woody64 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Today I've opened the beta version of my new shop which provides customs accessories for LEGO Minifigs. The accessories are printed via 3d printer by an external provider which does also shipping and Web handling. My part is to bring in 3d designs usable for Minifigs. Currently a lot of hats of the napoleonic area are already available and some arms are under preparation. If you are interested visit: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/MinifigCustomsIn3d Here's an example of some of the available items: The base principles of the shop are: - Web, payment, printing and shipping is handled by shapeways - (shapeways uses paypal as payment method, no extra costs for shipping!!) - the items are delivered in white (the possibility of coloring is currently discussed and may be a later option) - the material is a fine polyamide (PA 2200) - alternatives are available on request but not tested - the surface of the 3d print is not as smooth as with injection molding, some may consider sanding for further improvements (take a look at the pictures provided with the items) In some cases (if there's enough interest) I also will add items asked for. Use this thread for requests. Currently two items are under preparation which were asked from other LEGO minifig builders. Andreas Edited January 8, 2009 by woody64
