Re: Custom sword for TFCon 2011 Stronghold! (Shapeways)
"Frosted Ultra Detail" is a transparent material.
The reasons it is recommended over the others are:
-It can handle very fine details, up to 0.1mm, something no other Shapeways material does
-It's the closest material to actual plastics that Shapeways can print
-It takes to paint very well, though a primer is always recommended
-It also takes dye very well
-It is more resistant than the Detail Black material and has less chances of accidentally snapping parts off. While that can still happen, usually for collectors, it's only in the case of excessive force.
