Shapeways

[MakeshiftMartyr]

Hey all, I just joined 30 mins ago and I have a question hopefully some of you could answer…

I’m going to be building my first saber soon and I wanted to know where I can get Shtok’s CC parts printed in brass since Shapeway’s is closed down?

Attached are pictures of the parts I need.
Thanks all, Mark.

Supposedly shapeways is coming back?

The Dutch factory and management team have been working on rebuilding Shapeways, and have been able to purchase many of the US assets of Shapeways.

However, for legal and technical reasons they don't have the original Shapeways Marketplace working code or accessible content. So they can't just flip a switch and re-enable all the Marketplace stuff, unfortunately.

If you can get it printed on ShapeWays in brass it'll be THOUSANDS of dollars. I looked at printing some pieces like this (before they filed for bankruptcy) and it was way out of my price range.

Craftcloud will quote you out prices for print-to-brass, prices are reasonable for the work. You might be limited on the sizes though. Jewelry-size has been fine for me, but they couldn't do a large sword hilt.

Or you may try another route if that gets frustrating. There are a few members here who specialize in metalwork, jewelry, etc., and could fabricate this the old-school way? You’d have to look around; you might even save a few $

I think the original reveal was machined and turned by hand.no 3D printing 20 years ago.
