No...not thinner, just finer resolution. I think Ken is going to have one silky smooth mod....

Here is 60µm on the left and regular 100-150µm on the right.

Sculpteo orders have been known to show up earlier than promised. U should get an email when parts are printed.

So I guess the question is do they send out a lot of emails that say "your order may be delayed"? That's what hurt my feelings, It was a 2/19 estimate, now its 2/23..

I got one of those on my last order and my parts actually showed up before my original date. I do know that shipping was ridiculously fast.

Yeah your right shipping is awesome! Mine ship from FRANCE, say Feb 15 and arrive 3 days later! To Pennsylvania!! I order from freakin Texas and don't get it for 2 weeks! Makes no sense France posts office must be on their game!

I have 4 on the way - 2 different orders (uh huh I know...) - ship date is 2/19 - delivery date 2/23
That might be why. Actually its gotta be why. You have 4 mods being printed and in different colors! My order was one plain white unpolished Peko! And back in Jan I got one also, same thing and it took only 6 days for all it too. Order placed, and 6 days at my door.

It comes from the city in France it's made in, then one other city in France and then I check the tracking and boom it's in Philly. Then my door. So 3 cities basically, it's weird and it's super fast.

Funny thing about sculpteo (not). They sent me an email that my item was printed. It was supposed to be beige but the picture appeared all smudged with brown and looks the worst print ever. Like something went wrong with the dye. So i thought well they might have spilled something on it lol.

The next day I log to my account and see that the item as restarted due to some print issues. Great CS but a hell of bad luck waiting for a reprint.

The amusing part is that it was pictured and emailed to me and then they realized the crappy job.

I think the photo shoot and email might be automated?

I am guessing that they have some sort of automated system that sends these emails out. It seems to set about one or two days too early in the production process. I guess one or their marketing gurus thinks it better to give a heads up about a potential delay than a last minute notice. Sounds good in theory, but they really need to tighten that up.

And shipped... Picked up in Toulouse @ 2.30p their time. So they missed the original 2/17 shipping estimate by 24hrs. I got the 8 day turn around info from a Motley Fool article: Why Excess Capacity Is Extremely Important to 3-D Printing Service Providers (DDD, SSYS) . I wouldn't have even noticed the delay but they are marketing their turn around, capacity..order tracking. So of course I'm watching. :unsure:
