Shapeways is dead!

From Lone Pine:

Well dang. Still time up close but no hugging. :sob:

I think that’s a good decision, there was never much support amongst the koala population for human-hugging. Wow we’re a loooong way from Shapeways terminating.

Glad some visitors from down under gave me this one last month, then:

I just read that the Dutch branch (where Shapeways started in the first place) probably will continue it’s business…

Where was this posted? If they do, that’d be good news!

I found it on a Dutch news site, so it would have been a bit hard for you to read, but good that you managed to find an English language site with the info.

Let’s hope it turns out to be true! I wonder how long before they launch a new website?..

I just put both of my Tokyo Ordnance Depot conversions up on Cults3D. I have been working over the last few months of transferring some of my files over to Cults.
Some of my less popular or obscure items are even free!

Tokyo Ordnance Depot definitely sounds like a taking names & kicking a$$ model kit manufacturer’s name.

ToD has a nice JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) ring to it. Who wouldn’t want a couple Tokyo Ordnance Depot series kits by JDM in their collection.

Headlines like Big Box trio of M4 Sherman releases from Tokyo Ordnance Depot by JDM bankrupt copy cat manufacturer.

I’ve setup a page on FB in the Interim, as I’m not all that great with web design… My FB |“site” for my 3D prints. I’m printing it all now. I’d been getting away from Shapeways as they kept wanting ‘more thickness’ on the designs.

I don’t do FB but just had to look - did you really mean to put your home address and phone number out there for the world to see?

Thinking about it, Yeah I did take the exact address out… But some people prefer phone/text messaging over FB messenger.

`I’m looking into an actual website (may not have ordering capabilities) but at least the list would be there.

Great stuff (your work). I think sites like Cults are the future. Shapeways was a great idea, but waaaay expensive.

Good luck on Cults!
