I will. I should have the first one with the updated front end in hand early next week. The other good news is that by combining the parts together the price went down by about $5. Every little bit helps!

Grunt, just wanted to check with you on the Kettenkrad, I want to order one but still
says comes in 3 parts. I don't see the front end or wheel on the site. :?
I see your last post....... so its all one kit not in 3 parts?

I am very interested also. The website is not too clear on what is available and what you need to order.
Could you please post here total cost for a full kit.
Also I am in Australia, I hope International sales are available.

Hi guys. The updated model was correct but the updated description didn't save apparently. I fixed it.

Updates: All parts are now included in one model. The model has been updated with a snap assembly so no glue is required. The forks and fender have been made more accurate. A Notek blackout light has also been added. Front tire snaps into forks and will rotate. Forks snap onto body and will turn. Seat can now be removed to make it easier to fit driver. Track are static and do not move.

Note that the photo of the 3d model is accurate and shows all of the updates. The finished build photo is still the old one which I will change as soon as I (or one of you guys :-) ) finishes an updated version.

Shapeways ships internationally so you should be good in Austrailia.

Thanks for the update on the front end and wheel being included in a single kit. I'd been putting off buying one since I couldn't find the other parts on your shapeways page and just assumed they were still undergoing some revisions or something.

I ordered a Kett and trailer last night so it should be here in a few weeks and I can add it to my gigantic pile of unfinished custom projects. :wink:

Thanks Grunt!!
I was holding off on ordering for the same reason as Centone.
Can't wait for this one. :)

Hallo He219,
try to contact Shapeways and ask if they are still printing the Kettenkrad. I don't see it listed
for sale on their site or the ebay store site.
Grunt1 is a member here and might have more information about it.

Good Luck!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention Normandy. Shapeways changed their printing requirements so now they will only print this model for me directly. That makes the ebay store the only option.

I listed a few on ebay but they sold out last week. The good news is that I have two, maybe three, left that I will list tonight. After that, I am all out for the time being.

My listings were restricted to the US which is why He219 couldn't see them. He219 I will open the Kettenkrads to international buyers this time.

These are the latest and greatest version.
