Hi Bryan,

Shapeways has filed for bankruptcy, and your T10 coupler is no longer available to purchase on your Shapeways page. Is there an alternate way for me to purchase couplers from you? I realize I could get them printed through Xometry or Protolabs, but I'd prefer to purchase them from you if possible. Do you have any in stock, and if so, what would the price be?

Best,
Jim

Hello!  I am currently working on a new option for manufacturing these.  I will be stocking a limited supply of custom parts (such as this coupler) to ship out to people like yourself! (I appreciate the support!!)

I will reply here once I have some available, which I hope to have by the end of August. In the case you can't wait for that - check out JLCPCB.com ... they have a great metal printing service with a fast turnaround, but potentially long shipping times.  I can't personally vouch for their 3d print quality but I've heard great things, and I have had circuit boards manufactured through them in the past that were absolutely fantastic.

Thanks again for your support!

Bryan

Thanks Jim, and thank you so much Bryan.

I too have been looking for these these parts or alternatives after slowly building and piecing together a ceramic system over the years. I look forward to any updates.

Thanks for all the information, work, and resources!

I'm having a batch of these components fabricated through a new manufacturer as we speak.  Once I have them in hand to test them (hopefully in the next week?), I will reach out to you to arrange buying directly from me.  Until then!
