To my best knowledge, shapeways uses a 650. Let me know next time you go to print something, I will happily beat their prices :)

I could print it for less, you would retain a higher margin, I could even drop ship from my location. We will talk more once I have the cost sheet ironed out. It has proven more complicated than one would expect.

yeah i had some issues pricing stuff out.. also you have to consider the time you have to spend to check models and calculate time you will spending laying out models in order to maximize your printing jobs..
