+ Intro

 

Hello,

Today is 3D-ecember the global holiday for 3D modeling and all things 3D. To honor that, we have 3 gifts for you.

We have 3 new materials for you to choose from. You can use Grey Robust and Black, Strong & Flexible for any models on the site. Stainless Steel Antique Bronzed can be used for the Cufflink and Ringpoem Creators.

We also have a customizable BrandingIron for you.

Enjoy,

Joris

 

+ Stainless Steel Antique Bronzed

Antique Bronze is the same material at the same price as our Stainless Steel material but adds some history to your Cufflink or Ringpoem. It adds a more steampunk, more classic look to your creation. You can choose from many different styles of personalized cuff links here (for $ 49) or turn your sentence saying or holiday greeting into a Stainless Steel Antique Bronzed Ringpoem here ($59). If you order today your model will arrive in time for Christmas.


+ Black, Strong & flexible

Our most popular material: White, Strong & Flexible now in Black. Many many many people have been asking for this. We're so happy to finally be able to give you what you want. For the same price as the other dyed materials ($4 start up and $1.78 per cubic CM), you can check what it does to the prices of models in the gallery. It is a bit more expensive but should lead to many deliciously dark models!


+ Grey Robust

 

Grey Robust replaces Cream Robust. The material is very dimensionally stable and tough. It is not flexible, so ideally suited for robot parts and housings. We thought the Grey would make a good 'maker' color and tempt many more of you to order this under appreciated material. I explain why Grey=Good here. The price is the same at: $ 2.50 per cubic cm


+ Branding Iron

With the Customizable BrandingIron you can really leave a mark on this world. A possibly crazy product or gift that for $25 turns a 2D design or words into a BrandingIron that attaches to a lighter. You can make your own text BrandingIron here and your own logo BrandingIron here. The BrandingIron is a huge hit already on Wired & BoingBoing and this lead to some silly price experimentation on my part. If you are a 3D modeler and want to make (or sell) your own BrandingIrons you can download the file here.

+ More materials

We hope you enjoy the 3 new materials but we are coming up with more. To tell us which materials we should evaluate and implement join the conversation here.
