Ouch. Seems like a few people are getting bitten by the shipping bug... I'll do some research, see if there are other sites that offer a better value for customers outside of America and Europe.
In other news, I feel confident I've fixed RD. I got news today that my prototype is being printed, which means it passed the tests.

Those who wanted to buy her, go ahead and try again! Please let me know if anything stops you again; it may mean I need to go visit Shapeways themselves and have a word with them.
Which I'm totally doing; I'm saving up to visit the company in November. Very, very excited.
