Hi All
I’ve recently set up an online store for cycling related personal accessories I have designed and I’d love some feedback from forum members.
To give some you background it started when I wanted to design and make my brother some cufflinks for his birthday. I used a 3D printer and it worked so well I tried a few more designs and it snowballed from there.
So far it’s mainly cufflinks , but I also have keyring and pendant designs, with some more on the way. I design them myself in CAD software and they’re produced by a company called shapeways. The beauty of shapeways is they can 3D print in a really wide range of materials – so you can have any of these made in coloured Plastic, Steel , Brass, Bronze, Silver, Gold and plenty more. You pick the material and finish you like.
Please have a look and let me know what you think, I’d love to hear any thoughts, constructive feedback, suggestions for designs you’d like to see etc. Custom one offs can also be done, if you're interested please let me know.
If anyone is interested in buying anything then I’m happy to offer forum members a 10% discount. Shapeways ship worldwide, the only prohibitive issue is they have a flat rate of shipping regardless of how many items are ordered, so if a few people are interested in anything I can order them all at once to save you the shipping costs as well.
Please take a look and let me know what you think:
