Why it's not possible to ship into Russia with USPS or some other postal service?

While I was in another city recently, a stranger did me a favor, and as thanks I've sent her one of my sculptures. Unfortunately there's no way in the ordering process to write a note to the recipient — so I'll have to find another way to say, "You don't know me but in about a week you're going to get a strange package"!

My sample kit included a booklet with details of many printing materials. I also received samples, but the link a, b, c etc to from the foldout to the samples is not there. Exactly what are the printing material samples I received. Thanks for our attention

Greetings--
I am very new to the 3D printing scene and I would like to hear this community's opinions on a very broad question: which manufacturer of 3D printers and equiptment is the best? By best I mean the company which produces the most popular, highest quality and most reliable equiptment and has the greatest potential for growth and best future (in general). Of course, no company will fit all of these criteria, but what I'm looking for is the company that you like most, and why. From the limited research I've done, 3D Systems looks good, but I could be way off.
Thanks a lot-
JG

| Price discrepancy for materials [message #42634] Tue, 24 January 2012 04:38 UTC |

I've uploaded a model that I was planning to get printed in Alumide. The materials comparison sheet says that Alumide is 1.99 / cm. WSF is 1.40/cm. My model is listed as costing $81.57 in WSF, so the model has a volume of approx 57.19 cubic cm. So to get it printed in Alumide it should be 115.31, however the price listed for Alumide is $189.34.
So I checked all the other prices and compared with the materials sheet.
WSF Polished = 101.59 = correct
RSF = 101.84 = correct
Frosted Ultra Detail = 334.42 = incorrect (204.59)
Frosted Detail = 230.59 = incorrect (141.68)
White Detail = 284.73 = incorrect (172.50)
Sandstone = 73.79 = incorrect (45.89)
Stainless Steel = 761.12 = incorrect (463.52)
Gold Plated = 764.12 = incorrect (466.52)
Antique Bronze = 762.62 = incorrect (465.02)
Alumide = 189.34 = incorrect (115.31)
I'm not sure if there's something very obvious that I'm missing or what's going on with this. Any thoughts?
Edit: Okay, I checked my model's volume in netfabb and it reports it as 94.27 cubic cm. This actually makes most of the prices above correct, but then the WSF (and colors, and polished) too low, so there's still some discrepancy somewhere.
Edit2: And nevermind... just saw another forum post that mentions a discount on WSF for volume greater than 20cm. Didn't notice it on the materials page because I wasn't looking to use WSF.
Thanks.

Dear friends,
As you see, I'm a new user of shapeways and I'm not so clever with forums...
I'd just like to know if anyone can help me, giving me any information or suggestions to sell my products, or better, to let customers find them.
Moreover, should anyone tell me if there is really the possibility of good affairs?
In a few days will be available my new serie special for Christmas.
Please visit my site.
Bye

I've Just had notice that a customer order in WSF placed on the 2nd of August has now shipped - less than three days !
But one of my own orders placed on 26th July - also in WSF - has not even gone into production yet . So are you giving higher priority external customer orders is is it just that my own order is more complicated a bulk pack rather than 5 individual items ?
i'm not complaining about this BTW - it's probably a good policy if it exists, just curious.
Tom

Hi, I was wondering when the next batch of material samples will be sent out. I ordered mine over a month ago and still haven't gotten one. Thanks!
EDIT: Nevermind, I checked my mailbox today and the sample package was in it! Hehe, I should have waited 24 hours before posting. Ah well.

| How to handle additional information to UPS? [message #19389] Tue, 19 October 2010 13:56 UTC |

Hi!
I live in an apartment building with code-lock at the front/main entrance.
Several orders have been delivered to my door in spite of that but understandably there have been occasions where they are not let in by neighbours and such.
Sometimes they even go that "extra mile" and look up my cellphone number when they are there.
I think that my current/latest order will have to be retrieved from their "local" distribution center (not really nearby in my case).
It has happened once before and it took quite a while to get there and back.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
How do you solve it?
Since UPS doesn't seem to get my phone number even though it's listed in my Shapeways profile I've been thinking about adding my phone number as a part of my address.
But that might mess things up for them if it's not recognized as a "normal" address.
Any other ideas?

| Weird volume or billing cavities [message #8952] Thu, 14 January 2010 03:12 UTC |

I want to know if enclosed cavities are billed or they must have a hole, because I think I read somewhere that trapped material wasn't billed. Yes, the cavities have normals pointing in (and outer shells point out). Even billing those handful of cm3, the price vs rought "bounding box" seems to be off (the BB is just 16 cents more, but I think there are a bit more "air" outside the model). So no idea what is going on, please help.
A line saying "your model is X cm3" would be a nice addition to owner page data, as well as more units while uploading (cm at least) and select/override for all formats (.wrl, meter as fixed default... waste of precission... and re-upload).
(Edit:)
OK, I figured what it was, it seems Blender3D is a bit special when saving .wrl with textures. Importing back showed vertices without faces for untextured polygons (the inner shells). Yep, the original file had all faces but the result of loading the .wrl had some floating points in air. New day, new different bugs.
The suggestion about volume info still holds, it could even report mesh stats like number of vertices and faces (triangles only? quads?), so you can verify your data reached Shapeways without weird loses.
