MinifigsIn3d - 13th Mold - 30 years war

[woody64]

Pricing change

Due to a major change in the pricing of the printing company I have also done some changes.

The office now adds a handling fee from $1.5 due to the effort needed for the handling of small parts. In addition the cccm price is reduced. Unfortunately this affects all my small items.

Item packs

To handle this and to make the small items also affordable I've started to add packages of x (6,8,10) items per piece. So the price nearly remains in the same magnitude.

x-packages are available for:

- bayonette

- bayonette (sword form)

- pallasch

- degen

- axe

- mace

- brodie

The office wil do some test print and then I can open it to the public.

30 years war

There's a new section 30 years war with:

- Lobster (new)

- Merchant helm small/tall

- Drums

I think I will add some new items in the new future.

P.S.: The original Lego spanish helmet of the pirate series fits perfectly to this topic.

Prototyping

Since the prototyping always costs time and money for me I want to ask if the following will be acceptable to some of you.

When accepting a request for a new item from the comunity the requester will be asked to:

- if I answer a request with a prototype on shapeways

- the request owner is asked to buy the prototype and report the results via

- pictures or vignette if it's ok

- or failure report

For the requester that means:

- shapeways account

- $25 for a prototype

- this can be split into 2-3 new items (since the items can have failures)

- and any number of other existing items to fill up the $25

For me that means:

- no extra prototype costs

- faster response to the others for new items

- if an item is reported to be ok by a requester I can change the status to available

Would that be discussable

Wow, that's awesome. This saves the trouble of me having to make custom ones now, so I have definitely got to order from Shapeways soon.

Woody, I noticed there is now an option of having them made in (Polished?) Stainless Steel. Could you please try out that option on this helmet, and show us how it comes out? It would be much appreciated.

Can you make a Coonskin Cap?

Unfortunately the minimal wall thickness is 3mm for such items.

see:

http://www.shapeways.com/about/material-options

so the best results achieved so far seem to be in white detail (WD).

but most of my models have 0,8 mm wall size (due to an earlier request) and therefor have to be redesigned for WD. There's a section with items which should work with WD.

Here's a helmet directly coloured by shapeweways (limestone).

I have asked for further colouring options (mainly black).

If somebody is also interested in having more colours then please vote at:
