>>5766759Sorry for taking ages to answer this. Yes I am interested in making a pregnant lower torso, male or female version but I have some problems using Shapeways that I will try to explain fully. But the tl;dr is money.
For the first pair of heels I made, I prototyped them on my lab's printer, they were ugly and messed up but the peg holes were good enough to tell me if my tolerances were right. From there I ordered them on Shapeways to check to see it the tolerances were maintained across switching materials. This seemed to work out but I found that the first batch was loser then I would have hoped. I adjusted the design but not before a few people had them.
Since then I have been working on improving my lab's printers and my methods to try to get them to produce acceptable results. I can produce things far cheaper and iterate on versions much more quickly then using Shapeways. The problem I have is that while I can prototype a part my self before sending it off to Shapeways if it is a big part or I don't get it right the first time it starts getting too expensive for me.
I am getting to the point were I am happy with what my printers are producing but I realize that they still have imperfections and horizontal striations that give the parts a look that some might not like.
What it comes down to is that if people really want stuff in the Shapeways materiel I think I can do that for some parts but for bigger and more complex stuff I don't think I can afford it right now.
To answer whether or not I could make a lower torso available on Shapeways I am not quite sure yet, but the torso is already the largest part and with with the additional volume of the baby bump I am not exactly hopeful but maybe.
