Shapeways is shutting down:

 I hadn't bought 3D prints in a while. I heard from a few Facebook friends who have had some storefronts on Shapeways, that Shapeways is shutting down. There are no mentions on this on the website, but after a quick Google search I found some news.

Shapeways filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and the big bosses abandoned ship. Also, The filing signifies the cessation of all operations... this royally sucks for a bunch of folks, who used Shapeways As a store front to sell their toy accessories and tabletop gaming pieces.

Ask a costumer, Shapeways wasn't beneficial to me. Since they used UPS as their shipping service, it required me to make humongous orders in order to justify their shipping prices. The saddest part.Was that prince coming from the united states would have been much cheaper to ship via USPS, but For being outside the continental 48 continental states, I was forced to use some far more expensive option. If the USPS shipping option had been available to me from the get go; I would've ordered more stuff from the various shapeways storefronts. Alas, I was stuck on the "Maybe later when something else drops." Now I missed out on a female action figure body that could've made a decent Irma base. 

But it was a good thing while it lasted. Nownthere goes another resource for Action Figure collectors to get props and stuff.
