Greetings Folks

only just stumbled over the news that Shapeways has gone under.

shills I haven’t shopped there for a while, I have no interest/ Skill / motivation to acquire a 3D printer and print my own stuff…..

So is there an alternative marketplace for 3D scale modelling bits, or, …….

As far as I'm aware there's no direct replacement for the services that Shapeways offered. There are plenty of places to download STL files (free and paid) to print yourself, but I'm not aware of any company that offers a print-on-demand service for custom designs in a wide range of materials.

FYI  Shapeways is back but for legal reasons linked to the bankruptcy of its prior life the marketplace was emptied. So this will take time to see them reaching a level of offer comparable to the old one...

Yes, they are setting up a revamped marketplace but it will probably take awhile before it is repopulated. Cult3D and Etsy are two of the places I have dealt with in the meantime.
