      Looking forward to the book! Can I ask how much something like this cost to print? Would love to take one of those cabins into the mountains when skiing! πŸ‘

        Sure Oli, the cabin cost $150 from Shapeways. They're definitely cozy cabins in real life! Book should out in a couple of months.

          Thanks for the info. Do you think it would be OK to apply a gloss to that particular material?

                Yes, I know other people have done it. A clear acrylic spray should work fine. The material is somewhat rough, so it would take a few coats to actually look glossy.

                Thanks Tom and dukejazz!

                    Andre, it is the full color sandstone material from Shapeways. I don't know the printer model, but you can find the specifications of the material here. Does that help?

                      In this video from the year 2010, they used a Zprinter 650...

                        Thanks for the feedback.

                        The quality and colour is amazing - I've decided I want one but my wife does the books....

                          I'm trying out a new print shop. They are printing a cabin for me right now, along with some other models. It'll be streaming live for the next 7 hours if you want to pop in a see how it works!

                          The printer is a Zcorp 650.
