I’ve just put a new link on the homepage:
Fabjectory is now accepting and helping people who’d like to have their virtual SketchUp objects made into real life ones.
This is really exciting as there is a huge community of people who use SketchUp and the models should be more “sane” than some of the ones we’ve been pulling out of SecondLife; so hopefully we can get the price down some.
My one disappointment in this is that I can’t just put “it’ll be X dollars” on the page. It always annoys me when I go to a web page and can’t just find out how much something will cost.
I’ve been toying with a couple ways around this:
1. I could put out a series of “volume objects” that people could import and if their object fit inside x object it would be x dollars, y object y dollars and so on. This might be possible as the plain raw materials going into a model are such a large component of the cost.
2. I could publish a “do not exceed” value that was ridiculously high, though I worry people wouldn’t read the page and just see: “$300″ and bail.
I’m still not quite sure what I’m going to do yet, but something along one or both of those lines. Any other creative suggestions or thoughts would be great as well.
