The quality of the 3D printing is quite good, IMO.
It depends on which type of material you order.
"White strong Flexible" plastic is the cheapest. The items' shapes are already quite good, but the surface is grainy like fine sand. and it will need a solid coat of primer or any paint will seep into the material. Still, on the wargames table it looks acceptable.
"Acryl Plastic" is the next level up in quality and price. Thsi is comparable to the old GW plastic minis in quality. The conversion kits I used are in that material.
"Frosted Detail" plastic is their top product. It rivals the best metal or resin minis in detail quality. But it is expensive, and I rarely order items in this material due to the cost.
Another issue is, of course, the skill of the designer and whether his taste fits your taste. But Shapeways do a good job of showing the designs.
One point to note with the conversion sets for the Sororitas: They are apparently designed for the metal Rhinos, which are a millimeter or two longer than the plastic ones. On plastic Rhinos, like mine, there is a noticeable overhang at the rear.

PS: I also have a
Shapeways shop with 6mm minis which I have designed. Very few SF Minis, though. I have concentrated on historical vehicles and aircraft.
