Well, I'm definitely going to get this thing printed.  I have a model which would fit my wife's wrist, and she loves the design.  Now to find out the price.  It will be an anniversary present, and even if the cost is $100, it's still less money than a bracelet from the jeweler, and there's the fact that I made it myself of course!  I'll post the results here.

I see in that Shapeways thread that Unkerjay guy is going to order his print of your starball on Friday.  I wonder how that will turn out.
