Currently, they have indicated they are only located in the EU. Unless they also get production going in the US, prices for most of our customers will be extremely high due to shipping and customs.

A friend of mine tried to do a $8 test print with the newly revived Shapeways. He ran into this: a $25 order minimum and a separate $30 minimum shipping charge. Oof.

All five of the "new" management team were with the company before they went under. Three of the five were part of the old management team. Not to sound jaded, but I have almost zero hope that they will do any better this time around.

I've been away, didn't know/remember about the browser security thing. I was a little surprised when I saw a few months ago that shapeways went bankrupt over a year ago. I do think the 7000 scale ships were wonderful.
One solution might be to contract with smaller 3d printer people who work on etsy. Multiple smaller manufacturers so they can be local to different areas to reduce shipping.

Any progress?

On what? If you mean finding a 3d printer, I bug Jean about it every day.

Thanks.

Jean says that two boxes of samples arrived for inspection and she and I and others will inspect them Monday and see what it takes to move ahead.

Any update on this topic?
As a player very desirous to get my hands on the 7000-series minis...
| By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 - 02:29 pm: Edit |
We are still working on it.

Thank-you, Jean!

If it works out, will there be 1/3788 scale Starline 2400 sized mini's?
That scale is mostly all I'm interested in. I don't want new purchases not fitting in with my existing collection of ships.

Robert Lender yes there will be all 3 (4) scales for sale eventually just maybenot all at start up.

I know they have a few 7000s working.
