Hello I'm looking for the slat armour set in 1:35 scale from Shapeways.

There are two option for the material:

Frosted ultra detail

Or

Frosted extreme detail

Except the price do you know the difference ?

The difference is in the precision of the machines making the printed parts resulting in more better rendition of details.

The extreme detail parts will be crisper and you will see better resolution of things like weld lines, fasteners, corners, edges, etc. Plus the inevitable print layers will be finer and more easily covered by paint (because you are NOT going to be able to sand them away on that product). Only you can decide if the extra level of detail is worth the extra cost.

Ok thank you. It is a pity there is not a view of each type of print on the website. I think I will go for the first option. Thank you.
