New to me at least. These were brought to my attention this evening . They seem at a glance to be far superior to assemble borg or microman.

That's pretty neat. Getting to be more and more of these showing up on the market these days. Good news for the hobby!

At $25 a pop...I don't see this breaking into much of the Domestic Customizing market...

Can you order ANYTHING from shapeways for $5?

Prices will remain high for a while, but I think we'll see breaks within the next couple of years. More and more services are coming up and I would assume prices will become competitive.

I just read the page thoroughly .

Resin cast....

Not my preference when it comes to strength. There are some industrial strength / grade resins for sure but generally speaking i prefer my polymers not be 2 part mixed.

Other than that though for 4'' fans these seem like decent fodder.

If they are like Micoman and have that over time plastic becoming brittle problem, then it's no for me as well as the price point, i can see sculptors liking them.
