Thanks for the idea. I've seen them before and I'm not really interested in their arrangement. There are significant monthly fees ($25/month) plus 10% fees on each sale. I'm literally better off selling on eBay. Also, with Shapeways I only share my model file with that company. It's my understanding that with MMF the model file will go out to any number of random people to print. Lots of room for theft and abuse. Shapeways has a pretty unique setup that is really pretty nice but they're squeezing the margins too tight and ruining the business model for the shops. That's the direction their investors apparently want them to go and that's fine. Just a bummer for me.
I'm trying to adjust my models for successful home printing at this point to just phase out of dealing with Shapeways at all. I've been hoping to not have to do that but my Shapeways shop is just not bringing in enough money to make new products worth the time to develop.
