Shapeways for electronics cases
I ordered another print from Shapeways and after some volcano-related delays, it finally arrived. Another good experience from Shapeways. Now that Sketchup 7.1 can do Collada exports, the process is easier but still, it does not have power tools for mesh editing, so it sometimes can be difficult creating a watertight model that passes Shapeways’ checks. Each 2-part case was a bit over $3 in “White, Strong and Flexible” material. (They’re small) and shipping for orders over $25 is free.

It holds a small capacitive sensor circuit.
Circuit and case put together
The case holds the circuit onto a conductive band
cool stuff,
Do you have them available in a shapeways shop?
Mark E and I met Joris from shapeways at makerfaire last year. He is a great guy!
I put these in a Shapeways shop but only for my own purchase. Just because it’s shaped for a custom circuit and not too useful for other purposes (unless you really really want one–then I will put it for sale!)
Cindy,
Why are you using shapeways and Google sketchup when you have Solidworks and the RPC at U of L?
