poor mallet got scuffed after facing the might of the pins

[ultraman zoffy]

Picked up 4 pairs so far... good times.

[boyarque]

On behalf of other collectors over here in Malaysia, I salute you....

[Reïvaj]

Great job, veef. Thank you very much.

[VF5SS]

just enjoy your toys guys

i want to say this will all go towards something useful

but i think it's just going to go into more toys ( -w-);

[ff95gj]

Thanks veef. May I ask, the two-piece set is also the old version, right?

Thanks again!!!!

[VF5SS]

It's the new one.

[VF5SS]

We may be working on something that's less than one.

Nothing concrete yet.

[gerwalkun]

Hehe, I had to dust off my old login....

I just ordered 3 sets! New and old just so I can see the differences >_>

[VF5SS]

[Valkyrie23]

Pardon me if its not clear on the shapeways page, but which is the old version and which is the new? I see them both as being the white strong and flexible material.

[VF5SS]

Single is old. Pair is new.

[Loute]

My order went to production, I'll let you know how the pairs (new one) are working as soon as I receive them and have time to give you info (in a week or so) ;-)

I will do the same but with the old ones. I will let you all know what happened.

[VF5SS]

I added the black and dark gray versions of Polyamide. They cost a little more than just the white though.

[xrentonx]

Nice! By the way does polyamide react with other plastics at all?

[VF5SS]

I haven't seen anything to indicate that it does. If you have some questions you can ask on shapeways forum or check their FAQ

[VF5SS]

I saw a bunch got shipped out today.

Good luck, guys.

Don't break your mallets.

[robodragon]

I'm going to break out the BFM9000 for this one.

[Ghostkiller]

this is awesome for the VF-1 v2

a lot of members have NOW an easy way to fix this terrible issue

Veef : can you confirm that on the profile view the shoulders are not visible ?

with the original parts you see nothing and the top of the shoulder is angled towards the head in fighter mode

but in your last video they are a bit visible... hard to tell honestly with the angle of the camera

have you correctly placed the shoulder parts during reassembly

[VF5SS]

[Evilware]

I got an email from shapeways with shipping info.....it will be here on Monday!!!!

[Ghostkiller]

AWESOME

thanks for confirming I was wrong

Ohhh!!!! That's fantastic!

[Loute]

Mallet Superstar!!

Mine is already waiting, terrorized on what might happen in a few days.

Edit: hail to veef-bob the builder coming with a new item!

Mine got a shipping label with a tracking number on the 17th but it has not been updated. On the email itself indicates it will be delivered on Monday 20. Do you think it is not showing it updated only or it is that it has not been taken to the UPS facilities?

I just want to see them in my toy today!!

[VF5SS]

UPS is kind of weird.

Don't sweat it.

Don't sweat it.

Agreed, once I received an item one hour after it was visible on their tracking site.

[Reïvaj]

Agreed, once I received an item one hour after it was visible on their tracking site.

...and what was visible was: Your item has just DEFOLDED!!!

[VF5SS]

It will be delivered by the invisible loli from Aquarion Evol.

...and what was visible was: Your item has just DEFOLDED!!!

LOL'd at this one ;-)

I saw on the UPS tracking site that my order has just defolded in my letterbox this morning, have to wait till I get back home tonight (well it's already 12:35 here), damn working hours.

Scotty, teleportation!

Edit:

Ok, I got back from work tonight and the box was waiting for me.

Well, they're all here (I ordered 6 pairs) but something caught my eye: they came in two diffrent size. Not much of a bother I think since I tried different combinations (fat A + slim B, fat A + fat B, slim A +fat B , slim A + slim B) and everything seems to be ok, only need to sand them a bit and get rid of the grainy aspect on the mobile parts. I'm making photos of the parts and shooting a "hinge replacement session", I'll eventually post them later (by the end of the week I think).

Edit 2:

I'm having a hard time transforming my Super Ostrich into battroid mode, its parts are so clenched I could almost call it a Super Oyster (never had so much trouble with my VF-1A v2) :-/

Mine will be getting here anytime. Can you upload some pics to see what you are refering to?
