Amazon's 3D Printing Store

Amazon and Mixee Labs have partnered to bring the world the Amazon 3D Printing Store.

I'm not posting an avert! I'm posting because I came here to see if the community was discussing it and didn't see it. I don't want to poison the well, so someone else start...

I would imagine it would be on par with Shapeways or Office Depot (?), though hopefully the added competition from Amazon will bring the prices down somewhat. They always seemed really high to me.

I hope so too. My electronics went down and I needed a part printed something bad. That combined with the fact that my printer was having a hard time with the part anyway gave me the idead to go checkout shapeway. They wanted 50 USD for the print!!! For that price I decided I would instead spend that amount on a new roll of plastic from ulti, wait for my new controller to come in, and keep tweeking my printer until I can finally print it.

Have you checked out makexyz.com to see if there's anyone listed near you that can print replacement parts?????
