If you update a model the computer generated image is not updating to show the current state of the model.

Having seen an error in a model I uploaded, I corrected it but the image shown to the public is still the one with the error.

I'm sure this used to update.

Black ceramics is not added to shopping cart.

After updating my email in my account settings I'll get an error message 'Error' on the bottom of the page.

Is there any way Shapeways can offer Silver Glossy at 50%...? This way the piece can have some gloss and still retain more detail. Is there already a way to request this?

Is it possible to set a " follow " button beside each designer's profile ? Then each of us can choose to follow the favorite designers and receive updates from designers we're following. Same as how we follow each other on twitter.

In many products, quality and accuracy can be improved by being able to set in which orientation or direction a model should be printed. I'm proposing that we would optionally be able to specify what the 'z' axis of a print should be; if necessary, I'd be willing to pay a premium for this in de models where this option is chosen.

Currently silver can be ordered as "normal' and "glossy"

I would like to suggest adding a patina finish to it as a third option,
Patina is a black tarnish that forms on silver when it is submerged in certain chemicals. After the tarnish has formed a polishing round will remove most of the tarnish and cause the silver to shine again.
The more secluded parts like seams, dimples or recessed parts will remain dark.

This will add a great deal of detail to any product that is printed in sterling silver

For weeks now I have been unable to add my website into the Homepage field of the Blog. Every time I add my Wordpress blog address I get an error message stating that I am Spamming the site! Remove the address and all is fine again. I have no idea if this only applies to Wordpress addresses but it should be looked into. It has not been a problem in the past (seems that applies to a few current problems that have only just now popped up).

Suggested Feature:
A photo for each recently printed model in an order displaying it on a table with a (cm or in) measurement grid to illustrate how it looks before it is shipped. It would be displayed next to each product on the orders page.

This would give users a chance to establish that the product is roughly to the scale they anticipated when they ordered it as well as to simply enjoy the anticipation of seeing the product asap. Currently all there is a message stating that it is " in production"

There should be a place on shop page where shop owner's social network like Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest account can be found and followed.

Maybe a certification such as Verisign will convince more potential buyers that buying at Shapeways is safe.

Recently I created a model which I wanted in white, strong and flexible (polished). It turns out this option is not available to me as its 1.2cm too large. Because I cannot scale down the model for reasons being that the model is designed to be a specific dimension I found this to be disappointing.

It would be great if you increase the accepted dimensions from 15x15x15cm to something a little larger.

The UPS rates prevent a lot of overseas customers from buying items. Please come up with a way to allow customers to choose different postage rates.

I think the " originally uploaded date " should be shown for each model. In case someone claims copyright issues, this date can be a good proof of who's the first to come up with the design.

An alternative metal option to stainless steel or sterling silver that has high detail and smooth, high-gloss finish that is on par with sterling silver . Options that come to mind are true aluminum (not alumide) , steel or bronze. This would be an option i'm sure many people would take advantage of and it's success would probably exceed FUD's initial introduction response.

As I'm promoting my items among social networks, I found that many of the sites are showing static images, which provides great image quality. In comparison, the same images on shapeways model detail page are blur and with wrinkles, as they are shown in dynamic means.

I would suggest showing static images instead of dynamic, which may provide better image quality.

As a newbe it was not clear to me what constitutes a "wall" and what constitutes a "detail". I believe the former is "out of" the surface and the latter is "into" the surface but I'm still not sure. A quick footnote or link on the material specs to define "wall" and "detail" would be helpful.
