Man, I'm not sure what folks are talking about here. I've been using PIA since it started and have order many pieces using PIA. Just to illustrate here are images of the shipment (all PIA parts) that I recieved today. Some of them turned out perfectly some had some anticipated issues but nothing I couldn't fix.
This is PIA in extreme detail 1:32 scale. The barrel threw some issues so I used PIA... Printed out Great! No broken parts.
This is PIA extreme detail 1:64 scale a set of 2 nudes. Now, despite the report I recieved after printing these two figures are just fine. The only irritation is that they think they are not and won't print them again.
This is PIA White Strong Flexible. The stand was too thin according to initial tests.Even the handles came out.
I did not expect any of the plumbing to print out on this back head. The pipe at the top is the only broken piece. It was originally a huge curved rod going in to the enjector. Odly enough, I ordered this in White strong flexible polished. They charged me for WSF polished, but it is not polished. That's OK with me because I mistakenly selected polished and did not want it polished.
PIA WSF. One broken window. I was surprised the grab irons didn't break off. This is a 1:20 scale cab printed in hole with 4 loose shells. I think it turned out pretty darn good all things considered.
My thought is that if you are going to test the limits of wire and wall thickness you should be prepared to accept the possibility it might break at some point in the production process.
I've got another order of 3 PIA parts coming soon. Followed by 3 more. I have confidence that I will not be surprised by which parts make it and which parts don't.
