I imported the model into the Shapeways website... Within 15mins, I knew that the model was viable and even had a price tag attached. Here are my first three uploads:
 |
| 10.5cm solid displaced model = $869.92 |
 |
| 5.4cm hollow displaced model = $127.59 |
 |
| 5cm solid constructed model = $98.48 |
Clearly, the volume has something to do with the cost but I found that with my 5cm model, that making it hollow, whether a cube or an identical replica within made no difference to the volume or the cost... this could be related to the 5cm size though... not sure.
The question is, should I buy it for nearly $100?
