Hello
I sell iphone cases that use a metal bottle opener attachment.
http://www.shapeways.com/shops/amznfx
like these
http://www.shapeways.com/model/591443/ultimate-minimalistic- case-with-bottle-opener.html
I have a couple that i can start shipping out and i would like to add a small surcharge to the cases that i sell.
However, i would need the costumer's shipping address and name. This is not provided to me at all specially since personal comments can't be added to the purchased order.
I also want to make the metal attachment available at a discounted price to people who have purchased my product. I was going to set up a paypal account and ask for the order # as proof they purchased my product. However, the excell download option with this information is not working. (which needs to be fixed ASAP in my opinion)
Can anyone help? i'm pretty sure people would like this option.. like the guy who designed this ring
http://www.shapeways.com/model/318330/green-lantern-ring-16- 8mm.html
he can probably ship out his green stone

Hiya!
I started a new project because I find myself reading a lot of 3D printing news lately. On top of that, I'm not satisfied with the distribution of 3D printing news. There are some DIY/3D printing newsletters that promote products (like the Shapeways one), but they hardly cover any interesting news IMHO.
I will also cover interesting products found on Shapeways! First issue was launched yesterday.

I've been making an open wiki to get me and others started on 3d printing of novel musical instruments. There is an overview of 3d printing techniques, printed instruments, ideas and more. I'm an Industrial Design and Music student who is very interested in the new possibilities 3d printing holds for music. And I think there is a whole lot more to it then replicating Stradivarius or flutes!
The site is still (and always) under construction, but I'd be very interested in the opinion of 3d printing researchers and professionals!

Hi everyone.
I'd like to share my latest exeriment with you. It's called the Variable Cross.
It's a webpage where you can customise your own pendant, which is then printed in Sterling Silver by Shapeways (of course).

Please have a look and let me know what you think!

Hey folks,
I'm currently looking into getting myself a 3d printer. I'm going into my final year of my Bachelors of Architecture, and our uni doesn't have one. In fact, it doesn't have any sort of 3d machines like CNCs, or laser cutters etc etc. As a side hobby, I customise guitars, and a 3d printer would also be invaluable there.
I'm looking to get as big a build envelope as possible, so the Reprap Mondo seems to fit the requirements, and my budget. However, before I do actually get one, I've a couple of questions. If anyone out there could help me, that would be very appreciated.
First and foremost, realistically, how difficult is this whole project to get set up and get printing? I typically work in Sketchup and/or Rhino, but I've no experience with a 3d printer.
Secondly, fillaments seem to be pretty cheap. From my research, am I correct in guessing that the consumables for 3d printers are cheaper than, for example, a normal ink/laser printer?
Finally, my first semester of my last year is 90% based on a written thesis. As a little side job, I was toying with the idea of printing models for people in other years of my course and charging them. Is this a plausable idea?
Cheers folks,
T

I would love to see Shapeways explore the possibility of using Argentium Silver to replace the existing sterling silver material. This is .935 pure as opposed to .925, and it replaces some of the copper with a metalloid germanium. So, while it is still technically sterling silver the one great aspect is that it is extremely tarnish resistant.
I don't know too much about the cost other than Argentium silver jewellery is generally a bit more expensive.

Gidday,
What is the best material to make a mold for vacuum forming from?
Also it would be nice to have a material that could be sanded fairly easily so a good finish can be achieved.
Has anyone had any experience with vacuum forming from a shapeways mold?
thanks very much

I've been experimenting with cooking and cooked with a prototype design at the last meetup. I'm wondering if having a food grade enamel layer over metal might be a good option to explore?
I've heated various oils up to 300 and water to 200 in ceramic with a tea light. I'm curious what temperatures I can get with enameled metal.
Le Cruset has been doing this for 80+ years and I could envision coloring the enamel as shapeways does with sandstone to make wondrous cookware and drinkware.
From what I've read the enamel needs to bond to metal in some way then be fired to around 1400F. I'm no expert on the process, but I think kilns are already being used to make ceramic.

With an incredible succes, I've attended yesterday at "Kunst in het Volkspark" an amazing event where art and design are mixed each other, in Enschede - The Netherlands, with more than 30.000 visitors.
The most beautiful thing was to see the smiling and happy face of very enthusiastic women watching my designs, asking me information about this technology and than say: "... I love it, I want it!"
A very special thanks to these special women that love this new technology dressed with elegance.

Hi and welcome to the Shapeways forum! 3D printing is a cool technology, but in the end it's the people who will really make it count. Thanks for joining us If this is your first time here, check out the FAQs. Lots of answers to common questions can be found there.
The forum is where community members go to learn, create and inspire one another. It's an amazing place, and we want to keep it that way.
Read first. Then post
There's an incredible amount of knowledge and a wide range of people who hang out here. Read a few posts, get to know the tone and the humor. Once you do post, you'll have a much easier time getting or giving help. The more you engage with the community, the more you'll get out of the time you spend here.
Keep it human
Feel free to introduce yourself. Let us know who you are and what you're excited about. There are real humans behind all these screens, and that's a good thing!
Criticize constructively
Healthy debate and many discerning tastes are one of the best things about this community. But remember that not everything you say through text comes across with the smile, the laugh, or the good-natured sarcasm you may have intended. Take extra care to be (and sound) constructive. That said, if you see something that offends you, hit the report to moderator button and tell us why it offends you. Do not reply in retaliation, as this can make the problem worse.
Think before you post
Some things can be upsetting, but take a breath before you shoot back. If you're being demeaning, or are hurling personal attacks on others, you probably won't make many friends. Plus you run the risk of being banned. And that sucks. Please don't make us do that.
Run the boss test
We're not uptight, but we do need to make sure people feel comfortable. If you'd feel weird about your boss looking over your shoulder at whatever you're about to to post, you probably shouldn't post it. For argument's sake, let's assume you've got a cool boss.
Think Global. Think Big
One of the most amazing things about the Shapeways community is that we're dispersed all over the world. Remember that sometimes things can get lost in translation, and so it's probably best to always give people the benefit of the doubt.
Intellectual Property
Upload only models you have created, or that you have the rights to. Please don't copy other users designs, it's not good karma and it may get you banned.
Feedback
We love feedback, so there is a section to give feedback, to post suggestions and even complaints. Your first stop should be UserVoice to see if your question or issue has been raised before, so you can vote on it. We check it daily, so we know what's important to you.
Welcome and have fun!
Your moderators
Natalia, Bart, Michael, Stijn and Stony.

Hey folks,
next to my work here at Shapeways I also have fun running the main Blender news site, BlenderNation.com. I'm planning to do a large article on Monday to update the Blender community on some of our newer materials: Steel, Silver, Ceramics and Elasto Plastic.
For this article I'm looking for some Shapeways designs that were made using Blender. So if you have any models up (in shops, preferably!) with good photographs of 3D prints in one of those materials, please contact me at bart(at)blendernation(dot)com.
In your email, please include:
- A link to your model on Shapeways
- A 580x300 pixel photograph without any watermarks, text or logos. Submit only photographs - renders will be rejected.
- A screenshot of this project in Blender
- The name that you wish to appear in the credits
Please send your mail before Monday, 9am GMT+1 (Amsterdam time).
I'll select only one design to represent each material, so be sure to submit the very best picture you have! The selection will be based on the quality of the design, the way it demonstrates the particular material properties and the quality of the photograph.
Each BlenderNation post is usually read by about 10,000 people, so this should give your work some nice exposure!
Cheers,
Bart
