Also, make sure none of the parts are two close together or they will be fused together when printed. And note that some materials, the metals for example, do not let you have multiple non-connected parts within the same file.]]> UniverseBecoming 2013-06-18T02:13:37-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=70001&th=14780#msg_70001 Display to the public, then add some categories, and finally check the Allow downloads check box on the bottom left to make it downloadable for us.

Once you've done that we can then download it and see what the problem is.

I once received a C&D from Zazzle employees who were contacted by Buzz Aldrin's company for using one of his moon shots. ]]> UniverseBecoming 2013-06-18T01:44:18-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=69998&th=14781#msg_69998
Yeah, either that or the Product Sets Mod found on the same age.



Roofoo,

You're welcome!

I haven't used these methods yet since I'm still doing R&D and building a machine for taking pictures and what not. Shapeways' lead time is so long for metals that I'm actually tooling up to do my own casting so I can do the R&D aspect in a few weeks as opposed to several months.

Great work on all of your designs by the way! I love what you've done so far! ]]> UniverseBecoming 2013-06-18T01:25:17-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=69997&th=14780#msg_69997 ]]> Paul_whitelock 2013-06-17T23:28:28-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=69996&th=14791#msg_69996 How to upload more then one files??

The eye bump that the eye is stuck on is also used as the infusion point by Shapeways in the stainless steel process. As a result it may not be perfectly flat and since it sticks out the eye may fall off in weedy fishing situations. You could regrind the bump flatter yourself or it is not a problem if you simply use paint to create the eye.

There are two revised versions, "sunken eye" and "no eye" I created for the summertime o'fun contest. Sunken eye" has a small cavity into which the fake eye may be stuck to provide some protection or you can cast your own eye into the cavity with waterproof glue/epoxy and colored inserts like tiny glass beads. "No eye" has, uh, no eye but I was thinking the elasto process could be used to make rubber eye plugs that fit into the eye hole. Or the elasto inserts could fit into the body hole behind the eye. They could be bushy/spiky things that plump up the lure to make it look larger or cause different movements in the water. And of course you could leave the eye open for a different look.



Oh, you can also configure the lure so that either end is the hook if you think the fish are smart enough to admire your artistic fishing choices.]]> MrNibbles 2013-06-17T22:22:10-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=69991&th=14517#msg_69991
A funny fact I did not mention, is that the mix of water and dye powder react a little bit like soapy water: it forms some films inside objects that are shaped like rings. And like bubbles, those films burst, projecting small droplets of colored water all around them (you can see some soap-like films in the video). ]]> Magic 2013-06-17T22:05:03-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=69988&th=14517#msg_69988 if you look at the tips on Rit's website, you will see that they recommend adding vinegar for Nylon and using salt for cotton & linen. Since Shapeways tells you that WSF is a nylon rather than a cotton or linen, vinegar is probably going to work better for you than salt. Vinegar is what I used, and my parts came out pretty dark in only 5mins. I realize that you used a different brand of dye, but I suspect that they are all pretty similar. That's a cool shade of green.

The result is quite disappointing for WSF and very convincing for Elasto Plastic.

I recieved a C&D (Cease and Desist) email from marvel asking me to remove all my work that ressembled anything of theirs. Anyone else had a similar experience?
They've also shot themselves in the foot too as I'm a product designer who will think twice about working with them in the future :/

I love having a BBQ with my friends and eating lots of spareribs. However, it always gets messy. All those bones and other trash is kind of annoying. So I made this ceramic cute bones trashcan piggy. Maybe it's a bit cruel, but what better way of saying put the ribs of a pig here with a little pig? It can also be used for other trash (pigs love everything) or just as bowl for things like bread.



The head and legs are hollow. The nose has two holes so the powder can get out of the head.]]> Daphne 2013-06-17T19:10:38-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=69974&th=14781#msg_69974 MrNib 2013-06-17T19:06:04-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=69968&th=14757#msg_69968
18 july 2013, in the evening.

Location still to be defined, according to the number of participants.

Holidays are near, but hey! Elasto Plastic (sounds like a new hero of The Incredibles ) deserves some attention!

Another thing good to know is that the description text box found on the edit product page uses Rich Text.
