    I wonder if spacing the panels slightly (similar to expansion joints in sidewalks, driveways, and bridges), would reduce the expansion/contraction stresses for large models such as this where the effects of each panel add to those of its neighbors.
    It would be pretty difficult to lay out, without making a mess.

    Caution: CA debonder 's essentially acetone and will almost certainly remove paint.
    With regard to  panel pop-offs, my guess would be differential expansion between metal sheeting and resin parts.
    Is it possible that the resin parts shrink slightly over time if they aren't completely cured initially?

    Unfortunately Shapeways closed up and filed for bankruptcy about a month ago. I think the home printer market may have taken its toll on their business.
