Been so busy. Sadly on checking the price on this item, as an example only (no offence to Knuckles) . Shapeways after all their add ons ,want nearly £38 for it.It doesnt mention UPS charges, so it maybe approx £45 Crazy prices. I wont be going there again.

I'd like to buy a machine to do FUD/FXD/SFDP yet the cheapest are typically £6-10,000 as I've seen. :-/ Edited July 27, 2021 by Knuckles 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S-C Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Would you consider doing this yourself? I have stopped using Shapeways due to their very strange pricing logic. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckles Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 I do 3D print the majority of SCC items on my own printers now. Got two Photon's and a Mars 2 currently and once the top shed is renovated (lots of progress made at last) will be buying bigger hardware. please send email to: sparkshot082@gmail.com if you're interested in prints, my designs or otherwise. If you mean will I be buying a FUD/FXD/SFDP - Polyjetting Shapeways' style machine, the answer is I'd hope to one day but I'm a LOOOONG way off being able to afford one. Maybe ye could all crowd fund it, doubtful! But yes, it's a goal amongst others. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from print size, what do you perceive the advantages of a Shapeways style polyjet over a Mars or Photon? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckles Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 My experience with the two materials leads me to conclude FUD etc is dimensionally more accurate and a bit straighter plus parts fit together easier requiring less clearance and offsets in the design process. Less fold lines and being more rigid helps here n there. I'd say FUD etc isn't as smooth as Photon/Mars prints in most cases and is more brittle. Pro's n cons like most things. Both materials can give good results with TLC yet the qualities are different. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckles Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Furness Railway Baltic 115 Class 4-6-4T Tank - 3D Prints Released! Now released as a 3D printed body with some chassis options. I haven't built one yet although the client who initiated the commission tells me the body and chassis are good and is in the process of doing so so I'd think so. Not like it's my first attempt. Roof lid can be a piece of scrap anything. I've painted the renders in a later LMS livery for potential effect. Body: https://www.shapeways.com/product/BRMRRVMJL/furness-115-class-baltic-tank-4-6-4 Furness sections with chassis options: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/sparkshotcustomcreationsscc?section=4mm+Furness+%26+Cambrian+Loco'+Bodies&s=0 There are actually two loco bodies uploaded as the client wanted one with a slightly bigger sunroof than the drawings had so I've linked you with the other.

Knuckles Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 Seems this thread (amongst many others) has been visually trashed also due to the DEAD-iserve issues. Oh well. Fresh start as of now. A reminder if anyone is new to who I am: I do 3D designing, and also 3D printing so if there's anything in my range or your own items you'd like 3D printing please bung an email to sparkshot082@gmail.com There is a shapeways shop here: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/sparkshotcustomcreationsscc Yet a lot of items can be printed on own printers apart from them, also there are a lot of items not uploaded to Shapeways so really the range as it grows is split between the two. Currently working on drawing some metal chassis as the 3D printed ones were only ever meant to be a stop gap. If you click on the above link you can see some examples of what is on offer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 As a satisfied customer of the W&U 04 diesel conversion, I'll echo the excellent service & product I received. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckles Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 Thanks. : ) looks a good result. Some of my latest work.... Haven't released any of these bits for sale although if there is any interest I might do. They're for my engine shed interior. Prototypically some of it is likely nonsense as other than some photographs I don't know all the ins n outs of MPD's but it'll do for my layout. Quite pleased with how these have turned out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckles Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Also I've finally completed a proper SCC website! https://www.sparkshotcustomcreations.com/ I've done what I can for Mobile View also although some of the text refuses to shuffle nicely on the main page. It's all good for Desktop currently. Screen Shot of front page: Has a new Catalogue price list that has pictures and hyper links to Shapeways equivalents so hopefully navigation will be super easy. https://656d39ff-ec09-4b30-bcec-678065cb7c14.filesusr.com/ugd/e04827_ab98861d93ff473aa1229325122d0076.pdf The new price list and range replaces the older list of 2019. Please check the website out as it's the new main hub so to speak. Edited April 7, 2022 by Knuckles 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckles Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 For anyone wondering what the SCC Drewry 04 Diesel's look like completed on a RTR chassis, past critical design prototyping I've finally completed painting n detailing my version. Can see several pics and bit of footage in the video along with a few other's who have also completed one. I've completed mine as a Railways Series character 'Mavis' considering my layout is mostly going to be a mix of Railway Series and pre-Grouping stock. However, you could paint yours as a real loco as Chris Hopper and others have done. There is a great Missenden Abbey article he wrote too! Missenden Abbey Article by Chris Hopper: https://www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Drewry-Final-2.pdf If you'd like any 3D prints, a Drewry Diesel, your own STL files printing or anything else in the SCC range please send an email to spakshot082@gmail.com 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
