Comments on: 3D printing your Blender model with Shapeways http://hypertransitory.com/3dstuff/3d-printing-your-blender-model-with-shapeways/ Art, Writing, & Other stuff by John Garrett Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:43:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Dan http://hypertransitory.com/3dstuff/3d-printing-your-blender-model-with-shapeways/comment-page-1/#comment-48 Dan Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:24:16 +0000 http://hypertransitory.com/?p=142#comment-48 Interesting story. I'm an avid blender user, and regularly work with 3D printers. Its odd that they wouldn't have informed you sooner that a weapon couldn't be printed... I work at Offload Studios, our focus on 3D printing is more high end fine art, but we like to communicate with our clients on a personal level. Direct conversation with the artist on limitations before hand is always something that I find helps when your working with large / complex files. Even with simple files like a sword can be consulted upon. There much more to the process of creating art than just hitting "Print" ;) Great article, Dan Interesting story.
