I saw on another thread that Shapeway is shutting down filing for bankruptcy. For those who don’t know Shapeway was a 3D printing company where hobbyists can upload their designs to have made and sell to the general public. Over the years I’ve purchased many things from Shapeway, kadee shims for Lionel milk cars to shorter drawbars for my Kline Berkshires. Harmondyard knows of the person who designed many of the O gauge products, don’t you? Shapeway 3 rail products |

They folded the tent around the end of July, quite unexpectedly (I had just received an order of ships/parts days earlier). I believe they were based in The Netherlands. It's unfortunate...they provided a good service with many talented designers selling their prints there.
