Yeah, the conversation on their own forum is pretty brutal. God knows what people are saying elsewhere. I did research other options and it looks like Pinshape might be the best post-hike option, if they can handle the complexity (it's definitely harder getting good uploads, and that is saying something). Also, more expensive than the old SW prices - but a long way off the pending new ones.
Incidentally, everything I can fix (hopefully!!!) in time is up and available so go crazy if you're prepared to take the risk, and have deep pockets! You have 4.5 hours from now to take advantage of the old pricing...
About one in ten of my parts should drop in price under the new regime. They drop by small amounts, typically. "Low density" parts e.g. all the impossible cagework/framing stuff goes up hugely. More solid parts like the tower body or the transport tubes drop in price.
Was getting misleading error/rejection messages for four major parts for days, that lead me down the bloody garden path, not happy. Finally worked out it was merely a size/complexity issue and spend this afternoon racing the clock to get good uploads. I think I did, but my final pre-hike order had to be placed under the "print it anyway" no-refunds option. Meh, I've had about twelve hours sleep in the last four days so by this point I'm happy just to be making sense, if I am, haha.
