Thank you Marc,

Yes it is a huge improvement for the modeling world. It is each time a wonder for me to work on a design and being able to hold it in my hands a few days later. It is something I am not near to be tired from. I noticed that I am improving with the tolerances and material optimization with each new body.

I dream to own a SLS machine and being able to produce the shells myself, this would reduce the cost of the shells maybe by half if not more and make my own packaging possible. This is stage 2.

But we must wait on the generalization with the hardware to happen, because currently such a machine costs in the 6 digits and weights around 200 kilos... And so, being able to "rent" them through Shapeways is a blessing.

As always, patience will be rewarded, for us all.
