Shapeways Sampler Arrived!

     So my Shapeways sampler turned up in the mail today, only took a few days of transit time.  I've never ordered anything from them before so I was very excited to get a look at the finish on some of the materials.  The level of detail on the parts is really impressive and, aside from the "grey robust" material,  the level of striation from manufacturing is really quite minimal.  The stainless steel had much more heft and solidity to it than I expected, it really does come across like a cast piece.  Overall I'm very impressed with the quality and finish of the parts - I'm currently dreaming up things to have made. 

Stainless steel doesn't look that "bronzey" in real life, not a great photo.

Weirdly, my coloured sandstone piece is actually formed completely backwards!
