That is really sad to hear!! 

But, something that has been on my mind, how much will home printing going to affect the manufacturers, I mean I have just built 4 2023 Le Mans cars, which puts me in the position of not buying any releases of these cars. What do you guys think? Is this the first of many failures??

Shapeways was too expensive, there's better alternatives out there now.
