Who wants to pay $2,500 + shipping, on something that deteriorates over time, if sun light possibly comes incontact with it. You my as well store it in a coffin!!

There are plenty of licensed prop replicas out there such as eFX, Qmx, and Anovos that offered better quality replicas for less. Greed was their undoing.

It was waaaaaay overpriced. Why would I buy a Graflex based lightsaber that is resin, but cost many times what I could build the real deal from real items for?

If 3D-printed material is exposed to too much light the plastic will be begin to deteriorate.

I wonder if it’s because the product wasn’t popular enough.

IF this company has gone under, I’m kind of glad. It never sat well with me that Disney/Lucasfilm were promoting 3D-printed materials as “super high end”. Do we know what will happen to the printing material over time? If I’m going to buy a high-end fighter pilot helmet, I want it to actually be made out of metal or hard plastic or whatever else would go into the real helmet.

I am extremely surprised to hear this.
