Maybe a weapons/engines for your new data disks?

Continued from the Vent thread:
So when it says it can print "Layer resolution of 200 microns." what is a 'layer'?
I get most of the models I get printed are through Moddler.com who have a resolution of:
So I remain somewhat dubious of the quality as I'm told that even the best 3D printers can't actually print detail less than 0.2mm. And even then you will need finishing skills to refine the model.Originally Posted by Moddler FAQ
Which brings us to where we are today...
As I said before, we should really start an initiative with hasbro, if we can get enough support. There are lots of possibilities. Heads, weapons, spare parts, etc.
Really good.
The model you send to the 3d printer is printed one layer on top of another. Each layer can be as thin as 200 microns. but of course it is not as simple as that. Would you be able to post a link of a picture of the stuff you get printed? perhaps with a close up?
As for models from hastak, start up sketchup and try to design your own!
I don't have a camera that is capable of decent macro. I'll see if I can get it done later this week.
This is a client approval pic of the model from the printer himself:
That grill mesh used to be 0.2mm in diameter, but I had to increase the width to 0.5 or it wouldn't survive the cleaning processes. I also had to increase the shell thickness from 0.5 to 1mm or it could warp or be too fragile.

thats a nice print.
if i may ask, what did it cost to get that printed?
and how long did it take?
Yeah, Shapeways have been remarkably unimpressive lately, apparently.
Thanks. Looks nice in that photo. A macro photo would expose the stepping tho.
It was $35 from Moddler.com for the 56 x 20 x 50mm shell.
shaapeways.com wanted $8 for 'Strong and Flexible', $12 for 'Fine Detail'
ownage.com wanted $100
clayboxstudio.com wanted $300... yeah... maybe they confused mm for cm or maybe not...
