    To the masses I don't know, maybe 20 pieces or so, don't know.
    Through shapeways it'll probably be the case, but that will be more expensive, through myself it will be limited.

    I think the Dragstrip kit looks good. Any idea when you will be putting it up for sale on Shapeways or your site?

    It needs to be a bit more adjusted, then it will be test printed so probably end of July, I have a lot of projects in my mind I want to start so, hopefully I can spend some whole weeks from next week on these things so I can finish them up.

    How's the Dragstrip project coming along? I just got a hold of a CW Dragstrip and waiting for your add on kit to be released. Please let know.

    It's coming along great, the front spoiler is almost done and ready to be "mass" produced :p  (If my printer let's me)
    The first prototype is shipped to a customizer here on the forums, you'll see soon enough.
    But before getting it out to more people I wanted to test it with ABS and using acetone to smoothing it out, but currently my printer won't let me print in ABS. Or the bed comes loose or the print does.
    If it's ready I'm going to try and see if I can find a right Yellow filament to print it in.

    I am at a loss for words so I'll keep this short. I got the CW: Dragstrip kit in the mail today and I am blown away! :D  Swinne2000 did a fantastic job in creating this kit! If you have a chance to get one then GET ONE! Here is a couple snap shots of Dragstrip in vehicle mode. I'll snap a couple pics of robot mode when he's fully dry.

    I am currently testing out some other methods for the wheels, since I want them to roll smoothly.

    And tomorrow I'm going to paint the aceton smoothened abs piece to see how smooth it actually shows when painted.

    I'm really getting close to a finished product, just some little tweaks.
