So with the death of Shapeways, are any of the 3D printers on this site moving to pick up the lines that they offered? There were some amazing 1:2400 offerings on their site – especially TinyThingamajigs and Brown Water. They seem like a great potential line for those of you in that business.

I'd say this depends on who owns the rights for the designs and what does he want to do with them. The 3D printing business is somewhat different and usually much smaller.

I'm still printing my designs (Brown Water Navy); I just haven't gotten a website up and running, but I can send catalogues to anyone, and truthfully can print better than Shapeways.

Masters of Military and 3dtankfactory had a lot of useful files. The latter has started selling via ebay, but not in resin which is a shame.

I print Bergman WWI, WWII and Modern armor, BattleCat Miniatures and Medbury Miniatures.
