Shapeways is back, BUT...
The US company looks to be dead. The European/Netherlands branch has reorganized:

However, in this article is this:
"The new 3D printing service will however mainly be focusing on B2B customers ordering small and medium series 3D print jobs from industries like automotive, aerospace, architecture, medical technology and semiconductor."
It appears it will be a different company from the original in that it won't be offering the small model/collectible, etc. items from before. It will only be supplying items for large corporations.

Dang it! I just found out they did 40mm and 20mm resin resin replacements.
Is Shapeways coming back? I found an article that said they were reorganizing, but the site referenced had no product listed.
Thanks

I'd like to take a shot at removing the railings and water lining it as practice before moving onto something more expensive. Model Monkey and Shapeways has bits for this (and the Lindberg Rudderrow), but I can't seem to find any PE (specific or adaptable).
I know this is not the normal type of thing on here, but I gotta re
