Re: Custom sword for TFCon 2011 Stronghold! (Shapeways)

In theory, yes.

In an applied way though, I would suggest that the entire piece be died in red, remaining transluscent, and then paint the handle.

Re: Custom sword for TFCon 2011 Stronghold! (Shapeways)

Um... according to the site it says it's 1.3 CM... but that should be 13cm.

Oh boy. I'm starting to think there's a scaling problem again...

I'll correct it right away, but odds are it'll make the price change.

EDIT: Yes... there was a scaling problem on my end. I'm reuploading it but watch the price of the Ultra Detail material jump. I'll add alternative material options to it, like the transparent detail, for those who'd like to still try the dye.

EDIT-EDIT: OK, I've corrected the scaling issue and the price is really affected. Frosted Ultra Detail is now roughly $35. The least expensive option remains the White Strong and Flexible, but it's at $18.

I've canceled my prototype order and will now pass a new one, still in Frosted Ultra Detail as I remain convinced it is still the best option.

Damn, I was hoping no one had because I hadn't received any information about someone buying it yet.

Please see if you can cancel the order, I don't want to take the chance that they would have sent the short version for production even though I altered the model.
