Now that I'm inspired by the wonder that is shapeways, i've had a go at doing a model myself!

Please find linked below a small scale model of the Adder:

And a version that's just over 2x larger:

I honestly have no idea how big they are, and they are devoid of bases.

It's the best I can do in short order and given the terrible quality of the original Logos I could find on the web.

These turned out really well.

Very pretty Aegidian, they somehow have an ancient, well worn look about them, even though they're brand new!

Instant classics!

Do they come in 'silver' as well as 'gold'?

i take it that texture was intended? if so, how - sculpted on or can teh machine deal w/ normal maps?

The texture was unintended, it's the result of the SLS (selective laser sintering) process and it can't be easily buffed out, because these really are hard stainless steel and polishing them is tough. However I did manage to clean out the little grains of support material that can be clearly seen in the third photo with a fine needle.

These are my first cufflinks made by Shapeways, so I was a little in the dark as to how fine detail would work, and it turned out the text and chevrons were very close to the limit of 0.3mm. I've ordered some Cobbie 3 ones too, with even finer detail, I look forward to seeing how they come out.

The colour also is unintended. During the secondary process, which suffuses a fragile initial build with a second alloy to act as a flux during firing, bronze is added which gives a slight yellow tinge to the otherwise grey steel.

Of you want a pair, click the photos, they link to the item page on Shapeways. Other coloured metal effects are available, for a price, or you could get a lightweight discount pair made in coloured plastic.

Cufflinks are great, I'm a bit worried about the shirt though, do you go out much?

That's my favourite YSL shirt, that is!

I am rather fond of colourful apparel, especially in terms of my choice of converse sneakers.
