    Shapeways has introduced a new pricing structure for Frosted Ultra detail (FUD) and Frosted Extreme Detail (FXD). This means that most models will become cheaper, and the price difference between FUD and FXD is a lot smaller now.

    This doesn’t apply to all the models, about 70% will see a lower price (in my case after the first round of optimization 84% of my models dropped in price). Basically smaller single-part models will benefit the most. Some models have dropped 50% in price. Bigger models and sets of loose parts will see a price rise. Part of that price rise can be overcome by the designer, by attaching all the small parts to a sprue.

    Some examples:
    The N scale workshop interior details -40 %

    10 N scale IBC’s -40%

    12 Boom cabinets -30%

    SMD-fittable traffic lights -20%
