STL file output can be "tuned" to a finer resolution independent of the 3D printing machined used. The down side is that the CAD conversion to the STL format...
Shapeway did some pro bono work for me a couple of years ago. They printed the bell brackets and lanyard lever in stainless steel I used the default STL...
Hi Bill,  Is there a way to optimize one's part/.stl file for Shapeways, that will print with accepable resolution using FUD material, regardless of...
... The resolution is 375 x 375 x 790 (x y z)DPI for FD and 750 x 750 x 890 DPI for FUD ... Like all similar machines there are surface artefacts that need to...

I just acquired a Sherline 5400 with a bunch of attachments, clamps, manuals, etc., and a laptop with all the software installed. Let's just say it was at a ...
If the Sherline software is anything like the software I have for my Taig CNC machine, it will need toolpath instructions. I'm using Mach 3 to drive my milling...

The prospect of making cool model railroad object using 3D CAD and 3D printing was too much to resist. I loaded a couple of photos of the first decent 3D...

What media did you have Shapeways print your model in? It can make quite a difference. Could you please post an image of what they sent you and include a coin...
The cheapest, "white strong & flexible." It was my first try with Shapeways. I didn't know what I was going to get, but I knew how much I could pay. I've sent...
... They need to be 0.7mm for WSF Nylon ... No one is cheaper than Shapeways. Is there any reason why you split the piece into two halves? -- Bill Bedford "Man...
... If the thickness is only 0.4m It is still going to be thin for printing on Chris Ward's machines. If you want a smooth surface, I suggest you go for polish...
I think your design is part of the problem. If you cast/printed the tapered end pieces, designed in a vertical recess where those would meet the side pieces,...
This is a forward of a casting group post of some days ago and I'll add to it, below. These folks use a product/method where you print a mask from your...
