That's interesting. I got my radar in the mail yesterday, but no base, so they're figuring out where the hiccup was and hopefully sending one out.

Is the "can't" based on technical problems or legal ones?
The email said: "Thanks again for placing an order with Shapeways. Unfortunately, we are unable to manufacture one of the products in order #xxxxxxx.Given the nature of 3D printing, every now and then we catch designs that are too fragile to create in certain materials. Though we do our best to identify these issues as early as possible, some are only found during the manufacturing process."
And the page with the dish now says it's not for sale any more.

Didn't Jaitea get his dish and say it was perfect? What would make this product any more "fragile" than any other they sell? I don't know. Smells hinky to me.

Thanks, Datfly. I may take you up on that since I had to cancel the base part of the order also since no dish was coming.
I may message him and see if he has any info as to why they'd suddenly say it wasn't workable when it's been done for others.

Looking good Robiwon, very tempting :thumbsup
Thanks! I cancelled the dish base and vents, thinking "if they can't do a dish, how are they going to do open vents with those tiny flat lines?" I send a PM to Tony via shapeways site to see if he knew what was up.

You always get the coolest stuff....jealous...:$.....don't like you anymore...
....and I am never speaking to you again....:lol
Hi guys!
Many thanks for your support and patience!!!
The reason that Shapeways is not printing my dish is that they've changed the printing rules for FUD and FXD...
The minimum thickness for wires has increased from 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm... Incredible!
My 5 footer radar dish has the inner circle -over the central cone- that's 0.31 mm thick, and now Shapeways wants a thickness of 0.6 mm...
Curiously my dish has been printed several times with no problems, with a 95% success printing rate... No problems at all with my design.
The only problem is that they've changed the printing rules... That's not fair!!!
You can check my radar dish and other parts designed for Marko -a 20 mm radar dish; thanks for the shot Marko!-, perfectly printed:
I'm arguing with Shapeways about that and I'm waiting the answer... I will make available the dishes as soon as they answer me with a positive message...
Really upset...
