But even if you don’t win, you can still build your own. I made the print available for anyone to order through Shapeways. You’ll need to get both the color parts, and the clear bauble part to build it. (You’re on your own if you want to wire it to light up, but my video should give you some good tips!) Here’s where you can order the parts: http://shpws.me/M3AR & http://shpws.me/M3AZ
The prices on Shapeways seem to vary a bit by the day, but I set it to zero dollars profit, so all the money you pay goes directly to the print allowing it to be as low cost for you as possible. If you have any questions let me know!
Would it be possible to get the 3D image files for us to print on our own 3D printers should we have one? If not that’s fine and I understand.
Thanks Josh for everything you do. <3
I think those come with the file if you download it. I marked the checkbox to allow downloads, but I’ve never used that system, so I’m not sure how it works. If not, hit me up and I can get those to you.
I know that I joked about the capability of someday having a collaboration between GW2 and Shapeways.
That being said I think a lot of us would purchase items / models from such a venture.
I could see GW2 setting up a page at Shapeways where a series of models would be available to have printed. (At a mark up of course)
How about the ability to put together a Chess set based upon Game models.
Rook – Zojja or Brahmm
Knight – Caithe or Rox
Bishop – Logan or Kasmeer
Queen – Eir or Marjory
King – Rytlock or Canach
Pawn – Quaggan or Pale Reavers
Of course the other side of the board would be based upon the Undead or Mordremoth’s minions.
Also, I could see being able to have printed armor dummies with various sets of armor to put on display, not to mention weapon pieces.
Of course we would all love the opportunity to have our characters printed but we understand the difficulty in that.
I think that if it was done with the understanding that the end user would have to put them together as a model and do any touch up needed that this would be a hit.
Well, of course I’m being childish!
There’s no point being grown-up if you can’t be childish sometimes.
