Nope, not at all!

You see, this isn't really a "Gather interest and make XX amount to hand out after", these are made once ordered. Meaning you order them yourself, Shapeways will make them and ship them to you. All I do is supply Shapeways the design, and they stack any markups I have and give it to me once a month, provided it is over $30 I make in sales. If it is under $30, they hold it until I make enough.

I was looking for "interest" just to save myself work and time uploading to Shapeways, and get some criticisms and such before I offered them to the public.

So once I know that they look good, I will open them up to the public and you order them whenever you want, however many you want.

I guess now I can start looking into appealing combinations of sets, since many would like to order more than one set, and even different branches. For certain I will offer:

- 1 USCM Pair
- 2 USCM Pairs
- 3 USCM Pairs
- 1 UACM Pair
- 2 UACM Pairs
- 3 UACM Pairs
- 1 UKCM Pair
- 2 UKCM Pairs
- 3 UKCM Pairs

But I could offer a combination, say:
- 1 US, 1 UA Pairs
- 1 US, 1 UK Pairs
- 1 US, 2 UA Pairs

- 1 US, 2 UK Pairs
- 1 UA, 2 US Pairs
- 1 UK, 2 US Pairs
- 1 US, 1 UA, 1 UK Pairs

Remember that if you order more than one pair in one file, they will ALL be printed in the same finish though

Got them today!

Been playing with them a bit. They do fit a standard butterfly clutch back, quite well actually, due to the somewhat rough texture. I would still be very careful with the posts however, because they are only 1mm diameter. They will pierce through material. I haven't yet taken photos of these on my Service C shirt yet, cause (don't laugh! haha) I can't push them through all the way, totally my own fault, damn these weak little muscles!! haha. I did get it to pierce through ever so slightly though. Will have to wait for someone else to do it for me haha, then I will take photos of them on the shirt.

Minor problem however, and again, not my fault and totally nothing wrong with the product. I may or may not be able to keep these pins because I actually ordered 3 sets with 2 different branches, and they sent ALL U.A.C.M. pins. I checked the file that was attached to my receipt and it was indeed Shapeways fault. I am in the process of dealing with customer service. The funny thing is I asked for a photo of the finished product before they shipped it, and they said "we don't do that". But had they have sent me a photo, I would have caught the mistake! haha. I'm hoping that I get to keep these, and will get refunded, but it just seems too good to be true, sadly We will see!

Next to standard "Military Butterfly Clutch backs" and a good ol' Canadian 25 cent piece!





I will open a thread in the PX once the issues are resolved, which will hopefully be later today!!

Looking great!
I hope the remaining questions get resolved with Shapeways and you get them to your Service C shirt soon.

I did!

Shapeways was quick to resolve the issue, and has issued the pins they sent as a "gift" and are reprinting the original file at no additional cost

I was going to post these photos in the Base PX thread I want to create, but I still need to prep my store and create the files with the different pins and upload them, which I will do tomorrow now, but here is the photos I took tonight!

Forgive the look of my Service C shirt, it needs a good ironing, and I'm fussy about the "imperfections" that come with a scratch built shirt, so it doesn't have that sharp look to it. Someday I will find a suitable womens shirt to use as a base and get it looking a bit better











Sorry for the delay on getting them in the PX, Should be up tomorrow sometime
