"that was my whole initial question, if I was able to download just the design and print it myself...:)
As mentioned, I'm not happy with the price and the toughness of the material from shapeways...
Anyhow, thanks for your infos.

"Yes, you'd have to order it from Shapeways."
dan commented on dan's blog post quadcopter attempt"I don't see an option there to download the models without buying the physical thing from shapeways ...?"

"Oh one thing, if you need an idea on the build process, I have a parts list and details in this blog:

"Sure, you can get it at Shapeways here:

There's also one, that has a larger mounting plate, that'll fit AeroQuad, which uses a full sized…"

"I print the hub with 2mm thickness. Trust me it's tough enough. I crashed it enough times to attest to that.
The best thing about printing it in 3D, is no drilling, no cutting. I reinforced it everywhere, by just copying a cross…"

@Ellison Chan Interesting. HOWEVER, funnily enough I received my first 3D model from Sheapeways less than 2 weeks ago and…"

"Dan check out my 3D printed Firefly Mark One frame. You can angle the motors to your heart's desire. The motor mounts are 3D printed too, and made for cheap 12mm Trex 450 tail booms.
Check out the blog."

Damien C commented on dan's blog post Arm cortex 32bit (LM3S8962) an Wii Motion + gyroscopes"Thanks Dan for your quick answer.
Same story here the lack of good / full examples is making it difficult to progress as you said transition from arduino to other MCUs is quite harsh for newbies like me.
Though I haven t yet gave up make it work so…"
dan commented on dan's blog post Arm cortex 32bit (LM3S8962) an Wii Motion + gyroscopes"Hi Damien,
No sorry, I haven't tried to control servos with it.
I've tried to use if for my autonomous tank (http://trandi.wordpress.com/2011/05/14/tiger-1-bb-airsoft-rc-tank-%E2%80%93-v3/), BUT the more I played with it the…"
Damien C commented on dan's blog post Arm cortex 32bit (LM3S8962) an Wii Motion + gyroscopes"Hi Dan,
I m also using a 8962 and was wondering if you tried to link it with servo motors and if you would happen to have an example ?"
Luis Mauro commented on dan's blog post Measuring and avoiding vibration effects on quads"It´s very complicate, I agree. But It makes the difference if you want a very smooth fly.
The risk to tune the quad structure is to make a bad tunning and instead of attenuation you´re going to have amplification!! In this case is better…"
I.S. commented on dan's blog post Measuring and avoiding vibration effects on quads"- Ok, Mauro, you gave us enough academic reasons to convince us it was just a typo! ;)
The LPF makes much more sense to me.

Measuring and avoiding vibration effects on quads 2

Following my previous post, I've also tried a new frame design, with my original round tubes cut in half and attached together with 2 MikroKopter.de carbon fibre central plates.
I wonder if these central…

Following my previous unsuccessful attempts at building a quadcopter (I have serious issues with the balancing and stability) I've decided that it's likely all this is due to VIBRATIONS and it was time to…

Here's a long post about my first attempt at building a quadcopter.
One interesting and rather different feature is that I tried to use a .NET micro framework board (FEZ DOMINO)…
