways. I was looking into outsourcing and idea that we have for a piece of jewelry. We are specifically looking for someone who has more experience with mechanical design. The design is fairly simple in concept, it just includes some machanized parts that we want to work properly. We would feel more comfortable with someone with more experience with that. Does this sound like something you'd be available to take on? What is your going rate, turn around time?
Thank you
Chris

Hi, my name is Chris.
My wife and I run a shop through Shapeways. We are looking to outsource some modeling work for a piece of jewelry we have designed. We have 2D vectored concept drawings already. Would you be available/ interested? What is your going rate/ turn around time?
Thank you,

For example, is it possible to print pulley belt from Strong & Flexible plastic? What dimensions can it have?

Hello everyone!
I've been a member here a while, but I've been lurking  Anyway, I had an idea and I'm looking for people to help because it could be a big job.
Basically I'm going to 3D print a mini desktop letterpress, for ink printing typographic artwork and text. I've got an idea of how to build it, working on the model right now BUT making the type blocks is a big job. Lots of fonts, lots of sizes, two cases plus italics etc... it's big. I was wondering if anyone fancied getting involved with me on the project to create sets of type and print-block images so we can launch it as a collaborative piece of mechanical / print art?
If not, hello anyway, nice to meet you
A:)

the files Hi guys,
I'm working on two projects that include 3D printing and I'm running into some problems.
The models that I uploaded onto shapeways are with the cheapest option way to expensive. The tutorials on making the models cheaper (wall thickness and open models) appear to have no effect.
How do I get my products cheaper to produce? size? different shape?
I hope you guys can help me, the files are in the attachments.

What material are you thinking of?
What do you consider expensive?
Your models are, by Shapeways standards, huge. Most of the SW materials charge by volume (wsf = 1.4 USD per cm3), so the best way to get cheaper models is reduce the volume.

For the vaas they calculated around $1800 dollar
and for the Ralph they calculated 330 dollar

Unfortunately this sounds about right - if we take the "spherical cow" approach,
"Ralph" is a simple hollow cylinder with radius 14 and height 28, which at 1mm
wall thickness translates to a bit over 240 cm^3, or around $340.
A potential solution is to replace at least some of the solid surfaces with a mesh-like
structure - or simply make them smaller, as volume (and hence price) goes with the
third power.

The Ralph has a volume of 234cm3 so 234 * 1.4 = 327 USD . Plus the handling fee of 1.5 gives a total of 328.50 USD, so that is correct.
The vaas has problems: the 'cups' that you have cut the bottoms off and then stacked are not manifold. That is to say they are not watertight shells (in the sense of closed in volumes). The bottom edges of each needs to be added except for the bottom one where it is the inner face of thebottom that is missing. When SW's system encounters such models it tries to fix them and does not always get it as you might wish. In this case it has probably closed the holes and solidified the whole thing, giving a high volume and hence high price. Even if you fix it, it will be expensive. And if it is a vase, when printed in wsf it will not be watertight (in the holding a liquid sense) unless you post-process it

Ok... it arrived a little while ago already whilst I was working on the Blender for 3D Printing DVD. But I wanted to wait with posting about it until I made the figurine available to the public. That's now! I'm really excited about the model... the end result turned out great! On the DVD I explain how I took the file from the short film and turned it into something printable. If you haven't yet... go see Sintel the Movie
You can find the model here: http://shpws.me/nSHR

I LOVE your grand piano speaker - we have 6 of our grandkids taking piano lessons - none have an iPad though.
I have no issue whatsoever with a similar flower/rose - at this moment in time the 3D market is in it's infancy and the more the general customer becomes aware of it, the better it will be for all of us.

I could be wrong, but I suspect that Origami13's orientation problems are not to do with the text but stepping on the petals.

Hello!
I'm looking for help in designing a coin for a game I'm making.
I would like the coin to be 30 x 30 x 2 mm thickness.
The shape is a soft triangle, but it needs to be able to be stack-able and interlocking, similar to a poker chip.
The game is a futuristic space game, so if you have some design chops, and can really make this an awesome coin, please let me know!
I've attached a really rough idea of what I'm looking for.
Cheers,
-Cody

Minimum thickness for stainless is 3mm - for a metal coin it will have to be thicker or in silver.

Hey all,
I created a model that is about 3w x 9d x 3.5h inches. I spent a good deal of time hollowing out the model, as is recommended in the tutorials section, but my prices for printing still seem to be ridiculously high. Am I doing something wrong? Is my model too large? I am not sure what to do to get the prices down to something more reasonable.

What material, can you share a model, a file, a picture etc?
Have you searched the forums for other similar queries, because this question has been asked many times before and the answer will be one of:
1. Your model is too big;
2. There is a problem with your model and SW thinks it is not hollow.
