#skeleton
As you may or may not know, all of our 3D printing is done through Shapeways 3D printing service, located in Brooklyn NY. Shapeways has begun beta testing a new Etsy integration, which we will be setting up and testing out over the next few weeks.
What this means: Generally faster delivery times, and cheaper shipping. Non-poseable skeletons will now ship straight from the printers to customers. International orders should be much quicker to fulfill now, since they will be shipping from Shapeways’ Eindhoven Netherlands facility rather than the US.
Our “In a Can” line, 2D prints, other non-3D printed items, and Jewelry will be unaffected by this change, as they require post processing or are made in house, in the case of 2D prints.
Additionally, Etsy listings will now give the option to include or leave out the paperwork that generally ships with each model. Prices will be the same as they are now if the paperwork is included (paperwork will ship separately from the model), or $5 cheaper across the board if it isn’t included.
There shouldn’t be many other changes aside from where the models ship from, but if anyone has any question or concerns, our email address is [email protected]
TL;DR - Faster, cheaper order fulfillment and potentially cheaper skeletons going forward.
