Title: Anyone have experience with shapeways.com 3D printing?
Post by: wes1099 on Sat, 11 October 2014, 16:58:25

I am designing my own spacebar and I was wondering if shapeways.com was a good place to print keycaps.

i use em for the megatrqn cap and they're pretty good, they take their time though. I think they wait until they get a certain volume of orders before doing anything SLA. Some of the finishing has been inconsistent, otherwise great.

I found 3DStuffMaker - http://www.3dstuffmaker.com/ as a good Experience while buying a Home printer. It took me a while to set his up and get all the settings right but printing is really easy!
