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?

Stinkie

That's adorable. Love it.

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.

Depowdering the build is happening live right now! http://www.justin.tv/theobjectshop

I hope this isn't too boring for you guys...I know I get irrationally excited about 3D printing sometimes
