As for how good they are, Nate says that the parts made on his old MakerBot 3D printer work OK, but since the parts have never been printed by Shapeways I'm putting them in the Beta category. If folks report that the quality is good I'll remove them from Beta.

Mine arrived today. I would rate them pretty good overall. The finish is flat, so it doesn't match the slight sheen of the original. The "handle" on the Port cover protrudes out from the calculator more than the original and doesn't go to as close to the ends of the port cover as the original. The side cover is more difficult to insert than the original because the material seems stiffer (or perhaps just thicker.) Overall fit is excellent.
