Shapeways

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I've heard of this happening but I've never ordered that material myself so can't really say. 

[Patrx]

Gosh, I've never seen print lines that bad, and I've ordered several models in WSF unpolished. I think something went wrong.

[DinoLord]

Aw man that's a drag; if I were you I'd try to get my money back.

[reinier zwanink]

Ooh thats not good at all
Did you order them at the same time?
I have got 1 from shapeways to but that 1 is ok
I would contact them and add some pics

Yes, I ordered them together with other models too, but only these 2 in WSF no polished.

That's not normal. I've ordered lots of models in the WSF material and never had anything like this. You should show your photos to Shapeways and get a refund.

[ProSauropod]

I've gotten many different models from Shapeways, probably at least a dozen in WSF.  Never seen anything like this.  As stated, write them and send pictures - and please keep us informed as to what happens 

TQ; you posted as I was writing - reasonably good minds do think alike 

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I myself have also gotten alot of models from them and never seen anything this bad, I would be horrified and demand immediate replacement/refund. It seems to speak to something beyond just a printing error to allow something that deeply patterend to slide through their quality inspection prior to shipping. Truly sorry this happened to you

[shiftdel]

Thank you guys for the feedback, I just opened a complain with Shapeways, I will let you all know about the progress.  I was not believing that such bad quality could be normal, but had to be sure

[shiftdel]

I received an ultra fast response from Shapeways, she agreed that the models do not look good and will open a complaint to see if they can reprint the models for me, let´s see...

[reinier zwanink]

Thats good to hear

He but if do do
Can i get the old ones

[shiftdel]

Everything went well, they are going to reprint both models for me.  Great customer support.

I just got a crazy idea

There are stores here in the UK offering to make printed versions of yourself. I was thinking how weird it would be to scale yourself down to a certain size and then display yourself (literally) with your collection. I think my mind just exploded from awesomeness.

AAAAAKK why does the UK get the cool things

I would love to have a Model of my self at a Toy model Scale. The only replica I have of my self is a model Baby that was made to look like me when I was, well, A BABY

Wouldn't it be uber-creepy to print out all your Facebook (Instagram) friends? Imagine if one of them comes over and sees the collection!

[modelnut]

Wow! That would be so cool to place a model of yourself beside your favorite dinosaur model to show just how big the animal was. 

I have seen fellows do that by placing a picture of themselves next to a model. But a 3D version would look so cool!

Honestly, I wouldn't want a model of myself.

[Tyto_Theropod]

Me neither. It just gives me these weird voodoo vibes, if that makes any sense.

[Uroplatus]

Me neither. It just gives me these weird voodoo vibes, if that makes any sense.

It certainly does.
However, if you keep it for yourself and don't stick any needles in it i guess you would be fine.

Lol yup

Shapeways'  staff did a great job and sent me new prints of the models with problems:

Now that's an improvement

I wonder if Gorgonzola will re-do some of his older Shapeways prints, since he mentioned something about his style having grown a lot over the year or so. That would be cool.
